Does Audi make a trailer hitch for the A4?!? Any suggestion on where to look? I checked Clair and didn't find anything. I want to use one of the bike racks that slide into the hitch. I don't have the heart to put a bike rack against the car. I couldn't find anything while doing a seach.

Thanks

I know people have written up their experiences with installing this hitch, but I only found one relevant hit when I did a Search on Dalan on the A4 Forum.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hitch-web.com/dalan.asp">Dalan Hitch</a></li></ul>

I've got a class 1 receiver hitch (1 1/4") by Da'Lan on my '01 1.8T. I use it with a Thule 985 Hitching Post bike rack to carry 2 bikes (that's the limit of the class 1 hitch and for the Audi). You can install it yourself (you'll need a torque wrench among other things) or go to a local installer. I'm in Massachusetts, so I went right to the company (they're in Shirley, 978-425-9585).

Here's a picture of it on my car:

Here's another (sorry about how dirty my car is...I just got back from a trip to Vermont):
