Expert Answers about Audi Q5


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2014 Audi Q5 Hybrid
  • I recommend using the Curt # C13136 on your 2014 Audi Q5 Hybrid, which will provide you with a 2" hitch receiver that is well suited for towing a trailer. It looks like your Q5 hybrid has a 4400-lbs towing capacity, so you'll want to make sure that you stay under that to avoid damaging your vehicle, but this hitch will allow you to tow up to that capacity. Since you're going to be towing, you'll also need trailer wiring, a ball mount and hitch ball to complete your towing setup. For wiring...

  • So far so good but you need one more thing in order to install the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV with Adapter # C51515 in your 2017 Audi Q5. Now that you have the 4-way # 119250KIT installed you will need to add the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This is going to give you the 7-way connector, circuit breakers and rest of the hardware needed to complete your brake controller installation. I have added links to a pair of help articles for...

  • Most Affordable Trailer Hitch Receiver And Trailer Wiring Kit For 2020 Audi SQ5
  • The most affordable route is to install Trailer Hitch Receiver # e94CR for your hitch receiver then for a trailer wiring kit you can use Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59496. For a ball mount to slide into the receiver that will allow fitment to your trailer, I recommend looking into Curt Fusion Ball Mount for 2" Hitches 1-7/8" Ball # C45151 if your trailer coupler is 1-7/8" or TowSmart Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball # TS94FR if your trailer coupler...

  • Can the Thule UpRide Carry Childrens Bikes
  • The Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum # TH599000 can carry children's bikes with wheels as small as 20" in diameter; as long as the bike you're wanting to carry has that diameter tire or larger you'll be just fine. I'm not aware of a roof mounted bike carrier that will carry bikes with smaller than 20" tires, so if you've got a smaller tire on your children's bikes you may need to go with a trunk mounted carrier for that bike. I recommend...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way Wiring on a 2014 Audi Q5
  • While there are no plug and play type 7-Way connectors for your 2014 Audi Q5, we still have the parts you need to get a 7-Way installed so you can tow your trailer. To start off you need the 4-Way and for that I recommend going with the Tekonsha ZCI # 119250KIT. The ZCI uses special connectors that clip over your OEM wiring and prevent you from having to cut into any OEM wiring. Both options do require that a 12V power wire be run to your vehicle battery to power the trailer lights. From...

  • Are Rubber Adjusters Needed for Cable Tire Chains on a 2011 Audi Q5 with 235/55-19 Sized Tires
  • Cable chains, like the Titan Chain Cable Tire Chains part # TC2019, do not have any type of tightening built into them so rubber adjusters are almost always needed. For adjusters I recommend the Glacier Multi-Arm, part # PW103. I like the design with the metal ring in the middle because if one arm were to break you still have 5 other arms to keep the chains tight on your tires. The cable chains are for very limited use and really won't supply a lot of traction for you. If you plan to...

  • What Bike Rack with Ramp do You Recommend for My 2013 Audi Q5?
  • I have a great ramp solution for you. Unfortunately, the Swagman Current # S64678 does not have a compatible ramp that fits. It will, however, fit with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75940 when installed on your 2013 Audi Q5. With that being said, if you are looking for a ramp solution, a great alternative is the Yakima OnRamp - 2" Hitches # Y36FR. In addition to the integrated ramp, another advantage you receive with the OnRamp is the independently-adjustable...

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Device for 2013 Audi Q5 with Curt Cargo Basket
  • I recommend using the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061, which will do a great job of eliminating hitch rattle and help stabilize your accessory during travel. There are some locking hitch pins that also function as anti-rattle devices, but they're typically designed to work only with specific brands of items and have proprietary threading on the bolts so they're not a great choice to cover anything you might be towing. This is why I like the Quiet Hitch as a solution that covers pretty much...

  • Replacement Rubber Strip for Thule Crossbars on a 2012 Audi Q5
  • I have a solution for you but we do not carry the replacement rubber strips you referenced that came with the Thule factory crossbars on your 2012 Audi Q5. We do carry the replacement rubber strips for the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars item # TH711320. These Crossbars are Thule and fit your 2012 Audi Q5 so they should be similar if not the same as the ones that came from the dealership. We have three different options for crossbars that fit and they all have the same replacement rubber strip...

  • Parts Needed To Tow A Trailer With Brakes With A 2019 Audi Q5
  • Yes, they will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This 7-way will plug into the 4-pole wiring harness they already have for their lighting and will just require that they run the ground to the frame, run wire from the black wire to the battery with one of the included fuses, and run a wire from the blue wire to the brake controller. The yellow wire can just be taped off unless they want to hook up reverse lights. This kit includes regular butt connectors,...

  • Do you Sell 12x110mm Thru-Axel Adaptors for the Kuat Trio Roof Rack?
  • I may have a solution! I called Kuat, and they said that they did not have a thru-axel adaptor that would fit a 12x110mm. Although, great alternative to the Kuat Trio for an electric bike is the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack # Y02114. It has the weight compatibility you need for an electric bike without attaching at the wheel axel. In addition to the rack itself, you will need a few things: 1. Yakima CoreBar Crossbars # Y00421 2. RidgeLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y00145 3. RidgeClip...

  • 7-Pole to 5-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Adapter For Towing Boat Trailer With 2020 Audi Q5
  • We've got exactly what you need. You'll need a 7-way to 5-pole adapter like # A75TB. The adapter will pick up the signal from the reverse lamp pin of your 7-way and deliver it to the 5 pole connector on your boat trailer. When your Q5 is shifted into reverse, the lock-out solenoid on your hydraulic trailer brake coupler will close, preventing the brakes from actuating while you back the trailer.

  • Placing Boat Bunks for Maximum Contact with Boat with a Ribbed Hull
  • The Roller Bunk # DL21755 measures 3-1/2 inches across the wheels where your boat will be sitting. Also, the wheels pivot to help make contact with the bottom of the boat. Since you currently have vertical bunks you'll need the brackets # DL21762 to connect the bunks to your trailer. This will give you the option of adjusting the height and placement of the bunks which means you can decide where on your boat the wheels will make contact with the boat to put them in the best suitable...

  • Parts Needed to Add Brakes to a 3,000 lb Single Axle Trailer
  • I recommend using an electric-over-hydraulic braking system for your 2013 Audi Q5 and boat trailer. It uses less electrical wires on the trailer which is great since it will come in contact will water fairly frequently. The parts that you will need are: Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - # K2HR35D Bearing Kit - # BK2-100 Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - # 18SI-BLKIT HydraStar Marine EoH Actuator with Breakaway and 7-Way Harness - # HS381-9067 This is everything that you will need on your trailer...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2015 Audi Q5
  • Yes, that means the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # TH56BV is not going to work with your 2015 Audi Q5. Instead, you'd need to use something like the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 instead. This bike rack will also hold up to 3 bikes like the OutWay, is also a trunk mounted bike rack, and will fit your Audi.

  • Parts Needed to Install Prodigy P2 # 90885 Brake Controller in 2015 Audi Q5
  • Your 2015 Audi Q5 does not have a quick-connect under-dash connection port for a brake controller like the excellent Prodigy P2 # 90885, but that just means you'll do a wired installation. We offer a complete kit for brake controller installation in your Q5, part # ETBC7. This kit includes a 7-way trailer socket, wiring, connectors and everything you'll need to wire your P2. I have linked an article and video concerning installation of this kit. If you don't already have a working 4-pole...

  • Parts Needed for Thule Roof Rack to Fit 2018 Audi Q5
  • If you have at least 47" WingBar Evo bars, like part # TH711200 or # TH711220, then all you need to complete the roof rack system on your 2018 Audi Q5 is the Foot Pack # TH710601, and Fit Kit # TH186045. You might be able to get by with using slightly longer crossbars but since the opening on the underside of the WingBar crossbars doesn't run completely from one side to the other you won't be able to go with much longer bars.
