  • The Thule Wingbar Evo roof rack for your 2018 Audi Q5 part numbers # TH711320, # TH710601, and # TH186045 would be the best for attaching the Thule Hullavator # TH898 to. The Hullavator would easily fit into the top channels of the Wingbars for a clean and solid connection.

  • Troubleshooting Lights Failing After Installation of Curt 59236 on 2010 Audi Q5
  • It sounds like you have checked everything following your # C59236. A single harness failure happens sometimes but two in a row is not something we really see. The only thing I can think of is checking the power source. Make sure you are in fact hooked up to the vehicle battery. Outside of that, I can only recommend using the Tekonsha Upgraded Heavy Duty ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT instead. Tekonsha is the most reliable when it comes to wiring so if it...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2014 Audi Q5 Hybrid
  • I recommend using the Curt # C13136 on your 2014 Audi Q5 Hybrid, which will provide you with a 2" hitch receiver that is well suited for towing a trailer. It looks like your Q5 hybrid has a 4400-lbs towing capacity, so you'll want to make sure that you stay under that to avoid damaging your vehicle, but this hitch will allow you to tow up to that capacity. Since you're going to be towing, you'll also need trailer wiring, a ball mount and hitch ball to complete your towing setup. For wiring...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2009 Audi A4 Avant Wagon
  • I was able to confirm with Curt that the correct hitch for the 2009 Audi A4 Avant Wagon is the Curt Class I Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C11195, which will provide you with a 1-1/4" Class I receiver on your vehicle. If you're going to be towing a light weight trailer with this hitch you'll also need trailer wiring and a ball mount/hitch ball combo. For the wiring I recommend using the Tekonsha # 119250KIT because we've found that the converter boxes on the Tekonsha kits are a bit more...

  • Is There a Plug and Play Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2011 Audi Q5
  • I do have an option for you but there are no plug-in play trailer wiring harness options for a 2011 Audi Q5. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness you referenced is not a fit so if you're having issue that is likely why. I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119250KIT which uses clamp-on sensors therefore no splicing is required. Please note, you should be testing the wires to use with the hatch closed.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommended for 2018 Audi A3 Hatchback
  • As long as your 2018 Audi A3 Curt # C11399 you'd looked at because its not recessed as far under the vehicle, which makes it easier to find compatible hitch mounted accessories like bike racks. In order for a hitch mounted accessory to be compatible with this hitch, it must have a shank on it that measures longer than 6-1/2 inches, measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest upright portion of the hitch accessory. If your accessory has a shorter shank than that, the upright...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2018 Audi Q3 that Doesn't Require Hitch Adapter
  • If you use a hitch adapter to change hitch size from 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch the result is that the hitch loses 50 percent of it's tongue weight capacity due to added leverage and movement. Instead the better option would be to go with a 2 inch hitch that fits your 2018 Audi Q3 like the part # C13238 which would not require an adapter.

  • Parts Needed to Install a 7-Way and Brake Controller in a 2009 Audi Q7
  • You can install a 7-way and brake controller in your 2009 Audi Q7 with the Draw Tite hitch # 75950 that you are planning on installing but you have to start with a 4-way since your vehicle isn't pre-wired for a 7-way. So for that you'd want the 4-way kit part # 119250KIT which you'd then convert to a 7-way with the # ETBC7 so that you can install a brake controller like the Brake EVN part # TK63VR.

  • Can Older Thule Velo Vice 589 Be Used On 2018 Audi Q3?
  • I have a few options for you, but the Thule Velo Vise 589 you have can only be installed onto factory aero crossbars by using the Thule Ride On Adapter 532 which has been discontinued for quite a few years now. If you can find two of the then you can install them onto the crossbars on your 2018 Audi Q3, then install the bike rack on those.

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2010 Audi A4 Sedan
  • The CURT Class I, II, and some Class III trailer hitches require the use of a stabilizer strap, # 18050, in order to be in compliance with CURTs warranty requirements. The strap is meant to relieve some of the stress from the hitch when used for any non-trailer load such as a bike rack or cargo carrier. Other manufacturers do not require a strap. For your 2010 Audi A4, I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # DT24950. This is the most popular hitch for your vehicle. I have included a...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2022 Audi Q5 to Carry Bike Rack
  • I suggest the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver, # 391AUDQ518 for your 2022 Audi Q5. This completely hidden hitch keeps your Audi Q5 looking like it just came off the assembly line. You can remove the receiver for a fully concealed look when you're not carrying your bikes. This won't affect ground clearance or block your trunk's foot-access sensor. It is a simple, bolt-on installation - no drilling or welding required. If you do not already have a bike rack, I suggest you consider...

  • How to Measure for Crossbar Length to Use the Thule Hullavator on a 2016 Audi Q3
  • In order to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 on your 2016 Audi Q3 you need to have crossbars that extend 4"-8" past the feet of the roof rack. With the slope of your car, you would just want to be closer to the 8" side of that. Just measure the distance between the points on your roof where the feet will be installed and add 16" (8" to each side) then select the crossbars closest to that measurement.
