I'd like to be able to tow w/ my '04 wagon...nothing too heavy, just an ATV or small tractor.
Unfortunately the local U-haul refuses to make the connections necessary to add directional signals and brake light hook ups. They cite concern w/ adversely impacting the vehicles' electronics.
Audi of Nashua, the vendor of the vehicle was of no assistance in this matter.
Does anyone know of a tow package installer in New England that knows how to handle the electrical issues that scare off the usual vendors? Is towing w/ my Audi completely unrealistic?
Thanks!

it's realistic. I don't remember the details so try doing some searching. cost a few $$$$

yep you can, you can get a dalan tow hitch and can tow up to xxxxlbs i think? check your manual

I understand that there are hitches available. I was told that the major impediment is tapping into the electrical system...that noone I asked was willing to do that. I contacted an installer of Dalan hitches who stopped installing them (Massachusetts). They refered me to other hitch installers who refused to take on the electrical system.
Thanks for the reply. I will look at my manual.

I have contacted many hitch installers. After trying my Audi dealer w/o success, I'd figure I'd try this forum as a last resort.
If this fails, I'll be forced to buy another vehicle; an extreme measure, but I need to be able to tow!

OT, but you live in NH? I live one exit from Audi of Nashua.

I believe it was Dalan that had the electrical harness to integrate with the Audi that you will need. It was about $80 for the harness &amp; $250 for the Hitch. If you need more info just ask. I did the research on it a few months ago so I'm sure I could find all the info again if I need too. I just decided to hold off on it for now. There are quite a few people who tow with their Audi and it's done in Europe all the time.

Speedy72T,

Yes, please send me info on where I can contract a dealer who is familiar w/ the (trailer) electric hookup involved in an Audi.

Thanks!

hitch-web.com They have the stuff, you'll have to find a local company to do the install. I did find a better harness than the one they have at hitch-web but I can't find it at the moment.
