Are you sure it's not 6 GB per month?

I did not subscribe to the DATA PLAN because I have no need for the Wifi hot spot.

Yes, but I'm having trouble finding a source on the actual Audi site. First, that would be a hell of a lot of data per month, and second, this guy talked to somebody at Audi about it: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/q7-.../#post24855651

I renewed Audi Connect but not the data plan and I still see album covers on SiriusXM, checked this morning.

album art is a sirius feature, not related to Audi data

I'm not interested in work arounds where I have the inconvenience of plugging in my phone whenever I drive.

BTW, I did not extend the ATT data program as I have zero need for a Wifi hotspot.
Yes I can afford it but it offers so little for $27 a month. It’s a personal choice n

I’ve let my free trial expire and don’t really miss it except for traffic. Does anyone know if you can use SiriusXM traffic data in our cars?

This post shows how. I believe you also have to have an existing subscription to SiriusXM - which I don't. I wish you could just pay the $4 / mo. and not the music.

If I keep this feature the only thing I use it for is the MMI connect app. I really like the features it offers with remote lock/unlock, tracking, vehicle diag, etc.. I use and love android auto and honestly never find myself even using google earth. I really thought I'd use that all the time, but now if I switch to it, it's just as novelty thing. I might miss the stop light timers, that's an interesting feature I believe that comes down from that connection as well? Does Audi have a definitive list anywhere of all the features that are tied to this subscription? It seems vague.

My dealer did it as well, the only issue is that he did not use my Gmail address. He used my comcast address and I can not send stuff to the google side of my navigation. If I want to change the email address I have to delete my audi connect account and start all over. I don't know why Audi will not let me change my email address without deleting my account. and creating a new one and then having to enter all the crap in my car.
