Initial installation showed a fit that's not terrific, as the spacing between the front and rear tie-downs differs from previous models.
Fortunately, the hooks can be adjusted (and a couple extras are included in case you break one, which I did). After tightening the sides and knotting the elastic to take up the extra slack, it ended up looking like this, which I think will be acceptable:
Also visible on the left side is a mesh pocket that I also got; it works OK although since it's held on with Velcro obviously nothing heavy is going to work there.
Oh, this picture also shows the air compressor on the right side, where it kinda-sorta fits. If anybody's found an air compressor that neatly tucks in underneath (next to the spare tire or something), I'd be interested in hearing what kind.
Why not just buy the factory one from the dealer? Then it fits perfectly.
Because there isn't one for this model, best I can tell. My dealer said there isn't one (at least not yet) and none shows up on the Audi accessories page. If you're aware of one, can you please post the part number?

Hmm. This came up a couple of months ago in another thread and I posted the part number. I will see if I can find it again.
Compared to my last 3-4 Audis Sat radio reception is much worse. Its so bad I am going to have it checked at my first service. Anyone else with this issue?
My Premium Plus A4 did not come with a cargo net. I've contacted my salesman and he is going to get one for me. I could have most likely taken the one out of the S5 that I traded in.
Not sure about Sirius reception. I've listened to it for maybe 30 minutes at a time with no drop-outs.
Yes, my armrest has gotten stuck a couple of times, but I've always managed to get it back in place.
A4 B9 Sedan cargo net is 8W0 861 869 9B9, any other Audi cargo net will not fit right and would not be worth the money to be ordered from the dealer, for free or as left over from an old Audi most should fit ok though, I'm still using my A4 B6 cargo net and it works.
I noticed my reception is pretty bad. Seems to be very sensitive. More than my previous audi. I made an inquiry with service department but I didn't have the energy to fight them for a fix. I'll wait to see if/when it becomes enough of an issue where they have a fix from multiple complaints.
I didn't get a cargo net. My Sirius/XM is better than my previous Toyota RAV4, I do have a lot of trees in my area, which is problematic. I haven't noticed my armrest sticking, but I use it at the lowest setting.
