Question:
Must the fascia be cut for this hitch to fit the 2016 Audi A4? Do you have any photos of what that looks like? Thanks!

Yes, fascia trimming is required to install Draw-Tite trailer hitch # DT24950 on a 2016 Audi A4. The area that needs to be trimmed is up underneath the vehicle and not visible otherwise. I have included a diagram that shows the area that needs to be trimmed. This is a bottom view as if you were lying on the ground looking up at the bottom of the vehicle.
If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.
