In order to tow a trailer like the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer part # MPG535 with a 2006 Audi A6 you'll need the following:

Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11344
Curt Class II Drawbar part # C45521 (Required by Curt for Above Curt Trailer Hitch)
TowSmart 2" Hitch Ball part # TS54FR
Curt Class I and II Pin and Clip part # F-4
Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C59236

The Spare Tire for Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer part # MPG540 will then work just fine with the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer. If you don't already have a way to secure the kayaks, the Malone J-Pro2 Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs part # MPG117MD is what I'd use.
