Audi Connect license renewal?

**pitch3110** · 25-08-2016,03:21 PM

Well last night 'ONLINE' appeared out of the blue and bingo all connect services and GE are back.

Then this afternoon I received a call form the very nice man at Audi UK telling me my trial period for Connect Services is extended for a further 12 months from today.

Pitch. How did you activate the trial and how long did it take to activate the trial when you picked up the car? Getting mine on Friday and wondering when I should register for the trial as I think satyp said that when he registered his vin on my audi it automatically kicked off his trial of Audi connect

Connect worked straight out the box for me once I had the SIM popped in the dash which I am guessing you will n need.

This "trial" extension will be around for the foreseeable future. There's actually a few legal issues around the website and the interface is would use to tale payment for these renewals etc over in Germany. This is due to the fact, the car can have and embedded sim or take an external sim. So there's issues with the family t that audi have essentially made it that they want you to pay for internet access in your car even if you're using your own external sim.
Without an active Audi Connect subscription, you wouldn't have internet access in the car regardless of your data source. This has become a sticking point. (monopoly issues?)
Ironically the 4L Q7 didn't have this limitation. You stuck a sim in, and off you went. End of.
