Interest in cheaper alternative to Audi Connect?

lol - must've missed it. omg, I bet the dealer forgot to call - guess they don't need my $$. Oh boy, gotta admit I'm dying here. And hanging out with you guys on the forum ain't helping my cause. hahaha. Oh well, holding on by my fingertips for the last 30 day countdown.

I just took delivery of my 2012 A6 this week. One of the selling points was the Audi connect, and I was disappointed to hear that I could not use the data plan from my current phone (it was an assumption on my part).
I'm with joesky - that really should be an option.
I have some time before my free period is up, but if the option to use my existing data plan is not feasible then I'd be willing to become a beta tester.
Thanks for efforts sgroer!

Any news on this SGROER?
Seems you will get a lot of interest in this as the free trial periods expire. Please keep us posted to alternatives as almost everyone has smartphones with data plans or like me, a MiFi data plan as well. The Audi would be the third mobile plan that I will not need but would be great for Google Maps alone.

Making progress - been busy with my "day job" but have a good framework for how it will work. I am using a prepaid card in my Audi, testing has been great. I only use google maps on ocassion, the other stuff works great - google search, weather, gas prices, etc. All on 3g.
I realize now is the time to get this going with the trials starting to expire so I am pushing to get something done in the next few weeks...
More to come.
