Question:
Does this installation interfere with the kick to open capability? Is the Clip on harness easy to install and worth the difference between it and a splice design?

The Draw Tite hitch for your 2017 Audi Q7 part # 76076 will not interfere with your automatic open rear tailgate. At worst you may have to kick to either side of the hitch opening but it will still work well.
The part # 119250KIT is the best way to go. Cutting and splicing in to vehicle wiring would be way more difficult than just attaching a sensor and not having to worry about damaging the wiring. Especially on today's modern vehicle wiring that is so thin.
