I decided to do a how to install and setup the Audi RS7 with a spare tire in the trunk space with the Bose Sound System.
Audi Part Numbers used:
- 4G0601027 20" spare wheel with 145/65-20 Continental spare tire
- 4G0860381 body hardware, rear body & floor, jack & components, end cover
- 4G0012109C body hardware, rear body & floor, jack & components, tool compartment w/air suspension
Tools needed: NONE!!!
Step 1: Empty the trunk from everything and lift the carpet/cover.

Step 2: Unsrcrew the plastic knob so you can remove the toolbox cover

Step 3: After removing the plastic protective cover, you will be able to see the tool caddy and the air suspension box with the air lines. You can slowly lift it from the caddy and put it on the side so you can remove the caddy

Upon removal of the caddy this is what you will see. You can opt to remove all the tools from the caddy before you remove it so they don’t fall and damage the car, but I don’t think is necessary

Step 4: Not it’s time to install the new skinny tool caddy. Notice how the air suspension lines are setup. It took me a while to figure it out since i did not have any reference. The purple line will remain outside. The suspension box with the lines slides right in the specific opening in the caddy.

Step 5: Here you will install the second part you ordered, which is the plastic cover of the air suspension lines. The way it fits is shelf explanatory, as it clips into place on the caddy. There are specific gaps and lips for it to hook…

Step 6: Here you will transfer the tools from the original caddy to the new one. Note that there is no space for the air pump and bottle with the liquid, but there is plenty of room in the trunk to store it. I put mine on the right side where the little net is there to hold things in place.

Step 7: Lift your spare tire and place it in the space you just created.

Total time should take you less than 30 minutes, taking your time!!!
Good luck!!!
