Thanks for posting the pics.. I am so itching to replace the complimentary T-Mobile SIM with an ATT card to go with the family plan. So I take it that all of the Audi Connect services information worked with the ATT SIM card..?

Thanks in advance

I'm using my iPad AT&T SIM in the MMI for 2 weeks now and other than 2G only I have not seen any difference. Using the WiFi hotspot feature is pretty useless on 2G but Google Earth, online POI search and myAudi destinations all work fine. And coverage is better in most areas I drive to.

$5/month Audi Connect?

I am going to try a new pay as you go plan to get the monthly cost down to $5. I'll report back my findings.

I have this up and running, all went smoothly. On track to get monthly cost to $5 and retain functionality of Audi Connect including Google voice search and Google Earth maps.

I just read your post and the link to the Q7 site. I just ordered. It was as easy as you guys made it out to be. Once I receive the SIM card, I'll report back on my experience too.

Thanks for your research!

Ok, so I ordered the Ptel SIM card yesterday. It arrived today! So far I'm impressed.
I went to their website and activated it. No problems. I followed the instructions in this tag to activate it in the car. No problems. Now Google maps is up and running, and on-line connection is active. Total time to activate was less than 10 mins!

Awesome!

How is the data speed with TMOBILE 3G...? does every thing load fast? what about the wifi hotspot, is its speed fast enough that i can actually use my laptop with it?

Also, does anyone know what size SIM do i need to get for my S6, regular size SIM i presume?

thx
