    I really would actually! I'm all about helping the community that helps me :)

    But unfortunately I don't see myself getting paid anytime soon. It seems like a channel based on Audi is very niche.

    To your point, one of my favorite accessories is this super-soft towel (some kind of synthetic fiber, almost feels like fur) that I use to lightly dust off all of the glossy surfaces in the dash and console areas. Makes the car look brand new when that dust is removed.

    Problem with magnetic car mount is that it might interfere with wireless charging if your phone has that option.

    It's cool. It may be a copy, but I don't think many people care so long as it works and for half the price...

    But my goal was to show people items they may not have seen before, and not necessarily the importance of the brand.

    Nice, in for a keysmart too. I have the gap filler too, although mine is the one that came out on Shark Tank.

    I've tried a few different air ionizers and whatnot and my opinion is they are total garbage. I didn't notice any difference in air quality with it running even up to an hour or more. YMMV but that was my experience with it.

    Yeah I might pick up the shark tank one too. The sound the pleather one makes is really annoying.

    The Shark Tank one does make some noise when you adjust the seat but it's definitely not to the point where it's annoying. I picked up a pair for everyone in my fam, no complaints.

    Personally, I prefer the MPOW CD Slot Mount - keeps the phone right where I need it, out of the way of all controls pretty much and is really stable:



    You can see in that shot the USB cable that I ran under the center tunnel and brought up through the ashtray. Makes for a much cleaner interior that way.

    I thought about the KeySmart, but I only have two keys, and my house key doubles as a bottle opener, so it won't fit in a KeySmart.

    Agree definitely that a good microfiber cloth is critical to have in the car at all times.

    I also love my Amazon Basics 4 Port USB hub. Fits perfectly on that little shelf in the center console and paired with a 4.2 amp short charging adapter, provides lots of charging capabilities up front:



    And as you can see in the picture, I agree on a good tire pressure gauge. Nevermind that mine is older than Audi USA more than likely, it's still super reliable. I also keep a multi tool and knife stocked at all times...

    I switched my CD player mount as the one I had was far too bulky. Wanted something simple that didn't take a lot of room. First pic is the old one, second is new one.

    Great suggestions, didn't know about the KeySmart. I gotta try one!

    CD slot mount doesn't work well with manual transmission. I constantly hit the phone in 3rd gear.

    Yea I noticed that as well when putting the car into park, so I just let my phone ride a little higher on the mount. Haven't bumped it since.

    I got this and stuck it to the dash trim to the left of the MMI screen. Phone rests on both the magnet and the dash trim right above the key slot, so it's super stable and out of the way. Doesn't obscure too much of the MMI and keeps the phone high up so it is easy to see.

    Dash is plastic so not really concerned about removing the adhesive later if needed.
