The Sirius Free Trial in my '13 A8 did not include the traffic data, that was an extra ad on as the trial only included the basic music.
The Google Earth Map in my car is not working properly. The POIs don't show up when I have Google chosen. No data yet from Audi as to why this may be happening.

If so, call your dealer or call Sirius.
POIs on Google Earth are not available unless you are navigating to a destination. Also, If you voice command "online destinations gas stations", then say "show on map" and they will be visible around your current position.

If you have a 2013 Audi with Nav Plus, Traffic should be free for 4 years from delivery date.

Either via DVD or SD card upgrade, but from what I've read, only thru a dealer because they have to activate a PIN in order to use the update. I think you can also update if you have a VAG, but the cost is very high.

It appears the current version of map data is 5.5.6, but the only thing changed from 5.5.5 was a small bug fix. Far as I know, this is still Navteq data.

POIs will display in Google Earth if you are zoomed in to one of the smallest map scales and you have selected the appropriate POIs to appear in the settings. POIs are not visible as you zoom out to the larger scales.

Got it!
In Google Earth the POI's only show if you click on the MMI large ****. It then fixes the rotation of the map and brings up a target reticle and the local POI's. The car's position will then move along the road but the map will not move. You then move the curser over the POI of interest and it will give more information on that POI by clicking on the TOUCH PAD, not the ****.
Also if a little man icon shows up in the right side zoom adjust icon you can see street level pictures of your route!
I'm doing the VIM mod this afternoon and curious to see if the street level can be shown while moving.
