The most hidden hitch we offer for your 2016 Audi Q5 is going to be the Draw Tite part # 75940 which has a hidden cross tube and requires a hole to be trimmed in the lower fascia for the hitch to come through. The other aftermarket hitches will all sit below the rear fascia and will be clearly visible.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # 119250KIT.
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.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
