In order to tow a trailer like the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer part # MPG535 with a 2006 Audi A6 you'll need the following:
Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11344
Curt Class II Drawbar part # C45521 (Required by Curt for Above Curt Trailer Hitch)
TowSmart 2" Hitch Ball part # TS54FR
Curt Class I and II Pin and Clip part # F-4

The best option for your 2011 Audi A6 is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11344. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs and maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs. You will need to check your owner's manual to find what your A6 is capable of towing as well. You will be limited by whichever is lower, the hitch capacity or the towing capacity of your vehicle.
Since you will be doing some towing, I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with... view full answer...
For your 2016 Audi A6 we have the Curt hitch part # C11423 that is a confirmed fit and would work well for you.
For trailer wiring the best option is the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT which instead of requiring you to hardwire into your veicles trailer wiring uses sensors instead which makes for an easier, less-invasive install.
For a ball mount you'd want the # C45521 which is the recommended ball mount for this hitch. Then for a hitch ball part # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or part # A-80 for... view full answer...
I think the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV 3-bike rack is an excellent choice because this rack comes equipped with the locks that will lock your bike to your rack and your rack to your vehicle already included. It also has 4 ratcheting cables opposed to 6 nylon straps and premium cradle pads that absorb road shock and minimize vibration. The 4 cables instead of 6 straps will also make for easy setup on your 2005 Audi A6.
Here are some installation notes the OutWay comes with for... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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.

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... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
We do not have a trunk-mount bike carrier that is designed to work with your 2013 Audi A6 Wagon but I do have a solution that will work for you.
I recommend installing a trailer hitch like part # C11423. This is a Class l trailer hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Per Curt - All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from... view full answer...
We don't have that specific info but the Tow Ready wiring kit part # 119178KIT is a confirmed fit for your 2004 Audi A6. The best answer we have at this time is that you'll have to test the taillight circuits of the light to see if you can find the style of taillights and wire the # 119178KIT correctly.
If your vehicle has brake lights that are separate from the turn signals when you look at the rear of the vehicle the red wire gets ran to the dedicated stoplight circuit. view full answer...
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.

We do offer bike carrying options for as 2019 Audi A6, but unfortunately none of our vendors offer a trailer hitch for your vehicle at this time.
So, the remaining options are a trunk mount or a roof mounted rack, neither of which you were too thrilled about.
Between the two options, I'd be much more inclined to choose a roof mounted carrying option as the roof racks are custom designed to fit a given vehicle. Because of this, they fit tightly and won't move around possibly causing damage... view full answer...
We only have one hitch that's a confirmed fit for your 2014 Audi A6, the Curt part # C11423. This hitch does require fascia trimming though.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

The best roof rack I can recommend for your 2018 Audi A6 sedan is going to be the Thule WingBar Evo kit that uses the part numbers # TH711400, # TH710501, and # TH145083. The reasons I recommend this roof rack is because the crossbars are aero shaped which allows them to be super quiet, the rack is very easy to install, and the overall quality and design of the rack is excellent so the rack will fit and work well for a very long time.
I checked with Thule and with this rack installed the... view full answer...
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. view full answer...

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11344 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2005 Audi A6. 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. From the top of the mounting brackets where it will attach to the vehicle, to the bottom of the hitch receiver, there is a distance of right at 7-3/4... view full answer...
The nicest trunk mounted bike rack we offer that has been confirmed as a fit for both your 2009 Audi A6 and your 2009 Toyota Venza is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the protected straps also last longer.
This rack includes a system to lock both the rack and the bikes to the... view full answer...
I have to recommend using either a trunk bike rack or a roof mounted system as there is not a receiver available for your 2018 Audi A6 Premium or any A6 trim. I checked with every aftermarket manufacturer and noticed that Audi does not even make a factory receiver for the A6. The receiver you found only fit the 1999-2004 Audi A6's.
A trunk rack like the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH45JV will be the easiest way to carry 2 bikes up to 33lbs each with your A6. This rack has locks for... view full answer...
