then it is not motorised
yet much more expensive than the factoy-mounted version, but you see no difference and it is genuine...
all others are rather ugly add-ons

Motorised hitch not approved for US. The US OEM or add on are same (what we would call ugly!). Cant speak for Q5 but Q7 difference OEM vs aftermarket is in the rating. The OEM version means car is built with bigger cooling rads so higher towing capacity.
In answer to robert... yes 4 people have fitted hitch see the spreadsheet.

I did notice that there is a European hitch(for trailer only) that has a U-shaped hitch that extends down, out and up from the bar. It essentially wraps around the bottom of the bumper cover. When the U-shaped ball arm is not installed in the bar one cannot see any part of the hitch. Why it's not available in US I do not know.
