Default Questions about new (to me) 2016 CPO A6

I just purchased a 2016 CPO A6 3.0T P+ with pretty much every option including the Driver Assistance Package. I love the car but have two questions that I was hoping the collective wisdom here could answer (and yes, I read the manual!).
First, does the car have a Rear Cross Traffic Alert system when backing up? I ask because I have a 2017 Subaru Outback with Eyesight. When backing the Subaru the RCTA will chime if there are cars/pedestrians/etc approaching my path (not necessarily obstacles but potential obstacles). I haven't noticed this feature with my Audi although the parking sensors will alert me to close obstacles when I back up.

Second, I found a gray Sim card thing in my console and put it in the Sim card slot and now it seems to be stuck. I am not planning on using Audi Connect but what was the card and is there a simple way to remove it?

Thanks for your help!

Congrats on the new car and welcome to the forum. The answer to your first question is no. I don’t know the answer to the second question.

I just bout a '16 CPO as well. The sim card was already in the slot and working, perhaps a complimentary 6 month subscription? I assume you tried to remove it by first pushing in like an SD card? Otherwise, I guess you have two choices, leave it in there- no harm, or try some needle-nose pliers. I'd just leave it in there.

1. I am almost certain it doesn't have that feature
2. It is easy to put the SIM card into a space above or below the actual slot. I did that and the dealer pushed it in so it was out of the way. Too expensive to disassemble the console. There are some economical ways to do Audi Connect. Check out FreedomPop
