As far as I understand if you have a data sim card it can be used for connect..
Goalposts have moved since I last had my A4 so I don't know, sorry. All I have is what's in the manual and here https://www.audicentre.ie/en/about-us/news/online-without-borders.html
Thanks for the response. Seems I might have to try and see what happens.
I’ll report back!

As anyone tried to do this recently by contacting the email address on here ?Hi
I have had my A4 for a little over two years now and was given Audi Connect for this duration. The only thing I really use and have noticed has now gone is google maps, I never checked weather or anything in the car.
Has anyone managed to get Audi to extend or do I now have to buy a sim card? If so any suggestions?
I'm assuming the Audi app will still work as normal. So I can still locate car, unlock remotely etc.
Many thanks
Ryan
TMC service is no longer broadcastMy car seems to have dropped even TMC traffic now, anyone elses?
Sorry I disagree! Guessing this is simply another case of Audi discontinuing their own support, losing the licence like they did with official support for Google Maps..... I subscribe to the online traffic still with Audi connect in my Audi A4. I renewed this last week, and did have the same app issues, I logged a ticket to Audi digital services, and they advised they were having maintance on the app and it would be back soon. I tried later that day and did manage to renew fine and it's back working againTMC service is no longer broadcast
Posted the official Audi TPI above. Glad it still seems to be working for you. Isn’t for a lot of the cars I have had in the past couple of weeks.Sorry I disagree!

My other car is a summer toy I purchased last year though is a 2010 Mercedes SLK 350, The built in Sat Nav is pre-historic but does the job for days out. It has Traffic TMC and it still works perfectly! Obviously as a system it feels pretty dated to what we are used to now with online updates. as it's always slightly behind. but as a general guidance there are traffic issues in the area it still works fine. It was still showing traffic around me, and reading out aloud messages of accidents nearby etc, and I was only driving it yesterday last.
On the TT Forum there is a specific thread covering this. Changing the factory setting from 32783 to 32782 for Fee Based Traffic information in the 5F module MIB adaptations restores the traffic messages. Updated my TTS yesterday and the traffic messages returned after resetting the MIB. The car does not have Audi connect either*EDIT TO BELOW* Appears Trafficmaster has indeed stopped broadcasting traffic info, but INRIX continues. So the Merc quoted above probably uses INRIX and VAG use(d) Trafficmaster, so no VAG car will get TMC for the foreseeable.... https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/askhj/answer/181704/what-has-happened-to-tmc-traffic-updates-
If TMC is still working for some, and you have no intention of paying for "connect" services, maybe try and switch the data module off so they can't hobble it remotely? I can guarantee you that data is still flowing back and forth to the mothership after the connect license has expired. Not having TMC could be a ploy to get more subs out of us, that's just the cynic in me talking though..... It's annoyed me so much I've started using Waze for traffic now, bit of a faff but, up yours Audi, won't be treating myself to the odd month of data when I've got a long journey coming up any more.
The new code is prolly for INRIX. Good to know. Am gonna test now actually.On the TT Forum there is a specific thread covering this.
