  • Recommended Hitch for a 2021 Audi Q3 S-Line
  • I have a great hitch for you but the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT68MR will not fit the 2021 Audi Q3 S-Line's regardless of whether or not they have the hands free lift gate feature. Instead you will want one of the Stealth Hitches and depending on what you are using the hitch for will determine which one you need. One is for only using accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers and the other can be used for accessories but also includes a ball mount and wiring kit for towing....

  • Solution for Reverse Lockout on Demco DA70 Actuator
  • The # DM5939 is only compatible with the DA91 like the # DM8759131. Unfortunately, there is no option for manual lockout on a DA70 like the # # DM72VR. There are two ways you can keep your brakes from locking up with this brake actuator. The first is to add a solenoid like the # DM11993. The other option you have is to switch out the brakes on your trailer with free backing brakes like # AKFBBRK-35-D. These brakes won't engage in reverse so there would be no need to add a lockout to your...

  • Difference Between Tow Ready # 20142 and Curt # C57003 Adapters with Lamp-Out Sensors
  • If you will be towing a trailer with LED lights then you will likely need to use an adapter with a lamp-out sensor like the Tow Ready # 20142 or Curt # C57003 that you referenced. Both of these adapters will accomplish the same task; plugging into an existing 7-Way on your Audi and providing a new 7-Way that is able to recognize the LED trailer lights. The only difference between the two items is the bracket/housing and the wire extension on the Curt # C57003. If you don't need this and...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2024 Audi Q3 To Carry a Bike Rack
  • Bob, I recommend the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319 for your 2024 Audi Q3. This receiver is confirmed to fit your 2024 Audi Q3 and as you only intend on using with a bike rack the receiver portion is removable to maintain your clean factory appearance. Should you ever need to tow a small trailer we do have the Towing Kit # 391CONVC5 which also contains the wiring you will need. I do see the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT68MR you were looking at will...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Volvo S-90 T6
  • For your 2017 Volvo S-90 sedan with T6 trim (whether the T6 Momentum or the T6 Inscription), the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13305 is a confirmed fit. It is a bolt on installation with no drilling required but there is some rear fascia trimming required. I've attached the installation details to assist. If you are interested in wiring for towing or accessories, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56285 which is also a confirmed fit.

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 2019 Audi S5 265/30R20
  • Hey Andy, yes the Konig tire chains part # TH01221104 that you referenced are a fit for your tire size of 265/30/R20 but they are not your best choice since you have limited clearance. Instead what you would want is the K-Summit chains part # TH02230K34 that are also a confirmed fit and have by far the best clearances since they are only option that doesn't wrap around inside of tire side wall. Do you see a lot of snow in your area?

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2024 Audi A4 Allroad
  • For your 2024 Audi A4 Allroad I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11448. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It features a bolt-on installation and also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. The hitch has a 200 lb max tongue weight to handle your bikes and bike rack. You will also need to make sure you have a Class I compatible rack like the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU74FR

  • Adapter for Audi Q7 So it Can Tow Trailer with LED Taillights
  • Hey Volker, those are basically your two option. The expensive module or the adapter part # 20142 which does the same thing and costs a lot less. The # 20142 would be what I would go with and it will work great to allow your Audi to tow a trailer with LED taillights. Do you have a brake controller picked out already as well?

  • Do I Need to Cut or Trim the Bumper Fascia on My 2024 Audi Q5 to Install the Curt Hitch Receiver?
  • Hello Mike, Yes, there will be minor trimming on your 2024 Audi Q5. If you watch the install video I attached the CURT # C98JR hitch receiver typically installs on the 2020 Audi Q5 without any fascia trimming, the 2024 model often requires minor trimming due to changes in the rear fascia design starting in 2021. These updates, especially on trims with sport styling or a lower rear valance, mean the receiver tube may not clear the fascia without a small notch cut into the lower center section....

  • Replacement Thermostat for Furrion AC Unit on a 2025 Forest River Grey Wolf 22CE
  • Hey Earl, thanks for reaching out! I'm guessing you meant to say "Furrion" in your question box. What AC unit do you have as far as the model goes, and why is your current thermostat junk? If it's damaged or isn't working great, then you'll want to reach out to Forest River about a warranty since you have a 2025 RV. Otherwise, just let me know what model AC you have and I can let you know what replacement works. We unfortunately don't have the luxury or swapping out the thermostat to...

  • Will The Tekonsha 119250KIT Work On A 2021 Audi Q5 Hybrid
  • The Tekonsha Powered Tail Light Converter # 119250KIT will indeed work on your 2021 Audi Q5 Hybrid. The 119250KIT is a universal hardwire kit that can be used on virtually any vehicle regardless of differences in the electrical systems. The manufacturer (Tekonsha) has confirmed that it will work on the hybrid models. We made an install video showing the 119250KIT being installed on a 2020 Audi Q5 (non-hybrid). I have linked our video below if you want to take a look.

  • Recommended Hitch For A 2021 Audi Q3 S-Line
  • Hi Joe! I do have a hitch option for your 2021 Q3 S-Line, but the Draw-Tite DT62GR isn't going to fit properly, unfortunately. I am not 100% sure what it is about the S-Line that changes the fit, but it definitely makes things a little more difficult. So with that said, you are going to want the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319. You will also need the towing kit # 391CONVC5 (which includes 4 flat wiring) if you are planning on towing anything as the 391AUDQ319 can only...

  • What Trailer Hitch Fits The 2017 Audi A3 E-Tron
  • Hello Ryan. The Curt Class 1 Hitch will not fit the 2017 Audi A3 e-tron, because the manufacturer specifies it will not fit the e-tron model. The only hitch for the 2017 Audi A3 e-tron is the stealth hitch # SH46ZR. This comes complete with the hitch, towing kit and wiring harness.

  • Lowest Profile Roof Rack for a 2016 Audi A6 Sedan
  • The lowest profile roof rack for a 2016 Audi A6 Sedan is the Inno Aero Crossbar System part # INXB100-108, part # INXS200, and part # INK412. This system sits about 3-1/2" to 4" from the roof to the top of the crossbar but it is hard to get exact measurements due to all the different roof shapes. I have attached a photo of the Inno Aero Crossbar System installed on a different vehicle that way you can get a better feel for how tall it is.

  • Availability Of Trailer Hitch For 2024 Audi A3 Quatro
  • Hello Paul, thanks for reaching out. The Curt # C11399 is not listed for the 2025 Audi A3, because according to the manufacturer, it is only confirmed to fit the 2015-2020 A3. It has not been tested on or confirmed for the 2025 model since we always stick to the manufacturers fitment guide. Sadly, there is no hitch for the 2025 Audi A3 Quatro, so if you need to carry cargo, the only option would be to do so with a roof rack like the Thule # TH25AG along with a roof mounted cargo carrier...

  • Best Hitch and E-Bike Rack for 2018 Audi A3
  • The hitch I suggest for your 2018 Audi A3 is the Curt # C11399. I recommend this Class I hitch because it easily bolts on with included hardware (no drilling except you will need to enlarge some existing holes) and because its main cross tube will be mostly hidden behind your rear bumper fascia for a clean look. Installation instructions are linked for you. Since you have fairly heavy e-bikes you'll need a special bike rack made for that extra weight. The rack that I recommend is the industry-leading...

  • What Hitch Do I need For a 2024 Audi Q3 to Safely Carry a 350 lb Dirt Bike on a Hitch Carrier
  • Hi Paul — it sounds like you’ve done your homework! You’re absolutely right: the higher tongue weight-rated Draw-Tite hitch part # DT68MR does require cutting a square into the fascia so the receiver can pass through. And I totally get not wanting to cut into the rear of your Audi, that’s a big reason why many Q3 owners go with the Stealth hitch part # 391AUDQ319 instead. If your dirt bike and carrier come in around 350 lbs total, the Stealth hitch will handle that with no problem you’ll...
