If yo uare talking about the LATCH system......
then this should be a free retrofit from Audi. As you point out they do care about the safety image of their cars and as such they will add it on their nickel. If a dealer told you otherwise they are trying to take you for some extra $$$$$.
Audi of Scottsdale in AZ fitted mine for free and I think others have had the same experience.

If a child seat is rear facing, it is also (or should be) reclined as far as it will go. In this...
position, the edge of the child seat will be far enough up the center armrest so as to prevent it moving at all.

The top latches on the ar have to go on the floor of the back due to the seat
back reclining and they are pretty hard to affix a car seat to...you have to let the top anchor strap out all the way and it's really tight.

Mighty-tite is the best $15 a parent can spend. It makes it so...
easy to quickly and tightly install a seat without having to climb into the car and kneel/wrestle with it. This convenience is exponentially higher if you frequently trade your seats between your and your spouse's vehicles, or if you frequently travel with your car seat and put it in rental cars.
