Sirius XM Traffic Data
I'm only getting traffic data on the interstates and a handful of other major roads. Is this normal? Google maps provides traffic data on practically every road regardless of its size. I'm finding that I have to pull out my cell phone and look at google maps way too often to get the traffic data that's not showing up on the MMI, which defeats a main purpose of having it in the first place.

Sirius Traffic sources NavTeq traffic data vs. Google which uses Inrix (and other) traffic data which has more comprehensive coverage although they both use traffic data from some of the same sources. This is probably a contractual result of Audi using NavTeq for their map data source. On the other hand, Audi contracts with Google for the Earth overlay and online search data as well as Inrix for some of the other Audi Connect info. Only Audi knows how they determine who and why they contract with these different vendors.
