Hi
I have an Audi A5 Sportback 2015 (Japan import).
I wish to install a towbar. However, the A5 has Active Suspension, and Audi have quoted me $3,480 for the genuine towbar + wiring - beyond my price range at the moment.
The high cost is to do with the wiring.

I understand (from Audi) there may be lower cost suppliers who are able to cope with the wiring issues.
Can anyone suggest a supplier who can provide a towbarand wiring.?

thanks

Hi Doug,

I have Active Suspension on my 2011 S4 and had not trouble getting a towbar fitted by Towbar Express in Christchurch. I got a voucher off GrabOne and dropped the cost till around $400 as I needed the CAN compatible wiring done. I've had no issues towing with it and just doesn't register a Trailer on the Reversing Screen like the genuine Audi CAN module would but that's not a big deal.
