Avant trailer hitch harness
Has anyone installed a hitch harness in their B8? I need some help identifying the correct wires.
Edit: I found the wiring. |
Re: Avant trailer hitch harness
Hi guys, newbie here and this is my first post. I'm looking for a hitch for my 2011 A4 Avant to install a bicycle carrier. Are there any good installers in the Toronto area or should I have the dealer install it? Any ideas on the cost? I'm assuming the dealer price will be much higher.

For reference, the Hitch Depot will charge you about $290 for hitch, electrical connector, delivered with taxes in. I don't know the typical installation rate. If you don't need the electrical you can reduce this by about $90. Any hitch shop around town should have it. Uhaul also sells the Curt hitch. You can also install a fully hidden Euro style hitch but they are about $600 and may not be locally available. |

Its just for a bike carrier so no need for electrical. Is it relatively easy to install?
I saw a bike carrier at Costco for only $67 so I thought this would be a good alternative to a roof rack. I'm relatively short so for sure I'll scratch the car if I try mounting bikes on the roof. |

the Curt hitches look good so I'm looking for a Canadian seller so I don't have to deal with duties etc. Thanks for your help!

Re: Avant trailer hitch harness
so I found out that my Avant only accepts a Type 1 Hitch that has a 1.5" receiver. However, I'd like to install a 4 bike rack that apparently uses a 2" receiver. Does anyone have a solution to this?
