  • Thule Rooftop Cargo Box and Aero Roof Rack for Audi A6 2017 Sedan
  • Yes, the Thule Motion XT 18-Cubic Foot Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629806 will fit well on your 2017 Audi A6 sedan as long as you have a roof rack on the car to mount it to. The Motion XT offers a 165-lb weight capacity (subject to the weight limit of your A6's roof) and internal length of 79-inches. If you need a roof rack we can help you with one. I recommend a quieter aero-style roof rack that will make less noise than standard round and square bar racks. All aero-style rack systems for...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2011 Audi A6 Quattro Towing Small Power Boat
  • The best option for your 2011 Audi A6 is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11344. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs and maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs. You will need to check your owner's manual to find what your A6 is capable of towing as well. You will be limited by whichever is lower, the hitch capacity or the towing capacity of your vehicle. Since you will be doing some towing, I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with...

  • Which 2 Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Racks will fit a 2004 Audi A6
  • To see the available trunk mounted bike racks for your Audi A6 Sedan, please click the provided link. Of the available choices, I can highly recommend the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. What makes the OutWay stand head and shoulders over the other options is the way that the rack attaches to the vehicle. Instead of using 6 straps that need to be adjusted each time the rack is installed or removed, the OutWay uses only 2 rubber-coated straps. This unique system allows the rack to be installed...

  • Bike Carrying Options for a 2019 Audi A6
  • We do offer bike carrying options for as 2019 Audi A6, but unfortunately none of our vendors offer a trailer hitch for your vehicle at this time. So, the remaining options are a trunk mount or a roof mounted rack, neither of which you were too thrilled about. Between the two options, I'd be much more inclined to choose a roof mounted carrying option as the roof racks are custom designed to fit a given vehicle. Because of this, they fit tightly and won't move around possibly causing damage...

  • 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.

  • Alternative Solution for Hitch Mounted Accessories on 2019 Audi A6 Quattro Sedan
  • The Stealth Hitch you're referring to fits select models of the Audi A3. Unfortunately, nobody makes a hitch that will fit your 2019 Audi A6 Quattro. If you were planning to use the hitch for a bike rack, the only option would be a trunk mounted bike rack like the Malone Hanger # MPG2139 The other alternative would be to add a roof rack like the Thule WingBar Evo rack which consists of # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145202. This would allow you to carry a bike with a rack like the FrontLoader...

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Audi A6 and a 2009 Toyota Venza
  • The nicest trunk mounted bike rack we offer that has been confirmed as a fit for both your 2009 Audi A6 and your 2009 Toyota Venza is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the protected straps also last longer. This rack includes a system to lock both the rack and the bikes to the...

  • Will The CurtTrailer Hitch # C11344 Interfere With Backup Camera On My 2011 Audi A6
  • If the backup camera on your 2011 Audi A6 is a factory option you should have no issues with the Curt Hitch, part # C11344, interfering with the camera. Curt test fits all of the hitches that they release on each vehicle model to ensure that there are no issues. Looking at the instruction for part # C11344, the hitch sits flush with the rear bumper, and more than likely will not even be detected by the backup camera. I have linked instructions for the Curt Hitch, part # C11344, and an...

  • Roof Rack and Large Roof Cargo Box Recommendation for 2018 Audi A6 Sedan
  • The best roof rack I can recommend for your 2018 Audi A6 sedan is going to be the Thule WingBar Evo kit that uses the part numbers # TH711400, # TH710501, and # TH145083. The reasons I recommend this roof rack is because the crossbars are aero shaped which allows them to be super quiet, the rack is very easy to install, and the overall quality and design of the rack is excellent so the rack will fit and work well for a very long time. I checked with Thule and with this rack installed the...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Bike Carrier For 2013 Audi A6 Wagon
  • We do not have a trunk-mount bike carrier that is designed to work with your 2013 Audi A6 Wagon but I do have a solution that will work for you. I recommend installing a trailer hitch like part # C11423. This is a Class l trailer hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Per Curt - All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from...

  • To install the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit # 119178KIT correctly to your 2007 Audi A6 you will simply need to use the included circuit tester to see which light functions you need to splice into. Since vehicle manufacturers are not always consistent with their wiring and since there is no standard for color wires to use this is the best method for installation. You will want to connect the following wires from the kit to the following functions on your...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Bike Rack For 2014 Audi A6
  • We only have one hitch that's a confirmed fit for your 2014 Audi A6, the Curt part # C11423. This hitch does require fascia trimming though. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058.

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2012 Audi A6 Prestige
  • We base the fits for our trunk racks based on what the manufacturer recommends for the bike rack. Yakima does not list the # Y02633 as a fit at this time (it may change in the future) so I would not recommend it for you. Regardless if other online retailers have said it would fit (most likely by mistake). Instead I would recommend the Thule OutWay 3 trunk rack part # TH56BV which has been confirmed as a fit. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It...

  • For your 2014 Audi A6 we have the Curt hitch part # C11423 that is a confirmed fit and would work well for carrying a bike rack.

  • How to Tow a Trailer with US 7-Way Using a 2014 Audi A6 with Euro 7-Way
  • I do have an option for you but the electrical system on your 2014 Audi A6 is very complex and I would not be able to help you fool it so if that is the goal then you would need to take the vehicle to the dealer and see what advice they have to offer. The best option I have for you which will not involve playing games with Audi's electronics would be to use the Trailer Connector Adapter part # 118710 that you already have and then remove the 7-way on the trailer in place of a 5-way like...
