    Audizine's #ProjectGREY7, Audi A7 for All Seasons (Thule rack & cargo box info!)

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Our latest video featuring my 2019 A7 is complete and making the rounds on social media. I of course wanted to share even more enthusiast worthy information here.

    First off, the basic info...



    The Audi A7 is already a very practical car, the perfect alternative to someone who doesn't want just another SUV. It drives like a sport sedan and has the versatility of a 5-door. But what about those longer road trips where you need a little more room to haul gear? Wagons and SUVs have handy roof rails on top to expand your storage options, or to haul bikes and skis, but sedans do not. So what then? Not to worry, as Audi and Thule have you covered. Audi actually partnered with Thule to manufacture their roof rack kits and accessories for many of the Audi models, the A7 being one of them. The roof rack mounting kit (AKA the "WingBar Evo") can be purchased from your local Audi dealer, or the Audi Accessories website. The cargo carrier box is Thule's all-new "Vector Alpine" model, and we absolutely love it!

    Additional parts on our 2019 Audi A7 include lowering courtesy of H&R's "Sport Springs" kit, riding on 21"x10" wheels by Brixton Forged. These are from their Radial Forged line, the "RF10" in a Satin Black finish.

    You might also notice the clean and clear orange-free European-spec headlight housings, which were imported by our friends at Europrice. Not only do these look better - in our opinion - but they have a better more broader light output over the standard US-spec version.

    As for the roof rack and other Thule bits...

    The rack and mounting hardware can be ordered from your local dealer, the Audi Accessories website, or you can give Google Shopping a go. List price is $620, with some dealers selling it below $500 at one point. Not a lot of these were brought it when I got mine, so I'm not sure their current availability.

    Would a VCDS mod include coding the European headlight housings to work?

    Working on having the NA and EU matrix working fully on the C8 models. It requires some reasonable work and as we noted when we just changed your coding which made the car unhappy. When I have this all set we can do a session and get your matrix function working like EU models as well.

    Awesome. Just give me a shout when ready, or if you need the car for any testing or anything.
