Expert Answers about Audi Q3
- Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Audi Q3
- For your 2016 Audi Q3 I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C13238. This is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver rated for 525 pounds tongue weight and 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.
To add a trailer connector I recommend # C59236 which will provide a 4-Way flat connector at the rear of the vehicle.

- I recommend going with the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # Y02634 for your 2021 Audi Q3 because it's one of the nicer trunk mount racks that we carry. It's a lot easier to adjust and install than most others due to the 4 straps and fit dial system. This also comes with a bike lock and a strap with a steel cable that sits inside your trunk to help deter theft.
Please note that if either of your bikes lacks a horizontal top tube then you'll need an adapter bar like part # Y02531...

- The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # 391AUDQ319 is my recommendation for a 2019 Audi Q3. It has a removable receiver tube for a completely hidden install while not in use and a 2" opening so there are plenty of bike racks to choose from. I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part # TH903202 as the best electric bike rack option due to the integrated ramp for loading and wheels for help to and from the vehicle.

- We have the Roadmaster High Low Adapter part # RM-076 which will give a 2 inch hitch like the # C13238 you mentioned a 6 inch raise to help with ground clearance. You'd need to note that this adapter cuts the capacity of the hitch it is installed in by 50 percent.

view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Audi Q3
- The issue is that the sunroof of your 2017 Audi Q3 tilts up a bit when it opens which would interfere with a roof rack. The other thing too is that roof racks and open sunroofs are very noisy. If you were to open it with the rack installed (if it were possible) the amount of noise created would make you want to close it anyway. Best option is to install and remove the rack as needed.
The roof rack that creates the least amount of wind noise is the Thule WingBar roof rack part numbers...

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for 2016 Audi Q3 to Carry Thule Easy Fold Bike Rack
- I recommend using the Curt # C13238 which will give you a 2" receiver capable of carrying your Thule Easy Fold # TH903202. Curt hitches have a nice, durable powder coating so this hitch will stand up better to nicks and scratches than some other hitches so it's a great option that won't break the bank.
I've linked a review and installation video of this hitch for you to check out, as well.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for Use with a Bike Carrier for a 2015 Audi Q3
- Most spoilers at the tops of SUVs and CUVs are not rated to support any weight or tension. But, Curt is the only manufacturer that would require that strap. Draw-Tite hitch # 75218 does not have that requirement so I would go with it and not worry about the strap on your 2015 Audi Q3.
I have included a link to all of the bike carriers we have that fit 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. The most popular option is the Hitching Post Pro, # TH934XTR. I have included a link to a video review for you.

- The ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT is a great option if you don't want to splice into your factory wiring. This harness allows you to capture the wire electrical signals with zero contact interface sensors. The kit comes with a circuit tester so you don't need # PTW2993 but that is definitely a better option. You mechanic should have a better circuit tester than the one that comes in the kit, but that one...

- Trailer hitches and vehicles have their own tongue weight and gross trailer weight capacities. As such you must go by whichever is lower. Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75218 is rated for 450 pounds tongue weight so a combined weight of 350 pounds is no problem for the hitch.
It looks like the tongue weight capacity of your 2016 Audi Q3 is 400 to 440 pounds. Consult the vehicle owner's manual to confirm. If the vehicle tongue weight capacity is lower than the hitch then you go by the vehicle...

view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for Factory Look on 2021 Audi Q3 for Hitch Mounted Bike Rack
- You are correct, the Draw-Tite # DT68MR has a visible cross tube so you will see it once installed on your 2021 Audi Q3. In order to maintain a factory look, I recommend the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319. This hitch as a hidden cross tube so you will only see the receiver hanging down on your Audi. The receiver also detaches when not in use so the hitch will not be seen at all. This has a 600 lb tongue weight capacity for your bike rack.
The only downside to this hitch...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for 2018 Audi Q3 that Doesn't Require Hitch Adapter
- If you use a hitch adapter to change hitch size from 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch the result is that the hitch loses 50 percent of it's tongue weight capacity due to added leverage and movement. Instead the better option would be to go with a 2 inch hitch that fits your 2018 Audi Q3 like the part # C13238 which would not require an adapter.

view full answer... - Recommended Cargo Hatch Bag for Use with or without Roof Rack
- The Rightline Gear Cargo Hatch Saddlebag - Waterproof - 13 cu ft - 40" x 20" x 28" # RL100B90 will attach to a roof rack, but it is also able to be used without one using the Car Clips for Rightline Cargo Hatch Saddlebag - Qty 2 # RL100605. If you choose to use the clips it will not change the roof rating capacity of your vehicle, so this may be helpful if you are already close to that capacity limit with other cargo.
I recommend using the Cable Lock for Rightline Cargo Bags - 35" Long...
