How To Add a 4-Way Trailer Connector to a 2015 Audi Q7

Question

Question:

I have a 2015 Audi Q7 US specs but, it has a European 7 Way light connection at the hitch of the vehicle. I am looking for an adapter or re-wire option to connect a US 4 way flat trailer light connection. Can you please assist me in finding one or how to have one built? Thanks.
