The fascia trimming required for your 2012 Audi Q5 will be the same despite the different appearance from what is in the instructions. To be clear make sure you are looking at the first part of the trimming instructions because the second part is for the Porsche Macan which does look different. I have included a customer submitted photo showing the hitch installed per the instructions on a Q5 with the same fear fascia as yours.
