Nope, the warranty on your 2018 Audi SQ5 will absolutely not be voided if you add the Tekonsha trailer wiring harness you asked about:
- ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT
Your vehicle is protected by the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. This act says if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever you have added to your vehicle... view full answer...
I suggest the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack, # Y02114. This wheel-mount carrier lets you transport 1 bike on your roof rack crossbars. Pivoting wheel hoops hold bike by the front wheel, and TorqueRight knob prevents over-tightening. Rear-wheel cradle adjusts to hold bikes of different lengths. view full answer...
We do have a variety of wind fairings that you may be able to use with the OEM roof rack on your 2014 Audi SQ5. I like the Thule AirScreen Fairings which are compatible with aero bars that are a max of 3-1/4" long x 1-1/8" tall or square bars that are a max of 1-3/8" long x 1" tall. These come in the following sizes:
32" - # TH62WV
38" - # TH72WV
44" - # TH82WV
52" - # TH22WV
Simply choose the length that will best fit between the roof rack legs on your Audi. view full answer...
There are 4-board snowboard racks which will fit your 2014 Audi SQ5, though I checked with Inno and the Inno Gravity INA927 will not.
I recommend the Yakima FreshTrack # Y03093, which is confirmed to fit your '14 Audi, will hold 4 snowboards, has a push-button design which makes it easy to open and also locks, allowing you to protect both your snowboards and the rack.
I have added a link to a video review of this carrier for you to take a look at as well. view full answer...
If you do not currently have the factory trailer connector then Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - 2" Ball # 391CONVD5 is an excellent kit for you. This is meant to be used with Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 391AUDQ518 which is also confirmed to fit your 2020 Audi SQ5. The # 391AUDQ518 receiver itself takes approximately 2 hours to install according to the instructions. I have attached an installation video for... view full answer...
The reason the Curt # C13331 does not fit on the Audi SQ5 is because of issues with the fascia being different between the Q5 and SQ5; other manufacturers have been able to make their hitches compatible on both, but Curt was not able to address this in their manufacturing. The issue actually stems from what is behind the bumper and under the fascia, and the differences between the Q5 and SQ5 models.
For that reason, you will need to go with something like the EcoHitch # 306-X7397, which... view full answer...
Hello Andrew, great question. I will start by saying that with our videos, generally you can assume that the tires and suspension are stock when we are measuring the hitch clearance. Although, we do not have the tire size or suspension type noted anywhere specifically.
In the case of the EcoHitch # 306-X7397 and the Curt # C98JR (13499) both will have the exact same 15" ground clearance on a 2021 Audi SQ5. The Curt has a slightly longer receiver, so it does have a slight edge as far as... view full answer...
We haven't had the opportunity to make a video of the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75940 on a 2017 Audi SQ5 like yours as of yet. However, since the hitch fits both the 2017 and 2016, the installation will be very similar. I've linked a video of the hitch being installed onto a 2016 Q5.
If you also need a 4-way wiring harness the correct part is # C56404. view full answer...
You will see the crossbars with the panoramic sunroof on your 2024 Audi SQ5 but it will not interfere with its functionality. For the complete roof rack you will need the following:
-Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 47" Long - Qty 2 # TH711220 (black) or # TH711200 (silver)
-Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 # TH710601

The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75940 weighs 44 lbs. It is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Audi SQ5 Prestige. I've attached a video of the installation as well as the installation details to assist. view full answer...
We have just what you need!
The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer hitch receiver # 391AUDQ518 you were looking at for your 2018 Audi SQ5 is not rated for towing and is only rated for carrying accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. Using it to tow will void the warranty of the hitch.
Since you do not need all of the wiring for towing your 17' boat then you can just purchase the Ball Mount for Stealth Hitches Hidden Receiver Hitch # 391BMU7S which can be used in place of the receiver... view full answer...
The SportRack SkyLine XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount # SR29ZR that you mentioned will work just fine with your 2018 Audi SQ5!
This cargo carrier will work with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars.
For a crossbar recommendation, I recommend taking a look at the:
-Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum # TH711200, with the feet # TH710601, and the fit kit # TH186045.
These bars are quiet, aerodynamic, low-profile with a maximum capacity of 220-lbs, and measures 47"... view full answer...
I have a solution for you, however, the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch, # 75940, will not work on the 2018 Audi SQ5.
The Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Trailer Receiver Hitch, # 76183, is the confirmed hitch for the 2018 Audi SQ5. This Draw-Tite hitch is designed to fit your Audi with no drilling required to install on the frame of the vehicle. This hitch has a 2 x 2 inch receiver opening and has a 750 lbs tongue weight capacity.
Installation of the this hitch will require the temporary... view full answer...
You can install Draw-Tite hitch # 76183 on your 2018 Audi SQ5 with only minor trimming of the rear fascia. If you refer to the linked photo taken from the included instructions you'll see the small 2 x 3-1/2-inch notch to be made. Just take care that you avoid cutting the wiring behind it. I also include a link to a video for a Q5 installation which will be very similar overall. view full answer...
The Curt # C13136 is for the Audi Q5 but isn't a fit for the SQ5 like you have. You're correct that the Draw-Tite, part # 75940, is what you need. It's confirmed to fit your 2015 Audi SQ5. I've attached a picture that a customer submitted of the htich on an SQ5 for you. I've also linked an install video on a Q5 but the process is same.
The wiring I recommend is part # 119250KIT. I've linked a video of this install on a different Audi model but keep in mind it's a universal part, so... view full answer...
I do have an alternative trunk bike rack that will fit your 2019 Audi SQ5, but the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH78VR won't work.
Instead I recommend the Yakima FullBack # Y02633 which is a comparable rack to the Gateway Pro 3. It can carry up to 3 bikes (35 lbs per bike or 90 for all 3 bikes), it is super easy to adjust, and it actually comes with bike and rack locks. I actually had the opportunity to install this on a 2020 Q7 and I've linked that review video for you to check out.... view full answer...
Yes, the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75940 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Audi SQ5.

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 bag.

I would be happy to help you add a hitch, wiring harness, and brake controller to your 2022 Audi SQ5.
For the easiest all in one solution to your hitch and wiring harness, I recommend the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit item # 391AUDQ518T. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Audi with included hardware.
This kit includes the 7-way wiring harness you will need to control your trailer's brakes. The receiver is also completely removable when... view full answer...
I have a really easy to install Curt brake controller for your 2018 Audi SQ5 that is actually better performing and much more reliable than the Triflex with the Curt Echo part # C51180 which basically just installs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smart phone is ready to go without requiring any wiring. At this time we don't have a way to splice the Triflex into the factory tow package wiring of your vehicle. view full answer...
