  • Yes, you can reuse the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 on your 2019 Audi Q5.

  • Will Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Fit with 2016 Audi Q5 Opened Hatch
  • Yes, the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box - # Y95AV will fit and still allow hatch clearance on your 2016 Audi Q5. If you're like me and like to verify on my end as well (just to double check) all you need to do is measure from the center of your front crossbar to the line where your roof and hatch meet. As long as this distance is at least 47" the Skybox NX 16 will allow you to completely open up the hatch!

  • Will etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2021 Audi Q5 Plug-In Hybrid
  • Yes, the etrailer Hitch # e94CR will fit your 2021 Audi Q5 PHEV. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It features a bolt-on installation and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. It also has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver will be visible at the back of your vehicle. If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT for wiring. This wiring harness uses zero-contact interface sensors to identify the current...

  • Difference Between Hollywood Racks HLY74FR and HLY84FR Sport Rider SE Bike Racks
  • The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE would be a good choice. The only difference between the # HLY74FR and # HLY84FR bike racks is the hitch receiver size the rack is compatible with. The # HLY74FR will work with 1-1/4 or 2 inch hitches, while the # HLY84FR is only compatible with 2 inch hitches only. Either rack would work great for you, but the # HLY74FR would offer you some flexibility of you'll be using the rack on more than one vehicle. Because the RadRunner has a step through frame,...

  • Best Tire Chains for a 2018 Audi Q5 with 255/45-20 Tires
  • According to the owner's manual for your 2018 Audi Q5, tire chains can be installed so long as they are on the rear wheels and do not not add more than 0.53" or 13 mm in height.

The Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains are only 10 mm tall so you should not have any clearance issues. They have d-shape links for...

  • Is There a 1-1/4 Inch Hitch For 2021 Audi Q5 Plug-In Hybrid
  • There are only 2" trailer hitch receivers made for your 2021 Audi Q5 plug-in hybrid, but if you have an accessory with a 1-1/4" shank, you can use a hitch reducer; the hitch that fits your '21 Q5 plug-in hybrid is the following: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e94CR Then for the reducer use the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02. Just keep in mind that this will reduce the tongue weight capacity (either when towing or when using an accessory) to 300 lbs. You...

  • Recommended Thule Roof Rack for Carrying Motion XT Cargo Box on a 2018 Audi Q5
  • For your application I recommend using the WingBar Evo over the WingBar Edge to carry the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629906 on your 2018 Audi Q5. I personally like the idea of having a bit more roof rack real estate in case you want to use the roof rack for other things in the future. The Edge looks a little more OEM but you only get 37-1/2" of crossbar instead of 50" like what we find with the Evo. Either roof rack will work just fine and the wind noise is going to be the same...

  • Hidden Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Audi Q5
  • We have a really great hidden hitch solution for your 2020 Audi Q5 with the Stealth Hitch part # 391AUDQ518T. Unlike other options when this hitch is installed the lower opening can be totally removed when not in use so that it's completely out of sight and "hidden". This also comes with a ball mount adapter and with trailer wiring so with the one part number you'd have a complete towing setup.

  • Adding a Cable Lock to Increase the Security of the Yakima FullSwing Bike Rack
  • I think you're giving a would-be thief too much credit. Anything that takes time, like disassembling a bike rack, is not appealing to a thief and they will move on to an easier target. But for the more ambitious thief they could be deterred from this action by the addition of a cable lock such as # e98891. Weave the cable lock through and around the bikes and through the safety chain loops on the trailer hitch for even more security.

  • Thule Roof Bike Rack Recommendation for an Audi Q5 with Factory Roof Rack
  • The roof mounted bike rack that I would recommend for your Audi Q5 is the Thule UpRide Wheel-Mount Bike Rack, # TH599000 because it does not require you to remove your front wheel like most other roof bike racks and Thule makes some of the best quality bike racks in the industry. According to Thule, this bike rack will fit on the factory roof rack of the Audi Q5 without the need for an additional adapter. I have attached the installation instructions for you to check out as well as a...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Audi Q5
  • For your 2013 Audi Q5 we have hitches like the Draw Tite part # 75940 which is a confirmed fit. If you plan to tow a trailer you will want trailer wiring though. For that you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # 119250KIT which will install without any cutting or splicing. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes...

  • Will Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Kit for Audi Q5 Allow Computer to Know Trailer is Connected
  • The trailer wiring harnesses we offer for your 2015 Audi Q5 like the ZCI part # 119250KIT will not make the changes to the transmission, engine, and parking sensors. Reason being that your vehicle won't "know" that this kit is installed so the computer won't make the changes. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2018 Q5 for you to check out as well.

  • Can Friction Sway Bar Be Used on Vehicle Thats Not Rated for Weight Distribution System
  • A standalone friction sway bar like the Curt # 17200 that you referenced is an excellent sway control alternative for vehicles like your 2018 Audi Q5 that aren't rated for a weight distribution system. You are correct that a full weight distribution system isn't recommended for use on this vehicle because the frame and hitch simply aren't able to withstand the type of force that one creates. A friction sway bar like the above-mentioned Curt unit on the other hand will not put nearly the...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2019 Audi Q5
  • For your 2019 Audi Q5 I highly recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Trailer Hitch # 76183 because it offers slightly better ground clearance than the alternatives (you don't have to worry about your bike rack hitting the ground when backing out of the driveway) and the 2" receiver isn't quite as tucked back behind the rear bumper as the others, which offers easier access to the hitch pin hole for mounting the rack. The Class III hitch provides plenty of capacity for a bike rack...
