That's great news as I am the original owner and I got a notice when I logged into Audi Connect that due to changes in the T Mobile configuration, 3G service is no longer available.
So, do I press for the upgrade through a dealer or do I need to contact Audi corporate, and if so, any suggestions on who to contact and how?
Thanks much!

Is it a matter of qualifying for a free upgrade, or qualifying at all? I'm not the original owner, but I'd be willing to pay for the upgrade.

If you are not in an area where T-Mo has updated their 3G bands, dealers would likely not have the part or direction necessary to perform the update. If you are in one of the areas, have a MY2012 or 2013 and are willing to foot the bill, dealers should have no issue with updating your modem.

i restarted my audi connect. haven't used it in a few years. somehow i got 2 free months/2G just when logging into the account. i had one of the original tmobile sims that came with my car (2013). google earth took a few days to start working for unclear reasons. i can use my app and all the features work. i must have one of the older modems that was in affected area because i have 2G service although i know i used to have 3G service back in 2013. it takes like a minute or so for goggle earth to start working. i am beyond warranty. any way to get the dealer to update my modem or is there even a benefit since I'm going to switch to a usmobile or other carrier when this runs out. thanks for any input and sorry if this question was asked already.
I also hadn't used Audi Connect in a few years on my 2012 A7. I logged in but didin't get any free months.
Apparently you're supposed to be able to get 5 free MMI Nav map updates over Audi Connect. The system is supposed to give you a pop-up on your MMI screen that it's available and offer it to you. Have you seen this at all since reactivating?

The free map updates are only for MY2016 or later with LTE. MY2012-2015 can only get map updates installed by the dealer at a cost of about $350-$400.

Check your MMI version. There have been several updates available since 2012. IIRC, one of them improved connectivity for several phone models. You may have to pay for the latest update since your car is out of the original warranty.

I added my 2016 A6 to ATT mobile share plan. Currently, ATT has a promo that expires at the end of February. If you add a connected car to the mobile share plan for $10.00 per month, they add an additional 1GB of shared data. So my 2016 Q5 and my A6 added two additional gigs for $20.00...not a bad deal IMO....

I have a 2012 A6 (2nd owner) and I've never gotten around to using audi connect - mostly because I thought it was TMobile only and we don't have TMobile in Montana.
So am I reading the first post correctly? A 2012 can use TMobile or ATT, but ATT is limited to 2G?
