Question:
I have a 2025 Audi Q5 with S-Line exterior trim package. I understand that the curt 13499 is the compatible receiver, but I curt does not make a compatible wiring harness. Is there a compatible harness out there? I ideally would like a 7-pin adapter as I need reverse signal to release surge brakes. Are there any options out there?

Expert Reply:
Hey Steve! Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch # C98JR (13499) is compatible with your 2025 Audi Q5. There is no custom wiring, but you can use the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. This will provide you with a 4-way to power your trailer's lights. Then you can upgrade to a 7-way using the # ETBC7. This comes with the adapter, wiring, and everything else required for installation.
