This is more of a curiosity then anything else. I have noticed that my A6 is not providing me with any traffic updates period. The car is still connected to the 3G server (the car displays the 3G level of connection in the bottom right of the screen and has a sim card in it) (although I am not subscribed to Audi Connect), but I do not get any traffic information. When I start a route through the navigation it has a check next to the live traffic updates (therefore indicating that it should work), but I have no colored lines next to the roads (which would indicate the traffic conditions). The settings are set up with traffic updates enabled. I know that I am not subscribed to Audi Connect, but as far as I know the traffic information is not Audi connect dependent. My parents had a 2016 A7 and A5, both of which continued to give traffic information long after their 6 month Audi Connect free trials expired (my parents did not subscribe to Audi Connect). Up until both car's leases ended (39 and 36 months respectively) both cars provided traffic updates and information. The A5 was running on the same MMI roughly as my A6 since the update for the A5's came in 2013. Therefore shouldn't my A6 also be receiving updates. Im going to bring this up with my dealer when the car goes in for routine service in a few weeks, but I wanted to gather some of your thoughts.

UPDATE: I called Sirius. It turns out that my subscription had run out, which is why I was no longer getting updates. For some reason Sirius no longer includes Traffic and other updates in their radio packages (according to the person I spoke with). So although my radio subscription is up to date, my traffic one is not. So if your having an issue with your traffic information, give Sirius a call. Thanks everyone for the help!

I called Sirius XM and they said it was almost $50 per year! I was able to negotiate a lower price though.

I paid about $20 for my 1 year subscription. The thing that annoys me the most about Sirius XM its that all of their representatives seem to quote different prices. Im convinced that these representatives just pull price quotes out of thin air. Glad you were able to get them down in price! I have a friend who just threatens to leave them each time his subscription is up, and Sirius ALWAYS goes way down in price. I think he gets something like 50+% off the list price.
