Default Trailer Electronic break controller on the 2017 Q7 with tow package?

Hi All,

First Audi .. I am loving it. Will be picking her up this weekend. Possibly will tow a light weight trailer soon.

For those of you who has electrical break on your trailer. I have a few questions.

1) Do you know if our 2017 Audi Q7 with tow package come with a factory "electronic break controller" to control the breaking on your trailer ? It looks like it does from reading the brochures and owner's manual. See attached pics.

1) If it doesn't come with a factory electronic break controller, where do you find that plug under your driver dash to plug in the after market electronics controller?

2) If it does (I hope) come with a factory eletronic break controller , does it need activation from the dealership or it automatic detect when you plug in the 7 pin plug near the factory installed hitch(tow package). ?

Please help. I am getting mix info from the dealership, the brochures and owner's manual.

Thanks and nice to meet you all.

Alan

Sorry to revitalize an old thread but did you ever get clarity here? I was wondering the same. Thank you.
