Absolutely sure. I tried all orientations both with and without the case. Steve

I cannot confirm, but the site says it fits Q5 2.0T

I cannot imagine that it would be different for any other Q5 engine model.

A thought...

Maybe you take it out of the case when it is placed in the Q5 tailgate compartment?

MP4.2+, any recollection of a case?

I bought the one offered at ECS and it DOES NOT fit. It's too big for my 2011.

I assume you're talking about the little long rectangular opening in the mid part of the lift gate, right?

It looks like it will fit but just is just a little too wide for the clips to grasp it.

Unfortunately, the person helping me at ECS wasn't very "helpful" -- I asked a bunch of questions because they have two parts with the same part # but he pushed me -- and now I'm stuck with it (high restocking fee). >

I asked this earlier, does the folded triangle fit in the Q5 tailgate compartment without the orange case?

It doesn't fit with or without. There are two little clips that appear to maybe hold a "case" in place or maybe just the triangle alone, but not my case -- it's way too wide.

OK, that is a shame. I was interested in getting one as well.

More importantly -- finding the correct one. Obviously the Audi part number is either incorrect or ECS has them mislabeled.

I took mine over to my local dealership and he didn't believe me -- he walked out to one of the other Q5's in service and saw for himself it didn't fit. He was going to call me back -- but you know how that goes... :/

Ohhhh Doggy Doo Doo. I just ordered one yesterday. Well, I'll know if it fits in the 2014 by the end of next week, and I'll let everyone know.

The ECS website specifically says it will fit the 2014 cars, so I hope they would not charge a restocking fee.

EDIT: Ok, it says Audi Q5 2.0T > Interior > Trunk. It doesn't say 2014, but hopefully ECS would make it right if it doesn't fit.
