B9.5 RS4 No memory function for seats or mirrors!

[CJP80]

Hi folks

I chipped in my S4 TDI Vorsprung for a base RS4 with DRC, Sports Exhaust and C&S pack.
Was shocked on collection to find no memory function for the seats. Now this wouldn't bother me too much normally, but I went line by line through the specs of the S4 and RS4 and I was aware of losing only:

Panoramic roof
Rear heated seats
Flat bottom wheel (which was replaced by an actual wheel with heating!)
Head-up display

Anyone else been surprised by this?

unfortunately not - RS models tend not to be loaded with kit especially base models whereas your Vorsprung came with everything on it.

This was the main reason I swapped my TTRS Sport (which did not even have electric seats) for my S5.

As I now understand it, memory seats were standard on the RS4 until MY21.

Interesting- current S5 Vorsprung has them , RS5 Vorsprung doesn’t - must be some reason for it

Yep, my S4 TDI was a MY21.

If you are including B9 (and not just 9.5) them mine is reg Sep 2019 and doesn’t have memory seats

Yes, Audi UK tells me RS4's had memory seats as standard until August 2020. My dealer was unaware they're no longer available.
