We propose a spontaneous A4 flavor symmetry breaking scheme implemented in awarped extra dimensional setup to explain the observed pattern of quark andlepton masses and mixings. The main advantages of this choice are theexplanation of fermion mass hierarchies by wave function overlaps, theemergence of tribimaximal neutrino mixing and zero quark mixing at the leadingorder and the absence of tree-level gauge mediated flavor violations. Quarkmixing is induced by the presence of bulk flavons, which allow for cross-braneinteractions and a cross-talk between the quark and neutrino sectors, realizingthe spontaneous symmetry breaking pattern A4 --> nothing first proposed in[X.G.\,He, Y.Y.\,Keum, R.R.\,Volkas, JHEP{0604}, 039 (2006)]. We show that theobserved quark mixing pattern can be explained in a rather economical way,including the CP violating phase, with leading order cross-interactions, whilethe observed difference between the smallest CKM entries V_{ub} and V_{td} mustarise from higher order corrections. We briefly discuss bounds on theKaluza-Klein scale implied by flavor changing neutral current processes in ourmodel and show that the residual little CP problem is milder than in flavoranarchic models.
