No more Westfalia Towbars in Australia so Westfalia have recommended a Polish brand called Autohak. Similar in design.
Has anyone had experience with this?
Just in case someone reads this. Allspace and SWB have different rear bars. The side profile is different for top and middle parts. lower valence is different and even the fake exhaust parts are different. Where the towbar notch has to be cut, the profile of the SWB and Allspace bar is the same. So a same cut has to be made.
SWB factory towbar will fit the Allspace. The base wiring loom connect to control module ok in both cars.
Just a side note the CAN-Bus has to be enabled before the tow control module can be programmed. Reading installation manual for towbar there are two connectors near the steering column in a foam sleeve that need to be joined.

This outfit have them but at present Tiguan ones are on back order due to popularity where from I dont know as Towbars Australia in Caboolture now own the Westfalia website etc as Westfalia went broke in AUS and withdrew.
TBA can get them from overseas but a big wait due to Virus etc
They did say DONT buy the electrically retractable model
He assured me the Autohak were as good as the Westfalias

Just bought Westfalia tow bar with full integrated kit for 2017 tiguan R line, would be great to find anyone else that has installed the wiring kit on this model, will update once installed
Which connector do you have on your kit? I installed the factory controller, it was prewired for it in my my18 allspace on the left side. It was tricky to get into there though, the seats had to be lifted up. See Factory vs dealer fitted towbar

hi thanks for that, it's the 13 Pin Integrated wiring kit 305408300113, just wondering whether i need to run the canbus wires to the dash or is there a connection in the back?
A bit hard to find details on this kit.
If you have it already, can you take a closeup photo of the connector on the box, and on the cable that comes with it? I installed the factory gateway/controller/box that i got off a wrecker. It would go in the left side of the trunk in any case, as there's a grommet at that spot to pull the cable through to the towbar. Just get in there and check if there's a cable sitting there ready already. Here's a picture of where i put mine, and what the box / connectors looks like.

i should hopefully have it today and will upload photos, thanks, i am sure my kit comes with the westfalia controller though
