The roof mounted bike rack that I would recommend for your Audi Q5 is the Thule UpRide Wheel-Mount Bike Rack, # TH599000 because it does not require you to remove your front wheel like most other roof bike racks and Thule makes some of the best quality bike racks in the industry. According to Thule, this bike rack will fit on the factory roof rack of the Audi Q5 without the need for an additional adapter.

I have attached the installation instructions for you to check out as well as a video.

If you prefer the fork-mounted style bike racks that requires you to remove the front wheel of your bike, then I would recommend going with the Thule OutRide Roof Mounted Bike Rack, # TH561020. This bike rack will also fit directly to the factory crossbars on your vehicle. I have attached a video of this bike rack for you to check out as well.
