Expert Answers about Audi A5


  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2014 Audi A5 With Single Muffler
  • While we do have a trailer hitch receiver that fits a 2014 Audi A5, the one you referred to is not a fit for single muffler. For your Audi with a single muffler, the only hitch that fits is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11037. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and will only fit the single muffler A5. I have added a link to the installation instructions as well as a link to a video install for you to check out of the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11037.

  • Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For 2019 Audi A5 Sportback Prestige
  • Yes, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDA5S518 is the correct receiver for your 2019 Audi A5 Sportback Prestige. I have linked a video below of the installation done on a 2018 S5 Sportback which is very similar to your A5. If you are planning on doing any trailer towing you will need the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391AUDA5S518T that includes their ball mount and wiring for installation on your A5.

  • Will Installing The Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2021 Audi A5 Void The Warranty?
  • Installing the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391AUDA5S518T on your 2021 Audi A5 will not void your manufacturers warranty. The only way you would void the warranty is if you used the receiver to exceed manufacturer specifications. For instance Stealth Hitches is rated for up to 350lbs of tongue weight and a trailer up to 3,500lbs. If the towing capacity on your A5 is only 3,000lbs(check with your dealer for exact capacity) and you pushed it to 3,500lbs because...

  • Thule 589 Velo Vise Compatability with Audi Base Carrier Bars
  • I got in touch with Thule, and they stated that the Thule 589 Velo Vise on its own will only work with square bars like you mentioned. The Thule Bike Square Bar Adapter you mentioned would only be needed if you had square bars that you needed to use with a bike rack that wasn't made for square bars. To make your Thule 589 Velo Vise work for your 2018 Audi A5, you could also just use a roof rack with square bars to avoid having to use other adapter accessories. I recommend the Thule SquareBar...

  • Is There a Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2015 Audi A5 Cabriolet
  • I do have an option to carry bikes on a 2015 Audi A5 Cabriolet but a trunk mount bike rack won't work due to the design of the vehicle. Instead, you will need to install a trailer hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11188 (Dual Exhaust Only Models) is what I recommend. This will then allow you to use a hitch mount bike rack such as one from the list below.

  • Fit of Curt Class I Receiver # C11188 on 2013 Audi A5
  • The Curt Class I # C11188 hitch will fit the 2013 Audi A5, unless it is a 2.0T turbo or single muffler-equipped models. If your A5 has a single muffler, use part # C11037. The warranty stipulations of both hitches state that a stabilization strap like part # 18050 must be used for any non-trailer load like a bike rack or cargo carrier.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Audi A5 S5 Cabriolet with Dual Exhaust
  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11188 will fit your 2015 Audi A5 S5 Cabriolet with dual exhaust. You will however need to obtain both a T55 and T25 torx bit for installation but these are easily attainable at you local auto parts store if you do not already have them. The hitch is a custom fit that will not require any drilling as it installs using pre-drilled holes in the frame rail. If you can tell me what you will be using the hitch for I would be glad to offer some additional...

  • Does the Saris Bones 2 Trunk Bike Rack Fit a 2014 Audi A5 Sportback or What Option is There
  • Happy New Year! I have an alternate option, but unfortunately the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL is not a fit for the Sportback version of the 2014 Audi A5 and we do not have a trunk mount style that is compatible. While it is not the solution you were hoping for, the best option would be to add a hitch to your A5 and use a hitch mounted bike rack. The correct hitch depends on if you have a single or dual muffler. Single Muffler: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11037 Dual Muffler: -...

  • Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack on a 2019 Audi A5
  • To use your Kuat NV 2.0, part # NV22G, with your 2019 Audi A5, you can indeed use the Curt Hitch, part # C11448, with the Brophy Adapter, part # HT5R. I've linked to a video installation of the hitch and video review of the adapter. There is one thing that you need to keep in mind, though. When using an adapter like this, the hitch's capacity (both trailer weight and tongue weight) is cut in half. So, even though this hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds, the adapter will...

  • Hitch Receiver for Bike Rack on 2018 Audi A5 Convertible
  • There are some great options for using a bike rack with your 2018 Audi A5 Convertible, but the Curt # C11448 is only meant for use with coupe or sportback models, so it is not compatible with your vehicle. The best option for a hitch for your A5 Convertible is Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDA5S518. Note this option is not meant for trailer towing. Stealth Hitches does have an option for towing trailers, # 391AUDA5S518T, if you think you will need that capability down the line....

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2015 Audi A5 Cabriolet
  • The Thule Camber # TH9058 is a great bike rack that should fit just fine on your 2015 Audi A5 Cabriolet with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11188 installed. To add locks to the Camber you will need the Snug Tite # THSTL2 and the Cable Lock # TH538XT. If you have any bikes with a step-through frame you will also need the Adapter Bar # TH982XT to allow it to hang level. A bike rack that I highly recommend, even over the Thule Camber is the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA12B because it will provide...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2014 Audi A5
  • For a 2014 Audi A5 I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter w/ 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector and Install Kit Item # C56190KIT. This kit will come with everything you need to wire in a 4-pole connector and transfer your tail light signals to the trailer or hitch accessory lights you're hauling. If you don't feel comfortable splicing into wiring and using butt connectors then we also carry the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation...

  • Trailer Hitch Mounted Platform Rack for an Audi 2018 A5 Sportback
  • The short answer is yes, but you may have issues if you are going to places with steep inclines. If you install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C11448 onto your 2018 Audi A5, your clearance will drop just a little to about 3-1/4 inches. This is where the bottom of your Thule T2 XTB TH9035XT will ride. From there, your actual tray will be approximately 11-1/8 inches off of the ground, which may cut it close on steeper inclines, but completely useable on normal roads.

  • Is the Curt # C11188 Trailer Hitch Confirmed to Fit a 2014 Audi A5 Quattro S with Dual Exhaust
  • Yes, the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # C11188, is the confirmed fit for your 2014 Audi A5 Quattro S with dual exhaust. The Curt hitch is designed to be custom-fit and bolt on to your Audi A5. On all non-trailer applications Curt does require the use of a stabilizing strap, like # 18050, to be used to secure the hitch accessory. Failure to do so will void the hitch warranty.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Audi A5 Sportback
  • I checked with Curt and they list trailer hitch # C11448 as a fit for the 2018 Audi A5 Sportback Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige models. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer...
