Ok, I can almost fathom why the 4E0907383C brake control module would be expensive, but seriously: can someone explain to me why a WIRE HARNESS to connect the brake control module and the 7-pin connector on the actual hitch is $170-$350??
i only need the wire harness/loom that connects the brake control module (4E0907383C) to the 7-pin trailer Harness Connector (4L0055305U).
maybe I'm just searching for the wrong part? I'm attempting to find either
4L0971124F (current) or 4L0971124B (older).
Thanks in advance for any help - it's for a '09 Q7 4.2 Prestige S-line.
I thought the wire harness was built in all Q7's for the tow module? I thought all you had to buy was the module and the hitch. install plug it in and get a vagcam to tell the can bus the tow module is there and bingo...

Yes agreed. But i already have the tow bar, hitch connector, and the brake controller module. I need the electrical cords that run along the tow bar and up into the back between them... Just the wires.
Ever get any help with this ??? I bought another Q7 and I'm trying to figure out the harness now myself. got both ends of the harness from a junk yard no middle part, what is the 2 pin connector for that splits off the harness.
Sorry must be it didn't get in the thread the first time. I used the 14 gauge wire.
part number: 000 979 225 = 3-7212 (for 2.5mm˛ wire ~~14 gauge). The dealer should have some of these, expensive but worked fine. the smaller ones are :
1.0mm˛ = 000 979 133, I thought teh woire was to small, both fix in the 2 pin connector.
Thanks for your work putting this info together. I know this thread is older but hopefully this question will help others too.
It seems like the part numbers you mention from ECS are for the housings. I can't tell if the housing includes the pins.
Can you confirm if the pins come with the housing?
Is a tool needed to extract the pins for attaching the wires?
Did you solder the wires to the pins or are they crimped?
