Hi,

I have a message on the MMI saying my Audi Connect is due for renewal, so I called Audi as I've done before to get a free extension, but this time it's a monthly fee of £11.50 or £115 a year. One option I read about was to buy a data SIM card and put this in the car as it can can work out cheaper that the Audi subscription as long as you don't use too much data per month.

Any help will be great.

Yes, it changed December last year, you now need to pay for it. A data SIM card will not work on a MIB2 unit, it will only accept Audi registered SIM cards - in addition, the online services offered via the car like traffic information, news, weather, etc are protected via individual licenses that need to be activated by Audi, so even if you could supply internet access to the car none of the online services would work.

think I have a problem my car is 2017 no sos button but has built in sim I was told I don’t need data to sign in - but now they say I need data so need to subscribe to link my car seems a lot of money for not much. I just wanted to make sure I’d had all the map updates on the car.
