My 2005 BMW 545i had both a tilt sensor and motion sensor with the OEM alarm. I would be very surprised if our late-model Audis didn't have something similar. In fact, I would be rather disappointed if they didn't.

I have previously owned aftermarket alarm systems with shock and glass break sensors, and they are the most annoying things ever. They False alarm all the time, even when adjusted to low sensitivity.

North American Audis usually have tilt and door but no interior motion sensors. You could source the motion sensor hardware from Europe but you may need to change the controller as well and may also have issues coding the device properly.
