Actually there is an adapter from Curt # C51522 that you can use to plug the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 directly into your 2011 Audi Q7 if it has the factory 7-Way. You will need to cut the one end off of the adapter and splice the pigtail that comes with the P3 to the adapter (per color) for this to work.

If you don't have the factory 7-Way then you will need to run to your local dealer to get parts #1J0-972-782 and #000-979-228 to basically make an adapter (see attached article).

I am attaching some photos of the installation instructions from Curt for you to check out.

We have run into this quite a few times in the past, and the best option will be replacing the Lance 7-pin connector with a standard 7-way blade connector like the #PK12706. This will give you a standard 7-way connector to plug into the factory 7-way…

Either way is correct. It depends on if you want to keep the semi-style 7-Way (if you need to tow that type of trailer) or if you will never be towing a semi-trailer. If you need to keep the 7-Way semi active on the truck, then you would need to make…
