I'm getting ready for towing season but I need a little help. I am doing the install of the factory wiring harness and will have it reprogrammed for use with my next service. The problem I am running into is everything I looked at told me I needed a bracket for trailer hitch control unit (p/n 8R0-907-297-A.) I have no idea where to install the bracket or even how the hitch control unit fits into it. Can someone with a factory towing kit installed pull off the rear cover in the back cargo are (with the cigarette lighter) off and snap some picks for me? I've scoured to internet and cannot find any and the installation manual is not any help. Thank you.
Drive safe.

I figured it out after additional diligence. The unit fits into the cavity at the top of the area. Mounting points are the top of the current tray, the stud (no nut) on the front of the area, around where the connectors are, and a third stud without a nut. I hope this helps someone else.

Sorry, I cannot post pics.

Drive safe.
