Expert Answers about Audi Q7


  • Recommended Wireless Backup Camera System for 2020 Winnebago Micro Minnie
  • The Rear View Safety Wireless Backup Camera System part # RVS-2CAM is a great backup camera system for a 2020 Winnebago Micro Minnie but I really like the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System part # FOS05TASF. The Vision S allows you to add more cameras (up to three), has a much longer range, and has a much nicer mounting bracket. This is actually the same system most OEM's use for the factory backup camera system. If you want add cameras, you can use part # FCE48TASL and...

  • Troubleshooting Curt TriFlex Brake Controller Not Showing Activation
  • On your Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV, the decimal point as you put it is standby mode with no trailer connected. The blank screen is also standby mode and that screen is what is seen when simply starting the vehicle, but that screen should illuminate when you press the manual override or show the decimal point when you hit the brake pedal only while moving since it is a proportional controller. If it does not operate under those criteria, then you will need to have the...

  • Will Installing a Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring On a 2017 Audi Q7 Require Reprogramming Sensors?
  • Installing a hitch and wiring on your 2017 Audi Q7 will not require any reprogramming for your rear sensors. These sensors are detecting objects and if they are moved slightly it will not cause any malfunctions. Your camera is in the rear hatch so it will not be removed during the installation I recommend installing the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391AUDQ716T on your Q7. This will allow you to remove the 2" receiver or ball mount when not needed maintaining...

  • Yes, the Tekonsha Prodigy RF brake controller part # TK94FR that you referenced is a fit for your 2013 Audi Q7 with a factory 7-way as it can fit basically any vehicle with a functioning 7-way. Sometimes it is a challenge to get the controller to pair with German vehicles but here's some pointers for if you ran into any issues. First, If you do not see displayed what the instructions say just keep going through the steps. Sometimes, it will not display what it is supposed to but it will...

  • Will Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller Work on 2018 Audi Q7
  • As of this writing we have not had any reviews from customers who have used the Curt Echo # C51180 trailer brake controller with a 2018 Audi Q7 but there is no reason why it would not work due to sensors. The Echo uses a Bluetooth connection and thus far there have not been any reports of any type of interference; you are perfectly safe to use the Echo with your '18 Audi Q7. I have added links to video reviews of this brake controller for you to take a look at, as well as a link to the...

  • Easy to Install Brake Controller Recommendation for 2019 Audi Q7
  • Yes, the P3 brake controller part # 90195 installs in your 2019 Audi Q7 with a factory 7-way the same way it would in a 2018 which I attached a tech bulletin for. That said I have a MUCH easier option I think you'd prefer with the Curt Echo part # C51180. Since your vehicle has a factory 7-way already all you have to do is plug this into it, sync it to your smart phone and you are on your way. No complicated install or special harnesses needed. This controller is also proportional like...

  • Will Curt Echo Wireless Trailer C51180 Work In 2013 Audi Q7 W/ Factory 7-way Connector
  • Yes, a trailer brake controller like the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 is what you need to control the trailer brakes on your trailer, and is an awesome option as it plugs directly into the 7-way connector on your 2014 Audi Q7 so it will not require you to drill any holes in the dash of your vehicle to mount a traditional controller. I went ahead and included a video of the # C51180 being installed for you to take a look at.

  • 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...

  • Do Electric Trailer Brakes Require Brake Controller on 2018 Audi Q7
  • Your trailer's electric brakes will require a brake controller even though your 2018 Audi Q7 has the towing package. It is likely that you simply have the factory 7-way on your Audi and are set up to install a brake controller, though you need to verify this with your Audi dealer. Even if you do have the factory 7-way you still need additional wiring to add a brake controller; I strongly recommend reading the linked help article which details what you need and why. For the brake controller...

  • 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.

  • Hitch Pin Hole Depth of Curt Hitch for 2019 Audi Q7
  • In regards to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13277 for a 2019 Audi Q7, the distance from the collar to the center of the hitch pin is 2.14" and the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the receiver is 4.48" per Curt. Therefore, you will have no issue with the Thule Apex Swing XT Bike Rack for 4 Bikes part # TH9027XT.

  • Saris Freedom 4 Bike vs. Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack
  • The size and weight of 4 bikes is normally quite a lot to deal...especially if you want the convenience of a platform rack. The Saris Freedom part # SA4414B however is a great compromise as it is relatively lower weight and not nearly as large. It's only about 10 lbs heavier than the Thule Apex part # TH9025XT and since you want solid support and ease of use overall the Saris is the way to go.

  • Troubleshooting No Power To Curt Echo When Connecting To 7-Way On a 2021 Audi Q7
  • Your 2021 Audi Q7 is going to have a smart wiring system. For the Curt Echo # C51180 to function properly and receive power you will need to connect your trailer 7-way to the Echo once you plug into the connector on your Audi. The computer in your Audi wants to see a full trailer connection before it will send power to the 12 volt circuit that powers the Echo. Your Audi will also have a trailer tow mode that should also be selected while you are towing.

  • Replacement Option For Thule Helium TH971XT With Discontinued Shank
  • Thank you so much for the photo it was really helpful, and based off of that what you have is the Thule Helium TH971XT. I checked with Thule directly regarding a replacement shank, but it has been discontinued for some time. While I know it's not the news you were wanting to hear, the best option we can offer is a replacement with the newest version of the Helium 3-bike rack: - Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH9043PRO This is the newest version of the Helium rack, and will be an upgrade...

  • Storage Cover Recommendation for a 7 Foot Wide by 12 Foot Long by 6 Foot Tall Enclosed Trailer
  • A better fit would be Classic Accessories PolyPro III Deluxe Travel Trailer Cover, # 052963731637, designed for a trailer up to 20 feet long and up to 118 inches tall. It is definitely tall enough and long enough. There will be some slack given the size of your trailer versus the size of this cover but it will cover it. The Classic Accessories cover, # CA80103, that you have referenced is made for a Class B motor home that has a front end that sticks out in the front. Because of the shape...
