Tow hitch cover retrofit
 

I had some extra time on my hands this weekend. I decided to reinstall by tow hitch receiver cover. My Q5 was ordered with a hitch. When they installed the hitch at the port they took the cover off and left it in the back of the car. Audi made the cover with slightly raised lines on the back so one would know where to cut the plate if they wanted to reinstall with the hitch. It took me about 30-45 minutes with a Dremel tool and various files to cut out hole. I think it looks a lot better now!

I tried to import all photos of the steps involved but could only manage one. Here is the link to the rest of photos.

Anyone know how to import more than one photo from an iPad into the post?

I opted to cut the sections separately but it's the same idea.

My hitch install
 

Here is a photo of my hitch install on my 3.0T Q5.

Thanks to HadoukenZR, for his insight and photos for the panel cutout idea and the part number for the hitch plug.

I have also included a photo of the Chestnut Brown ventilated seats

These are the standard seats are not ventilated

Want to bet me that they are ventilated?

They at least appear to be standard non-ventilated seats, just like my 2013 Prem+ seats :confused:

I want
Ventilated seats must have perforated leather on the seats.

Perforated leather on the ventilated seat areas of the front seats
