I'm pretty sure I need that to sign up for any of the tech features with Audi. Please list all the things I can't do without that code. Shouldn't that code be considered part of the car in a sale since it's unique to the car and essentially the key to the tech?
The tag is needed for Audi connect only. Since its a CPO, the 6 month Audi connect trial would have expired. You will not get another trial offer. If you are fine with paying the high prices for Audi connect, then only get the tag.
