Question:
Hi, I am looking to buy the a wiring set for a trailer on an Audi Q5 SportBack 2021. Why your wiring does not use the OEM Audi trailer socket to plug directly instead to use a connector on each rear lights with all long wires required ? The OEM socket is located on the left rear wing, accessible by inside of the trunk ? Thanks

Hi Jocelyn; I don't know the exact reason but it is probably because of the way the computer system works on your 2021 Audi Q5 Sportback. We don't make the wiring harnesses but, I can tell you none of the aftermarket manufacturers have one that will work with that factory port. The only option we have is a universal wiring harness like the # 119250KIT you looked at. If you want the plug and play wiring you will have to stick with the OEM harness.
