No Sirius Traffic with CPO Audis.
Hi. So just spent about 45 minutes on the phone with Sirius listener care (ugghh.) followed by 5 minutes with Audi of America. (actually not bad. at least they knew what I was talking about and turned an answer around pretty quickly.)
According to the young lady I spoke with the 4 Years of Sirius Traffic that comes with a new Audi does not transfer to the new owner of a CPO vehicle. Gotta say.... that's a disappointment. Even my $50 Garmin came with lifetime traffic.
Anyway, thought I's post this up so the next guy out there doesn't waste an hour on the phone with Sirius.

unless there is a new policy it should go until september 2016.
the esn gets the 4yrs not the owner. the esn goes with the car.
i would speak to your dealer and have them correct the issue.

As an FYI, LONG discussion with AoA and CPO's only get the 3-month trial (2014 Q7). The four years offered with new cars does not transfer. With everything they do to promote their CPO's found this a bit disappointing. While nice, not worth the subscription.

it certainly is worth it. i would prefer to have the information integrated into the factory system instead of having to look at a phone throughout my trip. the annual cost is minimal and should not be something that breaks the bank.

Keep in mind that you can get traffic-only plans. They bury it... and when you call to get it (I couldn't sign up for it online) they will probably play dumb and tell you that it can't be done, but you can.
They repeatedly told me there was no plan (even though it's on their site) and after about the 6th time I said "I do not understand why you can't do this." and firmly stood my ground, they put me on hold for about 30 seconds and then told me I was good to go. I'm guessing it doesn't count to their sales numbers or they need manager approval to actually do it.
I paid 40-someting bucks a year on my old FX35.
