Default 2001 Audi S8 Need part identified for replacement

I know,i know..i posted this in the S Car Model Line thread and nobody has responded. This model seems to be very very rare,i think there are more 2001 A8L models,than these S8 models.

There is also pictures that i attached of a small part,that is missing from the passenger side"pillar"? if that is the correct term to use for it.

I looked at the opposite side pillar and it looks like a small grill but there is a wire with a connector,sticking out of the pillar/grill in question.

I need someone to give me a name for the part,so i can run a search for the part and replace it. Come think about it,it looks like a tweeter for speakers.

This car is for sale,so just in case anyone is interested,hit me up but first tell me,whats the name of this section,so i can order the part and replace it.

Here is a small video i took of the vehicle:

Dibs, you're too late Chris

Looks like a motion sensor. Did a quick search and came up with this:
RH Motion Movement Alarm Sensor 97-03 Audi A8 S8 D2 | eBay

Now about delivery. If you drive it down to Virginia, I will give you mine to drive back to CT.

I found out that this connector is a motion sensor but i need the grill that covers the sensor,not the sensor itself.

Anyone know what's the part number for the cover/grill?

I attached 3 pictures,one of the left side pillar,which is intact and the right side pillar,which is missing the grill/cover with the sensor sticking out.

where is that parts guy from AudiUSAParts.com when you need him?

Did I hear someone call my name? This looks like you have to buy the upper B pillar to get that grill/screen piece. It does look like it's a motion sensor. My guess is you have 2 grills on that passenger side B pillar? One screen facing forward, one backward? Picture below shows what I see. The grills are more accurately shown in another diagram in my parts film, but when I click on the part it refers me back to this diagram and tells me to sell #16, the entire B pillar. It is p/n 4D0867240AQ31R for cloth (looks like cloth not alcantara in your photo) and platinum for color (silver/grey). It's 252.96 dollars and none in the US. Our parts system doesn't tell us if any are in Germany though. If there are, it would be 7-10 days until I'd get it. I'd need your cars vin number to order it and get it here in 7-10 days, without the vin it's 1-2 months away. Audi has finally agreed to expedite parts from Germany to a US parts depot if a part is needed by a customer. The idea being why should a customer have to pay to expedite a part from Germany that a US warehouse didn't have in stock.

On the diagram #16 is the B pillar. 17 is listed as not a spare part, meaning you have to buy the pillar to get that item and it's the adjustable seat belt hinge part that is built into that pillar lining. 17a is that motion sensor as shown in the link above. 18 is a metal clamp.
