SQ5 Owner Update
#51
The reason I'm paranoid about this is that I did managed to lock my keys in rental car (pos Chevy Impala); it cost me $100+.

Thanks to all the replies.
I ended up buying a 3.OT Q5 Premium Plus, Daytona Gray, S-Line Package, Sport Package (which adds the "Black Optic Package"), B&O. Has pretty much the same interior as the SQ5 (Flat bottom steering wheel, adaptive ride control, driver select...only difference is the power and about $8K less. I am happy with the power the V6 put out for what I want, so I couldn't justify the $8+K just to get the extra HP...plus SQ5 doesn't offer the Daytona Gray as std color nor the Black Optic Package that I wanted.
The Q5 is still on a boat destined stateside :-)). I'll post pics once it's here. Very excited to be part of the Q5 community finally!

Wow that is poor service especially since I am coming from a BMW.
1. BMW road side can unlock your doors remotely in the event you manage to lock your keys in via BMW Assist.
2. If your car is equipped with Comfort Access (Bmw's key-less entry / start), it is pretty much impossible to lock your keys in. The system is smart enough to know that the key is inside and you are trying to lock the doors from outside.
I am surprised that Audi has not figured this out with all the tech they have in their cars.

HAs anyone been able to source a trailer hitch for the SQ5? Audi says they can only put a hitch on a Q5. My search for aftermarket hitches is coming up empty. I see a panel in teh rear splitter that could be removed, but I wanted to validate it here with owners.

There are many hitch options available. After just learning from one of the knowledgeable members on here, the SQ5 bumper is the same as the S-Line model (per the Audi service manual). So any hitch that fits a S-line Q5, will work on our SQ5.
I need a hitch NOW!! But I'm waiting for the Invisihitch from Daryl. That's a perfect option for these SUV's.
Check out this tread, and the second page has the S-Line & SQ5 bumper info: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2860537
