I'm thinking things that are not: wheels, tunes, exhaust, tint, diffusers...
For my B8.5 S5, I bought some stupid Audi (knock-off) tire valve stem caps. Transferred them to my S6....love them. Totally stupid though.

A slim wastebasket that fits between the center console and rear seat.
I would like to install some grocery bag hooks and also get some sort of netting to hold stuff in the passenger side cubby hole in the trunk.

Was that in your B8.5 S5? If so, can you post a pic? I know this is the C7 forum but I figured a lot of these "little things" might apply to other models.

I bought two of these leather key-fob protectors for $8 each. I ditched the strap that came with it and connected it to my keychain as shown below, which enables me to easily remove the key and hand the fob to a valet.

This phone holder made specific for C7. For $20, the fit is excellent and it doesn't interfere with the screen movement. I used to have a universal that clipped into the vent and always needed to make sure I pulled the phone off before shutting the car down which became a minor annoyance.

I have the same one. I have a Note9 which is somewhat heavy. I put the metal sticker on my phone inside the case. The phone will rotate when mounted. If you have a heavy phone, I suggest sticking the sticker to the outside of your case, it will hold more steadily.

The ROW brake auto hold button was the best $20 I’ve spent. Popped the old button out, put the new one in, coded with VCDS, and a few minutes later I no longer had to leave my foot on the brake pedal at stoplights. Why Audi deletes this feature on NA cars is near the top of the list for idiotic decisions they’ve made.

2017 r8 should be difference than the 2018 rs7. 2018 rs7 is an old gen and i believe uses the old gen key, whereas the 2017 r8 is the 2nd gen with the newer designed keys

I have this same item. Hopefully someone can give some insight on what they have done in a similar situation. My phone/case is too heavy to stay mounted without the magnet. If I put the magnet in the case then my wireless charging does not work because the magnet block the case. I tried placing the magnet at the bottom of the case, but then the phone falls off shortly.

I'm using this Scosche Magic Mount Pro Charge with ProClip adapter (https://www.proclipusa.com/product/magicmount-charge-with-proclip-adapter). It's got wireless charging using 2 magnets (top and bottom) which is much better than a single magnet where the phone can pivot and eventually fall off. Not to mention it's easier to line up the charging coil. I put the magnets on the outside surface of the case and everything works fine.
Only thing is, it's a fair bit more expensive $80 vs $20 but so far it is the best solution I've found for QI wireless + magnetic mount. Can't go back to a mount that only has a magnet in one spot.

Okay cool. As for the key, the R8 is a low production vehicle = no rush to update things...hell just compare any 2015 model year Audi with the 2015 Gen 1 R8. it's laughable at best The 2016+ gen 2 R8s will likely never update with the progression either. No point putting money into R&D on such a vehicle with such small sales.

Seriously? We survived cars with only 2 brake lights and clutch pedals where most drivers didn’t have their foot on the brake at all once stopped but now it’s too dangerous? I’m sure it’s nothing more than simple coding if Audi NA has that big of a stick up their ass to not include something that’s been standard on MB and BMW for almost a decade.

BlendMount and MirrorTap for my Uniden R7. In all fairness, I had the BlendMount in my S4 so it wasn't really a purchase for the S7. I hate sticking an RD to the windshield or visor. Pricey, but so much better than the super cheap version. I like it so much I sprang for one when the wife got a Q7.
Also, be careful on those ebay valvestem covers. I had some on my S4 and one got stuck, rendering the valvestem completely useless. Either use anti-seize or find a different valvestem cover.

Emergency warning triangle and reflective vest - since '19 TTRS here in the US doesn't come with either.

Not sure what these are made of, but please take care not to install metal valve stem caps. Years ago I learned the hard way that metal caps react with the valve stem itself and corrode, resulting in a bonded cap that won't come off easily. I had to Dremel off mine and ended up having to replace two (2) of four (4) valve stems in the process.

Yeah, that's good 'ol galvanic corrosion. For these to not corrode, they need to be made out of a material close to the valve stem's material on the galvanic series (https://www.corrosionsource.com/UploadedImages/galvanicseries.gif). For this reason, Audi makes their own valve stem caps and has different versions for aluminum vs metal/rubber valve stems

The ROW brake auto hold button was the best $20 I’ve spent. Popped the old button out, put the new one in, coded with VCDS, and a few minutes later I no longer had to leave my foot on the brake pedal at stoplights. Why Audi deletes this feature on NA cars is near the top of the list for idiotic decisions they’ve made.
This is the most bang-for-your-buck mod I've ever done on a car.
Do your brake lights stay on?
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
No.
I suspect that's why it isn't available in North America. It's dangerous if the brake lights don't stay on.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
It's not dangerous in the rest of the world though.
If your talking about auto hold I activated that in my A6 and the brake lights turn off. But I turned on euro parking lights so at least the lights are still on just not as bright. Talk to us about this Euro parking lights. What is it?
I only really use the auto hold if I'm stopped at a traffic signal, and there is already someone stopped behind me. At that point, my brake lights don't matter. It's so nice to have if you have to reach to get something or you have kids fucking around in the backseat or you have to wipe their noses, etc. Removes the stress of making sure you're not rolling into the person in front of you.
It's clearly not that dangerous, otherwise Audi wouldn't have made that feature at all. You just have to be mindful of how you use it. It's possible it was disabled for the NA market because the NHTSA and/or Audi thinks we're dumb (and they're largely not wrong).

Euro parking lights is a change you can make with VCDS or obdeleven to have your rear lights stay on if daytime running lights are on. See screenshot below for instructions how to enable.

This phone holder made specific for C7. For $20, the fit is excellent and it doesn't interfere with the screen movement. I used to have a universal that clipped into the vent and always needed to make sure I pulled the phone off before shutting the car down which became a minor annoyance.

These are like the VW/Audi trunk organizers but way cheaper. And they work just as well.
I have a trunk organizer that is held in place by these. They're fantastic.

Maybe try cutting a plastic L shape to size and attaching it with double sided tape to the plastic and the velcro side to the liner? This way you can remove it when you want to as well.
Try these instead: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VVPWSXM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The color “tint” will make it basically the same darkness as his 7.5. It’s what I had on mine and I loved it.
Great info. I will look into those. Thanks.

Yeah, that's good 'ol galvanic corrosion. For these to not corrode, they need to be made out of a material close to the valve stem's material on the galvanic series (https://www.corrosionsource.com/UploadedImages/galvanicseries.gif). For this reason, Audi makes their own valve stem caps and has different versions for aluminum vs metal/rubber valve stems
Aluminum valve stems - 4L0071215A (https://parts.audiusa.com/p/Audi__/Valve-stem-caps-for-aluminium-valves/53060076/4L0071215A.html)
Metal/Rubber - 4L0071215 (https://parts.audiusa.com/p/Audi__/Valve-stem-caps-for-rubber-and-metal-valves/53060040/4L0071215.html)
What is the material of the valve stem? Brass?

I too am interested in learning about those tips. Seems to be a non sport package rear valance. I wonder if they make those tips for a sport package valance.

Given that a single wheel will cost you more than that to repair or replace, I believe it IS cheap.
Can't argue against that. How was the install?

I picked one of these up. Everyone should have one if you have a normal jack. Works great. It is smaller than you think when you get it, but it works very well.

A different mount but with the same dash clip as the other mount in this post. Using a clear case so I didn't want to put the metal pieces behind my case. I like it alot. The mini black is the one I have.

I looked at them a while ago. It seemed like they probably stop light rash, like if you stop as soon as you notice you are on the curb while moving slow. I felt the overall look and the fastening process didn't appeal to me. IMO they stick out pretty far from the rim (see pic) and use steel clips and glued on cap for the space between the ends. But for all I know they may work exceptionally well.

Speaking of wheel protectors I just had a super close call. Making a tight right turn in a mall parking lot I hopped the curb a bit. Felt sick when it happened since I haven’t even had these wheels for 3 months yet. Got out and looked......no damage. Whewww

Well I ordered some stuff I saw you guys post. I don't know if I ordered the same brands though so here is the links and pictures of them installed.
The sunglasses holder I'm extremely impressed with the plastic is soft and high quality
The arm rest cushion also feels of quality.
The door latch protector seems okay we will see.
The door handle compartments are iffy passenger side seemed to fit better and stick drivers side is already not sticking and it's been an hr.

Thanks for the post. I need to get these. A few weeks ago I was using the plastic one that came with the car and my wheel was stuck on so I pulled on it really hard and it came off and snapped off the plastic wheel holder thing inside the threads. I had to carefully drill it out. Yes, I do think I messed up some of my threads. The lug did go back in but it was not smooth at all. It gets really tight way too soon. So, these will help prevent that in the future.
JonnyBravo!

Looks great! I want to upgrade the shifter, but don't want one that says RS. I didn't even think of an S-tronic one.

I was in the same boat. This fits, only thing you need to do is swap the plastic frame which clicks into the center console, as the newer gearknob has a wider one than the original one.
