It's an extra option at time of new order.
Simplest to get a dedicated kit for your model. Think that it needs coding in to get indicators etc fully operational. P F Jones do kits as one source. Again can be found on EBAY..
Try You Tube for video on how to do it.

As has been said above. If you are fitting an OEM wiring loom, either from VW or PFJones, it needs to be coded in using VCDS or equivalent.
Once coded, when you plug in the trailer, the vehicle rear parking sensors are disabled as is the rear fog light which is replaced by the trailer rear foglight. The trailer electrics will be checked by the vehicle computer when the Ignition is switched On. Also changes are made to braking system and stability control when a trailer/caravan or Towbar bike rack is fitted.

Be careful of those 'discount codes', some of them will use your bank details to take a monthly 'fee' from your bank for 'membership'. Typically the one on Trainline 'Complete Savings' scam which offered discount / cashback for tickets, some might call it legalised fraud.
