You need to enter in the APN: truphone.com (It needs to be lowercase make sure the t is not capitalized by default) Leave the other settings blank. I also went into the Audi Connect website and was playing around and was able to get the system to generate a pin. Not sure exactly, I think I was just setting up a profile or something but I'm obviously not paying for the service through Connect. I entered this pin into the vehicle and voila, it downloaded the 3 saved destinations I has saved for a test. The Audi Connect iPhone app appears to be working correctly as well allowing me to create a destination and upload it to the connect server and the vehicle will download it.
Looks like they have locked this down. I can't access anything outside of google earth. When I put the pin in on the nav it won't connect to the server.

When you say you are able to get Google Earth and nothing else, does that include search or just the maps?
