maybe there's cached memory. Even in the US you need internet connection through Audi connect for google maps to work.

Mine did the same thing for about 3 weeks, but came back requesting an Internet connection last week. It is using cache data. The car memory cache about 4000 km of road travelled, but usually require to see a live connection to work. If the road is cache, it barely consumes any data the second time you travel it.

Yes. Apparently street view has been done away with in the new cars. My ‘18 SQ5 doesn’t have streetview.

Also. Has anyone in the US with an expired Audi connect tried doing what the Canadians did in their cars to get Google earth? Like use their phone as a WiFi hotspot to run google earth. I miss it in my A4. I have unlimited mo I’ve data on my phone and I hardly use it since I have WiFi for everything.

Hey guys,
So, I changed the adaptation value in 5F that should enable me to add Sirius/XM Traffic to my wife's US-spec '18 Q5. But I've called Sirius twice now, and when I give the radio ID they keep telling me that their "system doesn't even offer Traffic as an option for that radio". Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'm in the same boat called twice and they say it's not available for my car even though it is.
