Setup for 2017 Audi Q5 B8.5 2.0 TDI Ultra CNHA

Question

Neither THAR-AUD1 nor THAR-AUD2 lists the 2017 TDI Key port as compatible;  however the EVO-ONE lists Q5 2017 as compatible.  I have a 2017 Audi Q5 B8.5 2.0 TDI Ultra , automatic transmission with CNHA engine code (sold Outside US)  and I would like to buy a EVO-ONE with the correct harness for my vehicle. 

1. Do I have to buy a THAR-AUD1 or THAR-AUD2 harness separate to the EVO-ONE for 2017 Audi Q5 B8.5 2.0 TDI Ultra, automatic transmission with CNHA engine code ? 
2. If so,  Which do i Buy,  THAR-AUD1 or THAR-AUD2 for 2017 Audi Q5 B8.5 2.0 TDI Ultra, automatic transmission with CNHA engine code?
3. Will I have to sacrifice a key? 

Answer 1

Hello,

There is no t-harness for the 2017 Audi Q5, the installation is hardwired only.

Yes a key is required for remote start.

Thank you Derek,

I looked at : https://fortin.ca/en/vehicles/audi/q5/2017-key-port/compatibility/

Does this setup look compatible  for 2017 Audi Q5 B8.5 2.0 TDI Ultra, automatic transmission with CNHA engine code   :

1. The EVO-ONE-LTE / EVO-ONE

2. Flash Link Updater

Is there a guide, video or any documentation as how to do the hardwire only installation ?

Hello,

Yes the evo-one or evo-one-lte and a flash link updater would work for remote start from the OEM remote or through the es lte app if you go with evo-one-lte.

This would be the installation and programming guide using evo-one: https://cdn02.fortin.ca/download/72801/EVO-ONE_IG_REG_BI_AUD-A4-A5-Q5-S4-S5_2015_PTS_KW_A_72801.pdf

Fortin does not make videos. Installation by a qalified technician is always recommended.
