Default Contour Seating, No Underseat Storage?

My 05 A6 C6 had undersea storage bins, which are really handy for napkins, tissues, a water bottle, etc. I was in the '14 S6 I'll be picking up soon and noticed there didn't seem to be these underseat great drawers like it seems some have. I see ECS tuning sells them for the C7, but I can't tell whether I'll be able to retrofit them or not given that the car has the individual contour seating package with ventilation, etc.

Does anyone have the these seats and the bins or does anyone know if these can be installed on these seats? Thanks!

My '14 has them on the standard seating (no ventilation, no contouring). Both sides and is just about a slight diagonal angle forwards of the bottom cushion. If you drew a picture it would almost look like a bulge of the seat if drawn from the side.

Given that you've got an A6 P+ of the same year, I can only assume that the reason they're deleted in S6 Prestige is because of the contour seating. Does anyone else here who has this kind of seating have them?

Do the contour seats have extendable thigh support? If so, that's why those seats don't have it.

The contour seats do not have the storage bin.

Bummer. Does anyone know if the cupboards can be installed on the seats? I'll really miss them if not, but they're pretty awesome seats so I won't cry too hard

Hmmm how do you tell a contour seat from a normal basic seat?

I have ventilated seats and i have storage compartments.

Heated, cooled, massaging, and they move in a million directions. Basically, they're the seats from an A8.

Ahh, I didn't realize it, but it seems in 14 S6 owners could opt for these seats, but it now seems Audi sensibly allows A6 owners to buy the seats. Too bad the S6 owners can't get the S8 seats, which are cross-stitched like the other S6 seats.
