Got my 2015 TDI SEL and have the hitch on order. On my 2012 I simply picked up power as needed by plugging into the rear 12V outlet. This time, however, I'm looking to do a cleaner install.
So which is easier/better to tap into the rear 12V outlet, or run a new line?
If I run a new line I would like to include the capacity for at least 20 amps without excessive voltage drop, so probably a 10 awg line. As such which would be the easiest/cleanest pickup point for power and what would be the best/easiest routing to the trunk area?
