I had a wiring kit supplied with the towbar when i got it...

That just plugged in "in-line" to the rear light clusters on both sides.

Possibly the same is available for your car?

That sounds like just the job can you remember any details of who the supplier was The Tow bar I fitted was a "Witter" and fitted perfectly although the instructions failed to mention removal altogether of existing steel bumber located under the skirt to facilitate access to the insides of the chassis box apart fro that the "Cut" is near invisible I am very pleased !!

I bought mine from Ebay, (towequipe, now known as towbarman01?) just had a quick look and is doesn't look like they have one for the Jetta yet.... still too new.

Sorry i couldn't help you further

The OP already has the towbar (fitted himself), he is requesting where he can purchase the Plug-in wiring harness for the electrics.

Any contact info for towbars direct?
