I didn't continue my service. I do miss it, but I don't travel much. There are threads on using a pre-paid SIM card from another provider. It's much cheaper, depending on your data needs.

Hi guys! (My first post here on AudiWorld) I just purchased my 2013 A6 Prestige today and also included the Audi Connect discount plan for $450. Without your earlier posts I wouldn't have known about it, so I thank you all. The salesperson told me it was introduced less than a month ago.

I got the deal in July.. Decent offer.

So, just to confirm, there is no subscription requirement with Audi to use Audi connect? All it takes is a GSM (T-Mobile or AT&T) data enabled SIM card, correct?

Interesting to hear that it's only been out a month -- interesting that it's half way between the pay-per-moth price of $30 and $0, which is probably what most owners (or at least more than Audi and T-Mobile hoped for) are paying if the reports on AW are an accurate indication of owner behavior.

Be aware if you plan on using lots of Google Earth map data and in car wifi, the costs can quickly get pretty steep with the data based plans. If so, T-Mobile usually will be less expensive, even at $30 per month. If you plan on using only the other Google services of AudiConnect like Google Search, the pay-for-what you-use plans will almost always be less expensive.
