Question:
Hi, I see that the C51522 wiring harness has a suitable plug for the factory tow package on a 2017 Audi Q5 Premium Plus. And the other end is of course to a Curt brake controller. I see such a harness does not exist for a Tekonsha Prodigy P2. Is this as simple as cutting the Curt end of this harness off, and splicing in the Tekonsha side of the harness?

Expert Reply:
You are correct that Tekonsha does not currently have a plug-in wiring harness available for your 2017 Audi Q5 but you're also right that you can simply cut off the brake controller end of the Curt # C51522 and hardwire it to the pigtail on your Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 for installation. You will then still be able to use the vehicle-side plug to connect to the factory port behind the dash of your Audi Q5.
After cutting off the controller-side plug on the harness the wires will splice to the brake controller color for color.
