Tips
- In vehicles without Audi connect*, the use
of the Wi-Fi hotspot is only possible for the
Wi-Fi audio player*. A data connection to
the Internet cannot be established.
- A separate, paid mobile subscription may be
needed to use the Wi-Fi hotspot. You can
obtain more information from your cell
phone service provider .
- Depending on your cell phone plan, rece iv-
ing data packages through the Wi-Fi hot-
spot may result in additional charges, par-
ticularly w he n in another country. The use
of a flat rate data plan is highly recom-
mended. You can obtain more information
from your cell phone service provider.
