  • Can Bolts In Audi Q3 OEM Crossbars Work With Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket
  • I have attached a couple photos that show the bracket used to attach the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket, part # RMCB to a roof rack. As you can see from the 2 photos the # RMCB two-piece bracket fits the basket crossmembers and uses Allen bolts to secure the basket to your crossbars. I measured the lower portion of the bracket that goes under your crossbar and it measures 1 inch with the cushioned pad. You may want to measure the clearance below your crossbar to make sure...

  • Is Cutting Required to Install Trailer Hitch on 2020 Audi Q7
  • Yes, all of the hitches we carry for your 2020 Audi Q7 require fascia trimming. The Curt, part # C13277 has the least amount of trimming. I've attached pictures that show how much trimming is needed for each hitch. Despite the Curt requiring less trimming I prefer the Stealth hitches for your Audi. The appearance after the hitch is installed is a lot nicer in my opinion. With the Curt you see the receiver opening all the time and you can even kind of see the area that was trimmed. With...

  • How To Match Wires Function-To-Function To Install Tekonsha Bargman 7-Way Connector
  • There is a "color" chart for the Tekonsha Bargman 7-Way Connector with Coiled Cable, Item # WG54006-046, that is below: White--Ground Red--Left Turn and Brake Brown--Right Turn and Brake Green--Tail Lights Blue--Brake Power Black--12 Volt Yellow--Auxiliary However, manufacturers do not have a color standard for wiring and often change them so you will need to connect function-to-function and not necessarily color-to-color.

  • Is Any Programming Required When Installing The Tekonsha 4-Way On a 2013 Audi Q5
  • Installing the Tekonsha XCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 1192500KIT on your wife's 2013 Audi Q5 will not require any additional programming from the dealer. The kit simply ties into the tail light wiring for a signal input. It then takes power from the vehicle battery to send to the trailer light through the 4-way flat connector. This prevents any added strain on the wiring in your Q5. If you are planning to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13136 then you can use the...

  • Recommended Stealth Hitch For A 2017 Audi Q5 And Someone That Can Install It
  • The Stealth Hitches # 391AUDQ509 is definitely a fit for your 2017 Audi Q5, but is not an easy one to install. With that said, we have indeed started to get some installers listed on our site and I included a link to where you can find them below. You will just need to update the zip code to see those in your area. If there are currently none listed though, I always recommend going to a mechanic that has done good work on vehicles for you in the past. They will typically do the best job...

  • 2012 Audi A6 Trunk Liner Removal for Trailer Wiring Install
  • From the research I did on your 2012 Audi A6 it looks like to remove the trunk liner you will need to remove the warning triangle that is in your trunk and then remove the screw that holds the emergency release handle in place. There are 10 panel clips that hold the trim panel in place. You can use a panel removal or gently pull on the panel to get it to remove.

  • The available trailer hitch for the Avant model of the 2010 Audi A4 is Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11195. This hitch comes with the recommended drawbar. The cross tubing will be visible under the bottom bumper. Because of where the attachment points are on the vehicle, the hitch will be visible. I have included a link to the installation instructions below. With this hitch installed, you will just need a hitch ball and wiring for the trailer. For a ball, you can use # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter)...

  • Is Install of Stealth Hitch on 2016 Audi Allroad Same Difficulty as Other Hitch Brands
  • The trailer wiring that Uhaul would install would be basically the exact same thing as what comes with the Stealth hitch kit that fits your 2016 Audi Allroad with part # 391AUDA4A5S5T. I'd have them just install what comes with the kit as it's the same concept as what they have. The install is nothing crazy at all and any shop similar to them would have no problem installing the kit.

  • Difficulty of Installing a Trailer Hitch on a 2012 Audi A3
  • Installation of Curt trailer hitch # C11192 on your 2012 Audi A3 requires some drilling, bumper removal, fascia trimming, and removal of spare tire and tail lights. None of this is all that difficult, it just takes time. To determine if this is something you want to tackle you can take a look at the video I have linked showing an installation. I have also linked the instructions for you. You might not need to buy a torque wrench. Most auto parts stores will loan out tools. If you plan...

  • Wiring Connections for Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2016 Audi Q5s
  • Trailer wiring harness # 119250KIT doesn't have vehicle specific installation instructions so you have to test the vehicle wiring using the included circuit tester to make sure you are connecting its wires to the proper vehicle wire. Since your 2016 Audi Q5s has a multiplex wiring system it can take some trial and error to test and find the right wires, but it does not require splicing to attach. On your vehicle the brake lights and tail lights operate on the same wire. So you would...

  • Where Does the Fascia have to be Trimmed on a 2016 Audi A4 to Install a Trailer Hitch
  • Yes, fascia trimming is required to install Draw-Tite trailer hitch # DT24950 on a 2016 Audi A4. The area that needs to be trimmed is up underneath the vehicle and not visible otherwise. I have included a diagram that shows the area that needs to be trimmed. This is a bottom view as if you were lying on the ground looking up at the bottom of the vehicle. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated...

  • Does Install of Hitch on a 2015 Audi Q7 Require Rear Fascia Trimming
  • The rear fascia of your 2015 Audi Q7 will need to be trimmed so that it can be reinstalled after the install of the Curt Hitch part # 13220. There are many possible ways of making the cuts in the plastic appearance panel, including tin snips, a utility knife with a fresh blade or a Dremel tool. Your best bet would be to use whichever tool you feel most comfortable with. The cuts you make in the panel are meant to allow the hitch to pass through it. I don't have a template for you to use,...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2018 Audi Q5 With No Bumper Fascia Trimming Required
  • The Curt Class III hitch, part # C13331 would require that you trim the fascia in order to install it on your 2019 Audi Q5, so I wouldn't recommend it for a leased vehicle. The same would hold true for the Draw-Tite Class III, part # 76183 as you can see in the linked instructions. The good news is that we do offer the EcoHitch Class III, part # 306-X7397 that wouldn't require trimming of the bumper fascia. The installation is more involved, but it won't require altering the vehicle in...
