Just did a google search, you guys are awesome. This is the module -
VW T6 T5 Caddy Trailer Control Unit Tow Bar Module 1K0907383H AHK y.2017/ #12
So all I need to buy is the buy the dedicated wiring kit WTP, is there still a need to use VCDS to code my ECU?
Just to confirm this module will work with LED equipped trailers?

You don’t need VCDS. The module will already be coded to your van. Not sure on the LED compatibility. Something in the back of my mind is saying that it’s not

Ok, so maybe the VW Dealer is correct in selling me the VW-VGA055204LOAD for LED equipped trailers and saying it needs coding.
Would be nice if I could cut th VW-VGA055204LOAD LED Modile kit and hard wire it into the loom so it is inside the vehicle and to do away with the Plug adaptor setup.

Love what you are doing with your Van. Will check out your link and maybe copy a few things from what you have done.
That is just an in-line load that increases the resistance in the trailer circuits to fool the module into seeing a higher load when your led trailer is connected. It’s passive, it does not need coding.
Looking at a few oz forum posts elsewhere it seems the load box can be spliced in or a cheaper alternative is to add a load resistor to both indicators, tail and stop lights, this will trick the van into seeing a higher load than the LEDs that are connected

Yes I could put up with the light on the dash as it would be rare I use a LED equipped trailer. I will just go the standard for now like you suggest.
I am in Australia
Mine works with LED and normal lamps on the trailer, all I did was to connect the towbar electrics into the plug that is at the rear left quarter, you also have to relocate some of the pins in an existing plug at the same location.
you can buy the loom to do this, once connected everything should work perfectly - you don’t need to do anything under either of the seats and you don’t need to connect any modules (assuming you have towbar prep)
I’ll find a link to the loom I bought if that helps, I’m also happy to talk through it if you want to chat (pm me for contact details)
This was what I ordered, Electric Kit, towbar WESTFALIA 321652300113 — Buy now!
Bit late to the party but I have a tow bar module for sale. Super cheap as it’s surplus.
It’s listed in the for sale section but was a few weeks ago

All good, I decided to go with the loom from Volkswagen as the price in Australia was not that much more then aftermarket Westfalia. I will look at the posts suggestions to wire in a led load box later on.

Thanks Farnorthsurfer, I ended deciding to purchase the VW harness from the dealership. I Iam in Australia so postage cost would kill me. I have the VW towbar prep from the factory. Later on I plan to wire in the led load box.

Thanks Daddy. I decided to buy the harness from VW it was only about aud$40 more then the Westfalia.
I'm no expert but I speak German which really helps with a VW.
Anhaengeranschlussgerate means trailer connection control unit. So that black box looks like the trailer prep.
