I would like to know the part number for nougat brown. As others have said, I’d like to see if I can find them cheaper than Europrice.

I’ve found a list of parts called head restraint but I can’t tell the differences between any of them: https://m.oemvwshop.com/8w-2016-c312...20rest%20brown

What year and model? Leather or leatherette?

I have a 17 A4 but I believe the A5 uses the same headrests. And, leatherette.

I *believe* it should be 8W0885901AJT5 but I am no parts expert, it would be best to verify compatibility with your local Audi parts department. FWIW both the sites below say it will fit your car and the picture looks like the Euro style headrest.

It is available through the Audi dealer - try selecting different dealers, the prices are different depending on which dealership you select.

Or you can get it from a parts retailer like the one below

Thanks for your help. That narrows it down. Now to confirm that it really is the correct part.

Well I can confirm that the 8W6885901GMCB is NOT the Euro style headrest - it is the black leather with crescendo red stitching US style headrest. So that leaves 8W6885973JMCB and 8W6885973CMCB as possible options for the black/crescendo red Euro style headrests for the RS5. If anyone purchases a set from Europrice or elsewhere, please post up your part numbers, I am sending mine back. Cars245 was quick with the shipping and their price was the lowest, definitely recommend them IF you have the right part number!

@blassus I am thinking then for your nougat brown headrest 8W0885973AMJT5 might be right part since the 5901 part ended up being the U.S. style. Again, just a guess on my part so please proceed at your own risk.

Thanks for the feedback. I began to suspect that when the ...5901 part number kept popping up on on many US Audi parts sites. I couldn’t get confirmation from any that they were anything other than “head rests that would fit my car”.

I’ve ordered a set of 8W0885973AMJT5 this morning. I will let everyone know when they come in if they were the right parts. Fingers crossed.

I'm still leaning toward 8W0885975ALMCB being the correct part number for the euro black leather + crescendo red stitching rear headrest.

This site shows that it fits the RS5 Coupe/Sportback AND the RS4 Avant which we don't get in the US while the other part numbers only show the RS5.

That site also shows 8W6885973JMCB and 8W6885973CMCB being the same part. My guess is that these are the center headrest.

I did buy my Coupé Euro-style Headrests from EuroPrice. I have the black ventilated seats and the label that came on the box is below:


2018 Audi S5 Coupé w/ Black Ventilated Seats


I hope this helps but I make no promises or guarantees. They did ship from Germany via DHL and total time from ordering to receipt was about 2.5 weeks. I am so very happy with them.
