Whenever I go to 'MMI connection' (Under Settings) I see: No connection to the vehicle possible with a red cross mark
Attachment 33434
Anyone knows what does it mean and/or what am I missing (due to that)? I seem to be able to do other things like locking/unlocking the car etc. though.

I believe that always comes up unless your device is in range of your vehicle.
I see the same thing even inside the car.
Did you link your Pin in MyAudi to your account under your email address? (I think thats what you need to do)
I think I did otherwise wouldn't be able to do anything in the app, I think?? Should be able to double chk in an hr. so.Quote:

Phone connected to cars Wi-Fi?
I haven't purchased any data-plan (neither do have my own SIM), so cannot connect to the car WiFi but should it be because of that actually?Quote:

Just thinking about it, would it be better to connect car to phone hotspot?
Technically it can, then redirects to Cubic's Data Inside landing page, to tell me 'either I didn't purchase any data-plan or my SIM is not registered' and insist me to do either. So, it doesn't actually connect.Quote:

Sorry for responding to a very old thread. I got my SQ7 last week, I was also having the same error until last night. Basically you need to purchase data plan from Cubic Telecom if your car is supplied with a data module or you need to put a data SIM in the car. I purchased 2 GB for 30 days just to test it out, not sure if it is of much use so probably will not renew it.
Hope this helps
I've ordered an SQ7 as well...
I'm bloody well hopeful that it'll come with a sim card working already to go for the price...
I've found the price plans online... That's extreme!

You don't really need the data plan. It's just if you want to stream internet radio and play tracks via wifi. Not sure how it is different to Bluetooth though. I bought 2GB for £13 valid for 30 days only to test it out. The data module built in to car with free access does give you weather, traffic POI and Google maps etc.Quote:

Enjoy the new car when you get it :-)
Ah ok, I'm not really interested in that. I have a 60GB data plan on my phone and will bluetooth stream to the car via that.Quote:

I can't wait to get it now, My partner ordered a new car yesterday, comes in 5 weeks... Now I just want mine!
It’s useful to send nav destination points to the car directly - either via google maps directly or a share via MMI app. So when you get in car you just look up MyAudi destinations and stuff is there. And the google satellite imagery for when you don’t have phone on you / plugged in etc. I’ve not got embedded SIM just my own on cheap Three PAYG data.

Yes it is but that feature works without paying for data, I was told that in the 2017 onward Q7 and SQ7 a data module is built in which let you get news, weather, POI updates etc.
Couple of questions though when I send an address via MMI app it's visible under myAudi contacts rather then myAudi destinations.
Secondly what's your experience with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra, is it worth it? My car is non metallic black (Midnight black)
I take it the Bluetooth data connection didn't work like it did in the older gen (4L)Q7's then???.. Had tried for ages..Quote:

It's a bit ridiculous, unless one inserted into the glove box and it doesn't need to be from cubic telecom.
Any SIM data only or normal minimum 2GB pm, I have been quoted (£11 for 20GB) if call Three as an existing customer. But going to hold out as this RAVPower FileHub Plus, Wireless Travel Router, SD Card USB Reader, 6000mAh External Battery Instruction Manuals & Drivers Downloads - File Hub Plus via my own unlimited data SIM to circumvent the captive portal message that redirects to the 'Cubic Page' to buy a plan, which only makes sense for frequent Europe travellers with the car.
Conclusion by Germany trained Audi Connect rep was to buy another dedicated SIM for the car even if you have unlimited data (30GB/pm hot-spot in my case) via my phone.
You are not allowed to used it in the car via the on board WiFi system when connected to the car via BLUETOOTH!! , go figure
Do let us know if your findings and experience is the same.
Thanks

MMI destination - that’s odd mine still appear in the myAudi destinations section, just like when the direct button was available from the google maps app. The google maps website still works this way I think.Quote:

Had it professionally applied and it costs but I would say is value (certainly versus dealer-promoted coatings) - the orca black looks grubby so easily with grease and dust that it helps.
