2024 Audi Q5 Sportback Trailer Wiring Recommendation
Updated 02/11/2025 | Published 02/09/2025
Question:
I have a 2024 Audi Q5 Sportback. I had an after market trailer hitch installed and need a wiring harness. I have been told that you have to have an Audi trailer hitch installed with the wiring harness to get it to work. Is this true? Do you have. an option? Thank you

Hey Tom, thanks for reaching out!
The Tekonsha Wiring Kit # 119147KIT will work great on your 2024 Audi Q5 Sportback. It isn't "Audi" brand, but Tekonsha has the most reliable wiring on the market so you can be confident it will last a long time.
Are you planning on using the SQ5 for towing, or are you needing it for something else?
