Question:
Will the Thule Camber 2 fit a 2015 Audi A5 Cabriolet? Do you have recommendations for a hitch bike carrier for the car other than the Thule?

The Thule Camber # TH9058 is a great bike rack that should fit just fine on your 2015 Audi A5 Cabriolet with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11188 installed.
To add locks to the Camber you will need the Snug Tite # THSTL2 and the Cable Lock # TH538XT. If you have any bikes with a step-through frame you will also need the Adapter Bar # TH982XT to allow it to hang level.
A bike rack that I highly recommend, even over the Thule Camber is the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA12B because it will provide a more secure hold for your bikes, it is much easier to load and remove the bikes, and it fits virtually any style bike without a front fender unlike the Thule Camber that requires the bike to have a flat horizontal top frame tube or you will need an adapter. The NV 2.0 Base uses integrated locks for both the bikes and the rack so you don't have to add extra parts for security.
Please note that Curt does require the use of the stabilizer strap # 18050 for all non-trailer applications with their Class I trailer hitch. I have attached review videos for both bike racks that you can reference.
