Default What is this sensor in the boot?

See attached photo - anyone know what this sensor is? - I assume it’s some kind of sensor anyway...

Is that a B9 S4's trunk? Why did I think there was a temporary spare in there?

No but could be related to rear view camera or backup sensors?

I don't have a rear view camera (like EVERYTHING on this car it's an option), and it doesn't go anywhere else. I wonder if it could be a G sensor or something....

It doesn't have that either - but would it go through the metal floor anyway? I thought a kick-sensor would be under the rear bumper (it was on my previous car)

In my Lexus GS, similar looking sensor in about that location was the receiver for the keyless entry. Suspect that sensor picks up your remote trunk release and makes sure the key isn't in the trunk.

Hmm that could be a good shout. Makes sense.

you dont have a back up camera? It comes standard on the S4 along with the front and rear parking sensors. You sure you have an S4 buddy? lol
