Expert Answers about Audi A4


  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Audi A4
  • For your 2016 Audi A4 I recommend Draw-Titehitch # DT24950. This is a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. 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 for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.

  • Roof Rack and Stand Up Paddleboard Carrier for a 2008 Audi A4
  • One of the better kits we have for SUP boards are the aero-style crossbars. These assist in carrying Stand Up Paddleboards by being aerodynamic themselves, and their wider bases providing more stability for the boards. I recommend the Thule AeroBlade Traverse kit, consisting of: Thule WingBars, 47 inches, Silver, part # TH711200 or Black, TH711220 Thule Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, part # TH480R Thule Fit Kit, part # THKIT1212 Thule is compatible with a wide range of accessories and also...

  • 2009 Audi A4 Convertible Bike Rack Recommendation
  • The only solution I have for your 2009 Audi A4 convertible to carry bikes is to use the Saris Guardian part # SAR93FR which is a confirmed fit. None of the trailer hitches we offer will fit the convertible models. I attached a review video for the trunk rack for you to check out. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your...

  • 7-Way Round to 4-Way Flat Adapter Recommendation
  • As long as the 7-way round you have on your trailer is wired so that the stop/turn circuits are on the same circuits the # 47405 would be perfect for what you are trying to do. If the 7-way you have is a Euro style that has separate taillight circuits then you would need to make an adapter, but I doubt this is this case. If your 7-way is wired like the diagram I attached you would be good to go.

  • Recommended Trailer Roof Vent With Low Profile
  • The trailer roof vent I recommend is the Fan-Tastic Vent # FV802250. When closed, it extends merely 4-1/2" above your roof. The fan has a 12V motor and it will fit trailers with roofs that are up to 4" thick, requiring only a 14-1/2" x 14-1/2" opening. I've left a video review of this product for you to take a look at.

  • For your tire size of 245/35ZR19 I'd recommend the Konig tire chains part # TH01221102. These are Class S compatible so they will fit well with 13.5 mm of clearance, would install easily, and will provide you great traction.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Audi A4 Avant Wagon
  • The weight of the bikes and rack on the rear of your 2004 Audi A4 will be mainly on the lower mounting pad of the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. There would not be any undue pressure on the rear glass that might damage it. The Raceway is the nicest rack we offer and would be the one we recommend the highest. There are no trunk racks that allow the rear wipers to work with the rack installed. A hitch mounted option might be your best option if that's important. This wouldn't touch your rear glass...

  • Best ST235/80-16 Tires for a 5th Wheel Trailer
  • The best 235/80-16 trailer tire we have for you is the Provider Radial Trailer Tire part # PRG80235. This tire has a 14 ply and load range G rating which is good for up to 4,080 lbs (per wheel). It has a maximum speed of 81 mph and comes with a two year warranty. The reason I recommend the Provider is because unlike most other trailer tire manufacturers, they bake test all of their tires which increases longevity. I have attached a review video for you as well.

  • We have just what you need. For a 7-way to 4-way adapter you would want the part # PK12716. This will plug into the female connector on your vehicle and will provide you with a 4-way connector for the trailer. I attached a review video for more info for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier For 2008 Audi A4
  • One of the nicest racks we offer that I recommend is the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack, part # TH45JV. This rack differs from most racks because it uses 2 rubber coated straps to secure the carrier to the vehicle versus 6 on most racks. This carrier uses the OneKey system to lock both the rack and the bikes to deter theft. If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between...

  • Trailer Hitch and E-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Audi A4
  • For your 2017 Audi A4 we have the Draw Tite hitch part # DT24950 that would work great for carrying E-bikes like what you have. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. The only E-bike rack we offer that fits a Class I hitch like the Draw Tite your vehicle needs is the Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 which will work great. It has more capacity than you'll need and comes with a ramp to make loading and unloading your heavier bikes easier. I attached a review...

  • SportRack 18 Cubic Foot Cargo Box And Compatible Roof Rack for 2013 Audi A4
  • The SportRack SkyLine XL Roof Mounted Cargo Box you mentioned is no longer available, and that particular box was only compatible with roof racks that have a 21-1/2 inch crossbar spread, it doesn't have enough adjustability. All the roof racks we offer for your A4 have a bar spread (distance between front and rear crossbar) between 27-30 inches. This being said, SportRack offers a box with the same capacity, the Vista XL, part # SR7018. This box is compatible with bar spreads of 25-7/8,...

  • Recommended Hitch Adapter For 5 Inch Rise On Class I Hitch Receiver
  • For your 2016 Audi A4, I recommend the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise # HT5R. This will give you the additional ground clearance you need but will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50%. You will also need to use the 2 inch adapter on your bike rack.

  • Adapter to Raise Yakima Bike Rack for Better Ground Clearance on a 2011 Audi A4 Avant Wagon
  • Curt trailer hitch # C11195 sits right under the bottom of the rear fascia on your 2011 Audi A4. This is likely about the same as your current trailer hitch so it would likely not be any better in terms of ground clearance. If your Yakima bike rack is the type that will fit 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch receivers you could use adapter # HT5R. However, using an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. The combined weight of the bike rack and the bikes cannot...
