Default Cap for the ignition key hole area

Has anyone seen any posts on covering the ignition key area with something asthetically pleasing? It is a circular concave indent in the dash approx 1.5 inch diametre.

I have the comfort access option and do not need to put the key in the ignition.

The ignition area is really quite an eyesore with respect to the rest of the dash.

Wondering if anybody has gone ahead and found a way to put something there to cover it up? maybe a round black plastic cover with the Audi emblem?

Best do it with something that's easily removable. If you ever leave your car for service, they'll need to use the key.

MB has a very nice slip in cap for the smart key. It also doubles as the push button to start the car without having to insert the key.

Default Ignition cap

Any solutions yet. The S550 cap is nice and can be easily removed. Audi should have something to cover that spot.

My Mazda CX-9 came with a cap that fit in the key slot. If you had to use the key in case of smart key failure you simply pulled the cap off and inserted key. I agree it would be nice if we had something similar for Q7.

would be easy to paint... Wonder if it fits the Q. Any ideas?

And where did you find that? I might be able to get some measurements or give it a try.
