Expert Answers about Audi Q5


  • Do Hitches Impact Warranty When Used With a 2017 Audi Q5?
  • There would be no warranty issues unless the installation and the part caused a problem; you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act, which allows you to use aftermarket vehicle parts with no impact to your warranty. Each of the trailer hitches we have as fits for your 2017 Audi Q5 would work, but I recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 75940 over the Curt # C13136 because the use of the Curt hitch requires the use of stabilizing straps # 18050 with all non-trailer accessories such...

  • What Trailer Connectors Work with 7-Way to 5-Way and 4-Way Trailer Adapter # C35FR
  • The referenced 7-Way to 5-Way and 4-Way Trailer Adapter # C35FR is designed to accept either a standard 5-pole or 4-pole flat trailer-side connector. The linked photo shows a standard 4-pole trailer connector. The linked article shows a whole range of trailer connectors. If your trailer's connector is different then you might consider installing a new 4-pole like part # A35W42B which will be fully compatible with the Tow Ready adapter.

  • Roof-Rack-Mount Bike Wheel Holder for Factory Roof Rack on 2011 Audi Q5
  • The Saris Bike Wheel Holder for Traps Single Track # SAWHL1 is intended for use with their Triple Track (parts # SATRK33 and # SATRK34) and Single Track ( # SATRK14) bike carriers. It is not meant for use on a vehicle's roof rack crossbars. For a wheel carrier that can install on most aftermarket and factory roof racks you can instead use Thule part # TH98BV or Yakima part # Y02108.

  • Is There a Trailer Hitch Receiver Rated For Weight Distribution For a 2016 Audi Q5?
  • As the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75940 and all of our other receivers for your 2016 Audi Q5 are not rated for use with a weight distribution hitch this leads me to believe your chassis cannot support the use of a weight distribution hitch. While I could not find any specific information to confirm this the only mention I see of it in your owners manual is to referring to the loading of luggage between your vehicle and trailer when towing. The 4-Way Harness # C56404...

  • How to Tell if My 2019 Audi Q5 Has Factory Trailer Wiring
  • Basically if you look at the rear of your 2019 Audi Q5 and you don't see a trailer connector then you don't have one from the factory. Worst case scenario you can call your local dealer with your VIN and they will be able to confirm either way. Since you're looking into installing a hitch I would be very surprised if you already have wiring but no hitch - those are usually installed together if they are from the factory. So in addition to the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76183 that you're...

  • Flush Mounted Roof Rack for 2018 Audi Q5
  • Roof racks are custom fits for vehicles, and the Thule rack you mentioned is an entire kit and won't fit on your 2018 Audi Q5, although there is a rack with the same style which does. So long as you have flush-mounted rails there is a rack from Inno which has crossbars match the width of your Audi's roof: - Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB100-108 - Inno Flush Feet for Aero Crossbars - Flush Side Rails # INXS400 - Custom Fit Kit for Inno # INTR138 For a Thule roof rack, they have a style where...

  • Do You Have To Trim The Bumper On A 2011 Audi Q5 When Installing The Curt Class II Hitch, # C13136
  • There is no trimming on the bumper when installing the Curt Class II Hitch, # C13136, on your 2011 Audi Q5. The only trimming is to the heat shields that are located above the exhaust on the drivers and passenger side. The exhaust is lowered on both sides and the heat shields are removed and an area about 4 inches X 2-1/2 inches is cut out of the heat shield to allow clearance of installing the hitch to the vehicle frame. The estimated installation time that the manufacturer suggests is...

  • Wireless Brake Controller Compatibility with 2014 Audi Q5
  • The now-discontinued Prodigy RF you asked about can have serious issues pairing with European vehicles and while this used to be the only option for a wireless brake controller, that isn't the case anymore and I recommend an alternative that isn't going to have the amount of potential headaches. So long as your 2014 Audi Q5 has the factory tow package the Curt Echo # C51180 will simply plug into the 7-way on the back of your Audi. There is no other wiring needed and the only other thing...

  • Does Thule Hullavator Require Adapter to Use With Thule Crossbars on 2011 Audi Q5?
  • No type of adapter will be necessary to use the Thule Hullavator # TH898 with WingBar Load Bars, as they will fit into the channels of those bars. For your 2011 Audi Q5 you can install the Thule WingBar Crossbars # TH711220 (Black) or # TH711200 (Silver) and you will also need the Thule Evo Foot Pack # TH710601 and Thule Fit Kit # TH186019. I also strongly recommend using the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400, which will allow you to lock the rack to your Audi's roof and...

  • Tire Chains for 2018 Audi Q5 with 255/45r20 Tires
  • I was able to find the manual for the 2018 Audi Q5 and I've attached a the page that it talks about tire chains; from what I'm seeing it says to only install chains on the rear tires, so I would recommend double checking- there is more clearance at the rear of the vehicle which is why I believe this is the recommendation. Regardless of where you install them, you are correct in that you need chains or a fine mesh tire sock that is no taller than 13.5mm. I would recommend going with the...

  • Confirmation of Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver on a 2018 Audi SQ5
  • An aftermarket trailer hitch receiver, like the Draw-Tite # 76183 that is confirmed to fit the 2018 Audi SQ5, are often not designed to install or match a factory hitch receiver. In fact, sometimes when two different manufacturers offer an aftermarket hitch receiver for a specific vehicle, their designs can be completely different from one another.
