What's the best after market accessory (OEM or not) you ever bought? Do you love your license plate holder? Trunk liner? Phone/iPad mount? Center console organizer? Mats? MMI connector cables? Trims and bumper covers, mudflaps, come on guys, what am I missing?

I'm new to the Q5 (Hybrid, 2013), loving it, want to get it the best... Please post details of where you got it...

A few items I bookmarked based on other's recommendations.

I'm definitely a fan of the center console storage box!

I found the front door handle boxes to be worrisome...they pop out and don't hold a cell phone very well...additionally, I constantly worried about the goodies dropping out when I opened/closed the door.

Just my $.02

My boot-liner and armrest storage box is essential!

I've ordered the armrest storage box.

Also these cushions to amuse the kids/passengers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A1C98P3PJDR6K1

And this for holding the phone (6S, after reading really helpful discussion on people's phone holding solutions on this list): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And this MMI interface cable, which so far works fine even though not OEM:

Wondering whether anyone has the premium textile mats? I think I might have to order them from Audi or the dealer since I have the hybrid Q5 and the hybrid mats have a different model number from the non-hybrids, making me think the amazon/ebay ones might not be the right fit: https://parts.audiusa.com/p/Audi_201...061271MNO.html

This may be out of bounds from your original question, but I have to say 100% absolutely the VAG-Com cable. Lets me personalize all the stuff I cannot tailor otherwise -- Lighting, Chime/Reminder disables, Gear Indicator enables, Vid in motion, etc.

I really like my cargo liner by canvasback.

That VAG-COM sounds good! I'll research how to use it - I'd love to customize a few of those settings. Amazon reviews on the cable are uniformly bad, can I ask where you got yours? Thanks.
