What I can't do is regularity access any Google search functions or the myAudi for saved navigation destinations or those pushed from my phone or laptop via Google maps. It works maybe 1 of 10 times I try it.
I get a "no internet available or no connection available". But! There is a connection, as I can watch the data being used from the MMI telephone settings page and I can also use the car hot spot and the Google maps in the cars is updating as I drive.
I called Audi and they said it's because I'm not using a T-Mobile sim card and service... Any ideas?
I can't imagine that one needs a T-Mobile account to use the Google search functions from the MMI in the car...
Thanks

I did the US Mobile sim as well. Google maps updates fine, I can use the car as a hotspot also.

I'm currently replying to you using the hot spot in the car, so the internet/data connection does work.
I'm still getting the "data connection could not be established" message when I try to go to the find destination from myAudi account.
Looks like I'll be going back to T-Mobile.
Oh, I'm in a 2014 A7 if that makes a difference.
Thanks for the idea.

Just tried that. Unfortunately, that didn't work.

I've been having intermittent connection issues with all of the AC features for a couple of weeks. I'm beginning to think it's on their end. Could be they are having capacity or server issues. Interestingly, Google Earth seems to be working fine.

I managed to find a source for my 2012 A7 to update the MMI and NAV database for the US market. I recently moved and my NAV database was woefully out of date.
I just completed the firmware and maps update, everything worked. even fixed some obvious bugs (like the bluetooth bug) that I was annoyed about.
Whole process is documented and took about 2 hours
Price is reasonable, so if anyone is looking for this sort of upgrade, please PM me and I'll relay info of the outfit.

Snagitseven: is there any reason that the info can't be posted in a thread?

The original thread topic was updating the MMI and Nav maps in the US market. It quickly changed topics to phone services which I am also interested in.
The info I was referring to was if the link to or email needed to find out more about the MMI/Nav map update could be posted in a thread.

Are you using a US mobile sim card or a T-Mobile sim card in your car?
