Question:

I need to install wiring on my 2014 Audi Q5 with a 7 pin trailer connection. I am only finding 4 pin options. Can you help me out?

While there are no plug and play type 7-Way connectors for your 2014 Audi Q5, we still have the parts you need to get a 7-Way installed so you can tow your trailer.

To start off you need the 4-Way and for that I recommend going with the Tekonsha ZCI # 119250KIT. The ZCI uses special connectors that clip over your OEM wiring and prevent you from having to cut into any OEM wiring. Both options do require that a 12V power wire be run to your vehicle battery to power the trailer lights.

From there it just depends on what you're needing out of a 7-Way:

If you just need the 7-Way for the connection for the lights then use the Curt Adapter # C57672.

If you just need to add a 12V power wire for your trailer battery then use the Wiring Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L.

If you need a fully functional 7-Way then use the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7.

To hang the 7-Way to your trailer hitch you can use the No-Drill Mount Bracket # 18136.
