Default An actual use for the hook in the passenger foot-well

After a new model is released the factory accessory's follow. Audi has some
pretty useful additions for the Q5; this one seems alright and would be nice
in the wet Northwest. Has anyone found a use for the hook in the passanger
foot-well?

Agreed, I think that the hook was an almost useless idea that Audi is now trying to capitalize on a bit. I might be wrong but I can’t imagine any real use for it.

I believe the hook is be used to secure a purse, handbag, grocery bag etc. Keeping them from rolling around in the footwell.

It is, and I'm looking forward to it. I often pick up one bag of groceries on the way home and put it in the front seat floor (where it usually slides all about). This is one feature I will defenitely use. Not a reason I bought the car but was on the "Perk" list.

Might be true in the country where drivers rather roll down their windows to throw out the trash and no wonder it is so sh**ty out there

In our car, the plastic mini trash bag hungs on that hook...

There is no front seat compartment in the US Q5
