Expert Answers about Audi A4
- Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2017 Audi A4
- First, for a trailer hitch, I recommend # DT24950 for your 2017 Audi A4. I recommend this one over Curt hitch # C11448 because the Curt hitch requires a stabilization strap, # 18050, when using the hitch with a bike rack and the Draw-Tite hitch does not.
I have included a picture showing where the fascia trimming is required to install the hitch. It is a small section underneath the vehicle that is not visible (unless you are under the vehicle).
This this or any Class I trailer hitch...

- For lowered priced cables that fit your tire size of 245/40-18 I would recommend the Titan Tire Cables part # TC339DC. Reason being they have a V-pattern which will make for a smoother ride quality.

- As long as the 7-way round you have on your trailer is wired so that the stop/turn circuits are on the same circuits the # 47405 would be perfect for what you are trying to do.
If the 7-way you have is a Euro style that has separate taillight circuits then you would need to make an adapter, but I doubt this is this case.
If your 7-way is wired like the diagram I attached you would be good to go.

- Yes, we checked with Thule and the Passage part # TH910XT that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2014 Audi A4 so it would work well for you.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be...
view full answer... - Best Bike Carrier for 2018 Audi A4 Convertible for Electric Bikes
- We can help you with a bike carrier solution for your 2018 Audi A4 convertible but standard trunk racks are not a good option. Instead you can bolt on a hitch that will allow use of a much sturdier hitch-type rack and even other accessory carriers and avoid all risk of a bike rack damaging the car's painted finish.
For your A4 we offer three hitches that bolt on without drilling, using included hardware. These differ in the difficulty of the installation and just how noticeable the hitch...
view full answer... - Trailer hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Audi A4 Avant Wagon
- I do not recommend the use of a hitch adapter because doing so will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. For example Curt trailer hitch # C11180 is rated for 200 pounds tongue weight. The use of an adapter will reduce the capacity to 100 pounds. So the combined weight of the bike rack and bikes cannot exceed 100 pounds. The adapter will also increase the amount of stress on the hitch and attachment points on the vehicle.
The only adapter with a rise that we have...

- When we measured the clearance needed to install the Thule Helium 2 Bike Platform Rack TH44VR we actually found that from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the rack when folded was 5", and when not folded was 12", but Thule's measurement takes in to account 2" clearance to make sure the rack will not contact the bumper.
It will for sure work in the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11448 on your 2020 Audi A4 with the rack in the unfolded position, but when folded up...

- For your 2020 Grand Design Solitude 310GK that is pre-wired for a Furrion observation system we have the Vision S Wireless RV Observation Camera System w/ Side Marker Light Cameras # FCE48TASL-05 which would be all that you'd need. It comes with the rear and side cameras as well as a 5 inch display that allows you to easily view the cameras and select the different views as needed.
view full answer... - Roof Rack and Cargo Box Recommendation for a 2013 Audi A4 with Naked Roof
- To carry a cargo box on the roof of your 2013 Audi A4 you would first need to start with a roof rack like the Rhino Rack roof rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK208 that you referenced.
Now this rack would have a crossbar spread of 27-1/2 inches (distance between the two bars measured on center). I have a solution for you, but the Sportrack SR7095 would not fit this crossbar spread so it would not be the correct one to use. The Sportrack can only fit a...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For 2017 Audi A4 Avant
- The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C11448 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 A4. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch, part # DT24950 over the Curt hitch because Curt requires the use of a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 for all non-trailer loads. It can be very difficult to find a good attach point on some vehicles.
If you are planning on towing I recommend a ball mount like part # C45019. This ball...

- For your 2017 Audi A4 we have the Draw Tite hitch part # DT24950 that would work great for carrying E-bikes like what you have. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
The only E-bike rack we offer that fits a Class I hitch like the Draw Tite your vehicle needs is the Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 which will work great. It has more capacity than you'll need and comes with a ramp to make loading and unloading your heavier bikes easier. I attached a review...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier For 2008 Audi A4
- One of the nicest racks we offer that I recommend is the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack, part # TH45JV. This rack differs from most racks because it uses 2 rubber coated straps to secure the carrier to the vehicle versus 6 on most racks.
This carrier uses the OneKey system to lock both the rack and the bikes to deter theft.
If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between...

- We have confirmed with EcoHitch that the hitch part # 306-X7389 fits your 2011 Audi A4 Sedan. We had the chance to install the hitch on a similar A4 sedan and we found that it fit and worked well. Check out the install picture I attached.

- Curt has confirmed that their hitch # C11448 does fit the S-Line versions of the 2022 Audi A4 like you have so it would fit and work great.
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack for 2008 Audi A4 Cabriolet-Convertible
- The bike rack you were looking at is inactive and no longer available, but luckily there are some other trunk bike racks that fit your 2008 Audi A4 convertible. I recommend looking at the Saris Guardian 2 Bike Rack # SAR93FR which can also be found in a 3-bike version # SAR43FR. Saris does state that you should use Hatch Huggers # SA3035 on your vehicle to replace the lower hooks that come with the Saris Guardian bike racks; this way you will not risk damaging the bottom of your trunk with...

- For a roof rack capable of hauling a kayak and kayak carrier, I recommend using the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars part # RRVA118B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK208 in addition to our Thule DockGrip Kayak Carrier part # TH895. This will be the best option for your budget and as far as noise reduction goes as the aero bars will provide a much quieter ride in comparison to round/square cross bars.
Another more economical option involves our Inno Square Crossbar Roof Rack part # INB127,...

- For your tire size of 245/35ZR19 I'd recommend the Konig tire chains part # TH01221102. These are Class S compatible so they will fit well with 13.5 mm of clearance, would install easily, and will provide you great traction.
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Audi A4 Avant Wagon
- The weight of the bikes and rack on the rear of your 2004 Audi A4 will be mainly on the lower mounting pad of the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. There would not be any undue pressure on the rear glass that might damage it.
The Raceway is the nicest rack we offer and would be the one we recommend the highest. There are no trunk racks that allow the rear wipers to work with the rack installed.
A hitch mounted option might be your best option if that's important. This wouldn't touch your rear glass...
view full answer... - Adapter to Raise Yakima Bike Rack for Better Ground Clearance on a 2011 Audi A4 Avant Wagon
- Curt trailer hitch # C11195 sits right under the bottom of the rear fascia on your 2011 Audi A4. This is likely about the same as your current trailer hitch so it would likely not be any better in terms of ground clearance.
If your Yakima bike rack is the type that will fit 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch receivers you could use adapter # HT5R. However, using an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. The combined weight of the bike rack and the bikes cannot...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for 2009 Audi A4 Wagon
- The best bike rack I recommend for your 2009 Audi A4 Wagon is the Thule OutWay 3 bike rack, # TH56BV. This is one of the top trunk mount bike racks on the market that has been confirmed to fit your vehicle. Thule is a bike rack industry leader that I highly recommend for you.
What's nice about this bike rack is that it only uses only 2 retracting cables instead of 6 nylon straps that could wear and stretch over time and it includes locks for peace of mind while you are out on the trail....
