Yes you can install a Prodigy P2 part # 90885 in your 2015 Audi Q5 that currently does not have any trailer wiring. For that you would need to start with a 4-way like the part # C56404 which installs easily and does not require hardwiring to the vehicle. Next you'd just need the part # ETBC7 which comes with everything needed to convert the 4-way to a 7-way and wire in a brake controller.
