Is it the same and would it work on a 2017 A4 Sedan?
I recently bought a used 2017 and according to the sticker it was not included.. The original delivery point was to Michigan and since Michigan doesn't use front licence plate...
Honestly, I doubt it. I believe it only fits a 2017 A4 Allroad.
I bought an EOS frame on eBay for $45. I just put in to see how it worked. Will put it on to get my no license plate fix-it ticket and take it off after. The two places that I tried the frame mounting did not work well with the front parking sensors. Didn't fool around too much since it is not going to be permanent. I washed my car yesterday so no more crap on the hood and grille.

I put the OEM bracket on last year and it promptly fell off in a car wash - lost forever. The OEM bracket is hefty and using 2 self tapping screws to attach it to the grill is a terrible design flaw. I also disliked the fact that it was so much bigger than my plate and thought it looked anything but OEM. I finally got new plates and went the DIY route. I spent $7.50 on a Cruiser 79150 universal mounting bracket from Amazon. It has slots that lined up perfectly with the 2 pre-existing holes in the grill. I used #6 1 1/2 inch metal screws (basically self tapping in the soft plastic of the grill) and added red Loctite to the threads this time so it won't fall out. I had to stack two washers under the screw head to make sure the bracket held on without the plastic bending. I put a narrow stainless steel frame over the license , mounted it, and it's done. I now have a framed license plate on the front that is exactly the same size as the plate. It feels much more secure than the OEM did (probably user error...). https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have a 2017 front plate bracket (holder) if you are interested. I removed mine and installed lower with a different frame and sturdy zip ties because i didn't like the excessive size of the frame (Japanese/US compromise) and the disruption of the plate on the good looking grille. Pic attached (there's also a thread about my install).
