Default Searching for an accessory

Hi all,

I’m looking to purchase the Mythos Black Key Cover for my ‘23 A4 and I can’t find it anywhere! Audi USA parts site says it’s unavailable and I’ve had no luck at local dealers either.

Anyone know where I can get one or a dealer who has them? It’s a long shot, but you guys always come through so I figured it was worth asking!

8W0071208 Y9T - for keys without chrome bar
8W0071208 B Y9T - for keys with chrome bar
No idea what without vs with "chrome bar" means, apparently "chrome clip" is another interpretation; I don't have a B9 key.

But Y9T in either case seems generally unavailable everywhere, including UK and DE Amazons. An issue specifically with the black it appears, as the other four colors in the catalog seem present just fine:

Odd that none of the carbon fiber covers are even listed by Audi USA:

8W6071208 3Q0 - carbon fiber, Audi rings, for keys with chrome bar
8W6071208 A 3Q0 - carbon fiber, Audi rings, for keys without chrome bar
8W6071208 B 3Q0 - carbon fiber, S logo, for keys with chrome bar
8W6071208 C 3Q0 - carbon fiber, S logo, for keys without chrome bar

Pick A4 saloon since 2020 and it should show the four CF covers. Curious that it doesn't show the painted ones.
But pick A4 saloon 2016-2019 and now it shows the painted and CF ones.

"we recommend replacing older or discharged vehicle key batteries before fitting the key cover as the cover cannot be removed without causing damage to it", that kind of sucks.

not seeing any painted ones, no matter which saloon years I pick. Thanks for the reply! Bummer they aren’t making them anymore!!

The first link brings up a search with four results, the four other colors besides black. They are all rev B, so for "with chrome bar" keys, whatever that means.
The second link shows that a search shows none of the carbon fiber ones.
The third link is Audi UK and shows all of them for the B9.0 years and only the CF ones for the B9.5 years. Don't pick a year from the drop down, do reset selection and then pick A4 to pick the B9.0 years.

ahh dang. Shoot the guy a message about your interest - he is really chill.

I have the glacier white one, and it really turns the fob into an item.

I talked to him, he was super chill. I had the glacier white on my old Audi and I loved it. I actually just got a response from a dealer that they have one in stock. Thanks again for trying!!
