- Bike Rack Recommendation that Allows Trunk to Open with 2012 Audi A6
- You will not be able to open the trunk of your 2012 Audi A6 with a trunk rack like the Saris Bones part # SA805BL installed. The hinges aren't rated for the additional weight and the struts won't hold the trunk up either so it would come slamming down which would be dangerous, plus the clips that go over the trunk would get pinched as the trunk opens.
Only option is a hitch mounted bike rack which first requires a hitch like the part # C11423 to be installed.

- 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. I attached a picture that shows the hitch installed on a similar 2014 Audi A6 as well.
Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.

- The Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 7-, 5- and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design, # HM48470, can mount pretty much anywhere you want it to. The most common place is to the left (driver side) of the trailer hitch receiver opening. Based on the design of the trailer hitches for the 2009 Audi A6 Avant, if you were to install it on the bottom of the cross tubing of the hitch, it will be a little below the trailer hitch receiver opening. If this is too low, you can mount...

- Here in America, we always have lower towing capacities that the same vehicles in Europe. It has to do with the sue-happy legal climate we have over here, so they rate vehicles extremely cautiously over here.
For a hitch for your 2005 Audi A6 we have the Curt hitch part # C11344 which has towing capacities of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. You would need to go by the lowest capacity between your vehicle and the hitch as the overall capacity. I can't recommend you ever...
view full answer... - Can the Thule OutWay Be Used for One 40 Lb Bike on a 2016 Audi A6
- I do have an option for you but all trunk mounted bike racks like the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack part # TH65JV have a 33 lb per bike weight capacity. The cradles for each bike are only rated for 33 lbs so I cannot recommend you use it with a 40 lb bike.
If you cannot get the weight of your bike down to 35 lbs then your best option would be to place it on a hitch mounted bike rack, the Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Platform Rack part # KU64FR with a trailer hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch...

- For your 2008 Audi A6 I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. This carrier is rated for 33 pounds per bike.
I have an older version of this rack and it is by far the easiest trunk mount rack I have ever used. What makes it so easy are the 2 rubber coated straps it uses to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 straps like other carriers.
It also comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes. The arms of this carrier can move independently in and out, up and down to fit a wide variety...

- For your 2004 Audi A6, I recommend the Tekonsha Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit with 4-Pole Connector (Includes Tester) # 119178KIT. This wiring harness will convert your trailer lights to function correctly with the running light wire (brown) and the brake/turn signal (green for right/yellow for left) and of course your ground wire (white). I've attached an article to assist in routing that 12V power wire.

- What is the purpose for the trailer hitch on your 2018 Audi A6? If it is to tow a trailer then this is not something we can offer as they do not make a trailer hitch that is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Audi A6 which includes the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11423.
If the purpose of the trailer hitch was to carry bikes on a hitch mounted bike rack then you could use a trunk mount bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles w/ Spoilers part # HRF2-3...

- The lowest profile roof rack for a 2016 Audi A6 Sedan is the Inno Aero Crossbar System part # INXB100-108, part # INXS200, and part # INK412. This system sits about 3-1/2" to 4" from the roof to the top of the crossbar but it is hard to get exact measurements due to all the different roof shapes.
I have attached a photo of the Inno Aero Crossbar System installed on a different vehicle that way you can get a better feel for how tall it is.

We haven't had a chance to install this on your model vehicle, but I went out to the warehouse to take a measurement on the hitch that will allow you to see how far down this will hang beneath your Audi.

- It sounds to me like you are experiencing the hyperflashing phenomenon that can occur with LED lights. In this case I recommend wiring in load resistors, like part # ALEDRST1B, to the left turn, right turn, and running light circuits of your trailer. My suggestion is to wire these in right behind your taillights. On the left hand side, one for the left turn wire and one for the running light wire. For the right side you would do the same, one for the right turn wire and one for the running...

- For your 1998 Audi A6 the Curt hitch part # C11166 is a confirmed fit and would be the best option. This was custom designed to fit the frame of your vehicle and was designed with light towing in mind.
You'll also need trailer wiring too which the best option for that is the Tekonsha kit part # 119178KIT which has the most reliable converter box of the available kits. Then for a ball mount you'd want the part # C45521 with hitch balls # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or part # A-80 for a 1-7/8...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2008 Mini Cooper and 1999 Audi A6
- The best option for you is going to be the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top Rack # HRF2. This rack has an upper arm piece that will lift the top straps over that spoiler on your 2008 Mini Cooper so they are not touching it.
The rack possibly denting the bumper of your vehicles is a possibility with any trunk mount rack and vehicle. The lighter the bikes the less likely it is to happen. I own a trunk mount rack that holds three bikes and my vehicle has a plastic bumper and I have not had any...
view full answer... - Recommendation for 1-1/4 Inch Ball Mount with 8 Inch Rise
- Based on the measurements you took on your trailer hitch and trailer coupler, you will technically need a ball mount that features a rise of around 8-1/2 inches for a completely level setup. Between the two ball mount options you mentioned, the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45014 will be the better option, as it provides a greater 5 inch rise.
The highest rise ball mount we currently have available that will be compatible with your existing 1-1/4 inch Curt trailer hitch receiver is the Curt...

- We have a similar trunk rack that does fit both of your vehicles with the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634 which includes locks for the bikes and the rack but the Thule OutWay # TH45JV does not fit the BMW you have so it would not be the trunk rack for you.
