;-) I was on another trailer towing post and must have stepped on this accidentally. We'll see. I'm not really into the zombie thing, though.

I want to tow a 2500 lb dry weight Jayco 145RB with my 2018 Q5. Do I need to do anything with cooling system? I saw Audi hitch installation guide mentioned about change about cooling system. Do you know whether the 7 pin wires ready for the brake controller. Thank you!
