Enjoy your new S8 with Audi Connect! Voice command with Google local search works better for me than anything else, well worth the monthly Audi Connect data charge: Press the steering wheel button and then say "Google search [free form string]" for any business name, street address or intersection, etc.

P.S. Yes, 94025 was for way back when I lived in Menlo Park. I live in SF now, but keep using this as my unique username

"Online Destination [free form string]" works too to set the nav destination from Google.

just set up Audi Connect. I had the dealer replace the hardware so I can use AT&T with my shared plan, $10/mo. And it works!

I have the older 2012 A8L that is locked to T-Mobile, and the service stinks

. Does anyone know the part number for the MMI telephony module that will work with AT&T? At this point, I am exploring the option of swapping out the modem and updating the MMI firmware. The currently MMI firmware is HN+R_US_AU_P487 (yeah, it's pretty old

)
