The kids thought that the wlan was sick until they realised that it doesn't give them access to the internet.
Hi,
The answer depends on whether your car has the (optional) "9ZW Mobile Telephone Preparation High with Audi Connect" option installed. If it does, there should be a sim card reader in the glovebox where you can insert a sim card, or alternatively if you have a phone that supports an rSAP (Remote Sim Access Profile) bluetooth connection, your phone can act as the online data source.
If you can find the build sticker in the spare wheel well or inside the cover of the service book, you can look on there to see the installed options.
Cheers!
