Here is a pictorial showing the B&O Speaker locations in the B9 A4/S4:




The speakers on the rear parcel shelf are only surround speakers. They're tiny so you don't see them protrude inside the trunk. You then have one sub. The woofer for the back seat is in the car doors along with tweeters.

Thanks for the info guys. And the B/O speaker pics are helpful... When I realized I was missing a hook, I started wondering if they put speakers in the back under the rear glass. I had looked and could not see any.. but if they are small, I'll assume they are there and Audi shipped my car with the full 19 speakers. :-)

I'll confess I find it astounding that the car does not come with 2 hooks. I realize this is just a detail and presumably a cheap part... but I can't understand how Audi ships my car out of Germany if it is incomplete. As it is, it tends to make me wonder if corners were cut elsewhere, or if quality control was compromised somewhere else. It's completely unacceptable for a premium luxury car in my opinion. I can't wait to hear Audi's explanation for it.

One thing is for sure... Dealer and/or Audi Canada will be fixing this.

I'm working on getting my digital compass and grocery hook issues fixed with my dealer...

Did anyone get a cargo floor net included with their A4/S4? Or is that an accessory you buy later?

Also, I am wondering about the acoustic front side glass... Is that normally included on S4 with the top trim? Has anyone got that on their S4 in either Canada/USA? How do you know if you have it?

I'm going to go under the car tonight and check if they gave me the sport diff I ordered :-)

I didn't get a cargo net, but did they included the all-weather rubber trunk liner (with A4 logo not S4)

the youtube S4 review by Autogeful shows the acoustic glass pretty well:

In the rear view, if you press and hold the button, does it appear? there should be a darker square in the mirror itself. When i press and hold mine for 10 secs or so, the compass disappears.

The cargo net is NOT included with the S4; however, my dealer ordered one for me from Audi -- and when it came in, even though I was willing to pay for it, I was not charged.

As has been mentioned, this kind of "accessory" needs to be clearly identified as an option.

My 2014 S4 came with one; my expectations were not managed -- I expected a net. On the other hand, I knew the audi beam rings were on the stickers of several audis on the showroom floor (plus I had seen the order guide), and I fully expected the rings to be a chargeable feature. Getting both the net and the rings at no charge was a plus.

I understand car companies' need to increase revenue and profit -- and, when items are included, the cost x thousands or tens of thousands (or more) cars is no mean expense.

On the other hand, floor mats -- USED to be in the same situation, they were extra charge and sometimes provided by the dealer (apparently) at no charge.

Like many buyers, I find that charging for "everything" and suggesting that "everything" is a la carte is, at the very least, disappointing. I would rather have the price of the car set so as to include the "accessories" that are, apparently, expected by customers.

If the product literature says "2 grocery hooks" and the car comes equipped with 1, yet another issue. I was unaware that 2 grocery hooks were SUPPOSED to come with the car. In my case, I guess I would like to have them, but I wonder if I'd ever use them, so it is not, in this example, an omission that makes me conclude audi "cheaped out" on me.

Maybe that's the issue -- putting a net or another hook in the car "included" with the price, may well be a waste. I've seen folks never even unpackage their trunk nets. I use mine to keep bottles of wine from crashing into each other, so, of course, for me, the net is not nice, it is necessary. The next guy can't figure out why they would even bother to take it out of the package.

Damned if they don't, damned if they do. . . .

As a data point - I have a new S4 prestige trim (got it yesterday), and I have two grocery hooks.

Good call wrecklesswun.

I was able to get my rearview mirror compass working... I did in fact have to press and hold the button for 5-10 seconds. It seemed like a crazy amount of time to hold the button so it never occurred to me to try that, until you suggested it. But so problem solved I guess, though the German engineering on this particular button seems a little dubious to me right now. I'll play with it some more and see if I can make any sense of it.

Now, do you have another trick to make my 2nd grocery hook magically appear?

I'll ask my dealer for a cargo net and see what they say. Seems to me it should be included. On the Audi configurator website, they do reference the "floor net", and even have part of the net in the picture for the "storage package" standard equipment. I was originally expecting one to be included. Do you think that means it should be included?





floor net is included in standard config?

I see a floor net and bag hanger(s) included in the standard package.

Depending on your production date, you will have one set or two sets of grocery hooks. The newer production cars only come with one.

For the compass in the rearview mirror, hold the button down on the mirror for over three seconds and the compass will turn on.

The subwoofer is only on the left side of the car in the rear parcel shelf.

Hope this helps.
