New Q7 Owner - few questions
Picked up a CPO 2012 TDI Premium Plus yesterday. I have been searching, but haven't found answers to a few questions. Dealer claimed I have a factory tow package, but the 7 pin connector is not installed. This is making me question things. There is a metal plate installed over the 7 pin connector location. I also have a large open space on the drivers side of the spare tire storage compartment. There is an area of black anti-slip paint that looks like it may have had something installed on top of it at one point. The air compressor is there (further left). The bottom of the area also has what looks like the bottom of rivets coming through it. I meant to take a picture, but the wife already headed to our vacation house with the car. I got 40 minutes driving before she decided it would have more room than her car for the trip .

the 7pin connector was an additional charge and part of a kit for $240-250.
it included the ball hitch, connector and hitch pin.
you have to look on your build sheet or on the pr code list and see if you have: 1D6 & PIO.
(which is tow package & trailer preparation package)
bottom right corner should be flat tire kit/tools in a styrofoam holder and underneath that is where you store your ball hitch. top left corner should be an air compressor to inflate the tire. if you did not receive the air compressor complain to the dealer it is supposed to come with the car and is part of the CPO process. if your build sheet states the additional tow pieces came with the car then you should get those as well if it was installed after by the customer you're not entitled to it but you can ask.

it's odd that the previous owner would remove the 7pin connector... it's essentially worthless. it only costs $70 new... i can't imagine there being a significant market for it unless s/he purchased another Q7 or Touareg and installed it.
i purchased an standard fema approved first aid kit... it cost less than the oem product and offered more. fits in the cargo storage bin and in the spare tire well.

I was at the end of an ex pat assignment and I had the movers clean the car out for me. They removed a few things they shouldn't have. The car actually went to a co-worker after I left. I contacted him once I found the items while unpacking the car. The moving company ended up replacing the items.

That's a win on both counts then!
It's just a sensitive issue for me because I have seen so many cars where people have kept Nav dvd's, jacks... etc just because they were able to and it seems such a petty thing to do.
