There is quite a bit involved in the installation of the EcoHitch Hidden Hitch, part # 306-X7324.
There is no drilling involved, though you will need to trim the underbody and of the vehicle during the installation process. In total, you'll remove the tail light assembly panels, the bumper and the exhaust carrier when installing this hitch.
I strongly recommend getting assistance with this install because of the number of individual techniques and steps involved in installing it. view full answer...
Your 2008 Audi A4 sedan has a Class I hitch receiver available in the Curt # 11164. For a Class I hitch, we have 3 adapters available, but you will want to make sure you stay within the capacity of your hitch receiver and using an adapter like this will cut your tongue weight capacity by 50%.
Here are the adapter options I recommend that are compatible with a Class I hitch receiver:
Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD. This adapter measures 7-1/4 inches from pin... view full answer...
Since all of the hitches for your 2013 Audi Allroad are Class I hitches like the # C11195, which means they are very light-duty, you would be limited to carrying only two bikes with the vehicle. We do have great two-bike options that prevent all contact between the bikes when travelling.
My favorite option is the Thule T2 Classic 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches, part # TH9045. This compatible rack only touches your bikes at the tires and keeps the two totally separate. Also, this... view full answer...
I do have an option for you, however we do not currently offer a 2 inch receiver hitch for your 2016 Audi Allroad. This is most likely because the weight capacities of this vehicle are limited to what a Class I, 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch will provide.
For your 2016 Audi Allroad, we do have the Curt Class I Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C11195. This hitch is custom fit for your vehicle and will not require any drilling during installation. This will provide a 200 pound tongue weight and 2,000... view full answer...
We have a similar hitch that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Audi Allroad with the EcoHitch part # 306-X7324 but just because a customer was able to fit the # DT24950 on a 2018 Allroad does not mean it would work on yours as it hasn't been tested. view full answer...
I checked with Yakima and the roof rack # Y00425 and # Y33TR installed on your 2014 Audi Allroad you would not be able to open the roof. You should note that even if you could open the sunroof it wouldn't be advised as the wind noise would be quiet loud from the roof rack. view full answer...
Curt recommends the use of a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 when using any non-supported hitch accessories like a bike rack with the Curt Hitch # C11195 that is recommended for your 2014 Audi Allroad.
I attached installation instructions for the hitch and a demo video for the strap for you to check out also. view full answer...
For your Raptor bike rack you'd need the Universal MightyMounts part # Y8880054 to allow the bike rack to fit the wider aero bars you have now. view full answer...
Your best bet would be to use a universal harness like part # 119250KIT. Installation would involve looking at the table listed in Step 1 of the instructions (see link) and determining which of the 6 possibilities matches the taillight system on your Audi. You'll need a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to probe the wires in the taillight wiring harnesses to determine which wires carry which signal. Once you determine which possibility matches your vehicle, wire the harness according to... view full answer...
Yes, for your 2016 Audi Allroad I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C11195. This is a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver.
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 load... view full answer...
The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7324 which is a fit for a 2015 Audi Allroad is rated for 300 lbs of tongue weight which is the downward force on the receiver tube and 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight which is how much the trailer hitch can pull. I cannot recommend that you exceed any of these figures. The total loaded weight of the trailer cannot exceed the gross trailer weight of the hitch or vehicle, whichever is lower.
Therefore you will need to adjust the weight... view full answer...
To pick out a fairing you need to measure the distance between the feet of the roof rack and go with one that fits the best between them.
Below are the available sizes we offer that are for Thule bars and can fit other crossbars:
# TH62WV for a 32 inch fairing, # TH72WV for a 38 inch fairing, # TH82WV for a 44 inch fairing, # TH22WV for a 52 inch fairing. view full answer...
For your 2014 Audi Allroad B8.5, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11195 which is a confirmed fit. Then you will need a ball mount like # C45521 and Pin and Clip # F-4.
Then you'll need a hitch ball. I recommend # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch diameter hitch ball to match your trailer coupler.
For your wiring, I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. This will allow... view full answer...
For the absolute best option that will give you superior traction and less risk of internal wheel well damage on your 245/45-18 tires, I recommend the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Easy Fit CU9 # TH04115104. These chains are very high quality and come with all the bells and whistles. It has a built-in pedal to activate center tensioning element to not only give you ease but it also helps save your back from bending over or squatting while you install... view full answer...
The Thule components needed for an Wingbar Evo roof rack for your 2023 Audi Q5 are part # TH711300, # TH710601, # TH186045. The parts from your 2015 AllRoad are part # TH711220 and # TH710401 which would indicate you'll need an all new rack setup most likely but your slightly shorter bars most likely would work although it's not recommended length.
So there's a good chance all you need is the part # TH710601 and # TH186045. view full answer...
For all Class I Hitches available for your 2016 Audi Allroad like the Curt Custom Hitch, part # C11195, the design of the hitch and its mounting location, even as a 2 inch variant, is designed to carry weight without support in a certain zone behind the car.
The hitch works effectively like a pivoting lever, with the weight of the bikes acting as the downward force on the lever. Too much weight, or too much weight outside of its safe zone, and the lever breaks. In this case, that means... view full answer...
That's actually by design. Thule doesn't want you forgetting that the box is unlocked and then accidentally drive off and have the lid fly open and the contents go everywhere! view full answer...
For your 2013 Audi Allroad the EcoHitch part # 306-X7324 that you referenced is a confirmed fit and would work great for carrying a bike rack designed for a 2 inch hitch. view full answer...
There isn't a specific trailer wiring harness listed for a 2014 Audi Allroad so I checked with Curt to see what they recommend. They list the vehicle as having a 3-wire system (the turn signals are on different bulbs than the brake lights) so you can use # C59236 to add wiring to the vehicle. view full answer...
