Is the Audi nav system free?
At Roadshow, we don’t like having to continuously pay a subscription price for a car feature. We have already discussed it when BMS tried this technique, and surprise! We still don’t like the idea.
Audi said on Thursday that it would offer its MMI Navigation Plus service and its full-speed Wi-Fi option as either a yearly license or a monthly subscription cost for select 2021 Q5, Q5 Sportback, A4 and A5 cars. Clearly, Audi didn’t read our view on the whole notion. This action is a component of the brand-new program Function On Demand.
Audi’s (actually really amazing) satellite-view navigation costs a not insignificant $84.99 per month. Depending on your needs or preferences, you can buy a month here or a month there, but a full year of the service will cost you a staggering $849.99.
You should probably get the MMI Navigation Plus system when you purchase the vehicle because it is a $1,500 option on Premium Plus models and a standard feature on Prestige vehicles. Though not, hunt for a used car that already has it, or just use your phone for navigation, even if it looks less stylish, like we would.
Audi also offers a retroactive activation of the Light Function Package for a single $249.00 price for the duration of the vehicle, allowing E-Tron and E-Tron Sportback buyers to partake in the fun to a certain extent. Drivers who purchase this package will receive dynamic turning, maneuvering, and cornering lights.
In next months, Audi will introduce further Function On Demand subscription capabilities.
How can I get the latest Audi MMI update?

Why would you need an Audi SIM card?
Audi is now adding Audi connect SIM to its new cars that utilize the second-generation modular infotainment platform. The benefit of a factory-installed SIM card is that customers may use the extensive list of Audi connect services right away, even outside of Germany, with the data flat fee that comes with it for up to three years.
Customers in Europe who choose to purchase the optional Audi connect equipment package will also receive an embedded SIM, also known as an eSIM, which is the permanent Audi connect SIM card. As a result, the vehicle becomes a mobile communication hub. With a download speed of up to 100 MBit/s, the SIM card uses an LTE/UMTS module to deliver Audi connect services on board. Services include travel, traffic, and parking information, as well as navigation with Google Earth and Google Street View. Drivers can also access the calendar on their smartphone as well as their Twitter and email accounts. For using these services, the new SIM card comes with an unlimited data volume. Another benefit is that, in the majority of European nations, the Audi connect SIM automatically contacts the appropriate service provider when necessary. The customer no longer has to deal with exorbitant, regionally specialized roaming fees or onerous roaming confirmations.
For the Wi-Fi hotspot, customers can also purchase extra data packages that are not part of the integrated Audi connect services. This belongs to the extra navigational systems. All passengers are able to use up to eight mobile devices to browse the internet at affordable rates. While a consumer chooses a European data package, data transmission automatically occurs in accordance when crossing an international border and, consequently, when switching internet providers at set pricing.
Through their myAudi account, customers can access our partner Cubic Telecom’s online store. They can purchase the data package for the Wi-Fi hotspot from this store after registering just once. Data packages can be quickly and easily ordered through the MMI system in the car if the necessary access is granted at the online store. Additionally, customers can keep using their own SIM card in the automobile and set up Wi-Fi internet connection through their own cellular operator. In this scenario, the customer’s SIM card will also be charged for the data volume utilized by the Audi connect services, and the Audi connect SIM will be momentarily disconnected.
When a car is purchased, a new SIM card is provided, and when combined with MMI Navigation Plus, access to Audi connect services is free for three years (depending on the model). Use of MMI Navigation is free for three months, and for a price, it is available for three years. After that, consumers can request an extension of access from their Audi service provider for a charge.
All new cars with the second generation of the modular infotainment platform utilize the Audi connect SIM. Currently, these include the Audi A3, A4, new A5, Q2, and Q7. There will be other model series. At the moment, this new deal does not apply to the Audi TT, R8, A6, or A7.
The deal is the first outcome of a partnership between Audi and Cubic Telecom, a premier provider of seamless global connection solutions.
