Ranting over the lack of homelink buttons and not a fan of having my garage door remote hooked on the sun visor, I set out to find a "clean way" (not to say ocd) of having my garage door remote button hooked up to the car's controls.
I found that some euro models have a hillstart switch on the center console in place where we have just a cover plate. I purchased the "hillstart" switch hooked it up both to the car's illumination and my garage door remote which now sits inside the armrest compartment.
We're all different I suppose. You can't live with the remote in either 1) the armrest, 2) the door pocket or 3) the cup holder, but then you drape some sloppy looking jewelery around the shift lever. I don't get it, but it is your car I guess.

One is an awesome fix to a legitimate annoyance...the other is most likely a good luck charm.
This is indeed a brilliant job. Very clever and transparent. Something to look into as I'm pretty OCD as well. What Audi put there originally is sort of laughable. If you were in the USAF and submitted a clever suggestion, they would reward your effort. Give Audi Gmbh a call!

My OCD answer to "lack of homelink button"
