Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2019 Audi Q5, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Tekonsha upgraded vehicle wiring harness with a 4-way flat trailer connector. So this Q5s are really capable SUVs and people wanna use them. They wanna tow their trailers, go on adventures and whatever the case may be. And so if that's what you plan on doing, you're gonna need a way to power up those lights on your trailer. And with this setup, what's really nice is the fact that our wiring's gonna be stored inside of the Audi whenever we're not using it.
That way, good looking car, you don't want wiring hanging down back here and everything else. So whenever you are ready to use it, there's gonna be a compartment over here. All right. And so we're just gonna turn that knob, pop that out. Your wiring can be stored right there.
So really convenient. And the way you're gonna get this outside of the vehicle is just to lay it flat over the threshold there and close the hatch on it. You do want to avoid the latch area here in the center and it might seem kinda strange closing the hatch on the wiring, but it's not gonna hurt it at all. It's designed to do that and it's not gonna get pinched, smashed or anything like that, so. With that said, though, we're gonna have plenty of length here to hook up to our trailer with that 4-way flat and that's a really common size.
A lot of trailers have this setup as well as hitch mounted accessories too. Once the bikes on them, they're getting more and more popular nowadays, particularly cargo carriers on a long trip or something like that. And generally speaking, this is gonna power those up as well. So kinda get two for one there. So this gonna be a great way to power everything up, keeping you safe and legal whenever you're pulling your trailer down the road.
Now with that said, Tekonsha makes really good stuff. I've actually got a Tekonsha wiring kit on my car. So I've got faith in them. And at the end of the day, it's gonna get the job done. Now, as far as the installation goes, on an Audi you might be thinking, man, this is gonna be really complicated or really hard to do, and actually we found a way that makes it relatively simple, actually. Everything's pretty easy to get to. And with the battery being in the back here, we don't have to route a ton of wires or get underneath the car or anything like that. So everything actually went pretty smooth. I will say the one thing when you come across and that you need to pay attention to, when you splice into the factory wires, really pay attention, make sure that's connected good there because they are relatively thin and easy to miss that connection, if that makes sense. But with that being said, why don't we go ahead and get started and hook this up together now. To begin our installation, we're gonna be here at the back of our Audi, and what we need to do is gain access to the inside. So we can open up our hatch and we're gonna need to locate a wiring harness, which will be over here on our driver's side. So we're gonna have a panel right here. You need to remove it and our wiring will be behind there. So just turn this knob, quarter turn, pop this out and set it off to the side. And the wiring that we're gonna be working with will be this bundle here. There may be some tape around it. If there is this, juts peel that tape off. That way, the wires can be spread out and much easier to get to. So I went ahead and tested these wires and I'll show you how to do that in a moment. But what I came up with is three different wires that we're gonna be working with. We need our tail light signal, our left turn, and our right turn. Don't need to worry about our brake signal because the stop and turn signals are combined. So for our tail lights, we're gonna have these gray wires or solid gray. Either one of them will work when we go to hook that function up. For our left turn signal, we're gonna have this mostly blue wire. It's blue and has a black stripe on it. All right. That's for the left turn. For the right turn, we're gonna have the black wire with a blue stripe that runs on it. So again, that one's for the right turn. Now go ahead and show you how to test these. The kit does come with the light that you can use, a test light. But with that said, since all of our lights are actually on the hatch, where you're gonna have to do is get inside the vehicle, close the hatch and work those functions so you can test it. So whenever you're doing this, if you have the hatch open and you're trying to test them, you're not gonna get any signa
