Installing the EcoHitch Hidden Hitch onto the 2013 Audi Allroad

Question

Question:

Hi! Im considering purchasing this hitch for bike rack use only on my Audi allroad. Can you tell me any more about the installation? I would guess the bumper would need to come off. Any cutting/drilling involved? Is there a step by step instruction for my specific vehicle? I didnt see a video posted for this vehicle specifically. Thanks!

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.
