But this coding allows you to tether your wifi connection to overlay the google maps, with no need for Audi Connect.

It worked for me, but I think it only works if you have a Canadian 2017. I do not believe anybody with a 2018 or a Q5 that came out in 2018 were able to make it work...

OBDEleven didnt work on anything for me. Kept saying that my software was incompatible, being to new. This was several months ago, has this changed so that it now works?

That would explain it I have a 2018 model. There are differences on the 2017 vs 2018 for sure; like how the front DRL remains active on blinker but this can’t be coded at all with the 2017 for some reason. Hardware changes i assume

Can you enable VIM with it on a 2018 A4? Even OBDEleven says it won't work, so I'd love to know how you are getting these things to work.

Are you talking about the VIM in particular or other codings? I didn't try VIM because that doesnt work on newer software

So I’ve attempted to enable my SIM tray. It only worked for a brief 5 seconds but won’t connect to the network. Not sure if the A4 has a data connection.

Unfortunately this wifi tethering method doesn't work on my 2018 either. My attempts to get Google Earth is a failure and I’m sad.

Hi, I was trying to enable Google Earth but stuck on phone tethering: once discover iPhone sharing or my house SSID wifi lan I connect but always have a grayed DATA CONNECTION: IPHONE and google earth fail to load.

After that, when trying to reload it, selection from GOOGLE EARTH goes back to STANDARD. It seems no data exchange from/between phone/wifi and car even though telephone shows that car is connected.

Someone have same problem? Any idea how to solve it?
