Map updates are periodically sold on a DVD by the dealer. They usually prefer to do the updates themselves. Note that if you subscribe to Audi Connect after the 6 month free trail via T-Mobile, Google Earth overlay is updated constantly (but not the on-board maps).

All U.S. C7's include Sirius and HD radio. You get a 3 month free trial subscription with Sirius and 4 years free Sirius traffic.

You might want to go to Audi's website to get all the basic info of what's included, features, etc. Although they haven't loaded the 2014 models as of this writing, the 2013 info is pretty much the same (the 2014 packages have changed a bit but you can search the forum for a 2014 order guide for specifics).

The maps installed by the dealer are not cheap either.

Hi Snagit7 -

Just bought my CPO 2012 A7 a few weeks ago and wanted to try out all the bells and whistles so I called Sirius and received a 3 month free radio package but when I asked about traffic updates, they signed me up for a $3 monthly traffic package.....no mention of the free 4 year service, it's a 2012. Am I being scammed here and should I be calling them back?

Thanks!
Allen

Sorry for any confusion. My post should have indicated 2013 and 2014 C7s. Audi negotiated the four year traffic free deal with Sirius for all Audi 2013 models with MMI 3G Nav Plus and it's been carried over to MY2014. MY2012 included just 3 months trial along with the Sirius music.
