I am actually impressed at some of the programming behind it - there is an enabled traffic light near my house with a freeway on ramp before you get to the light. Everyday when I am approaching the light, it will trigger the indication but when I get on to the left lane for the on-ramp (way before I am at light) it knows I will be getting on the freeway and turn off the display after a few seconds.
p.s. I don't think I have seen it ever work in Houston proper.

Oh cool missed that thread. Looks like more cities have been added since then. Nice to know it works in Sugar Land. I live in Katy so once I take delivery of my car I'll be able to see if it works in my area.
You mentioned you've never seen it work in Houston proper, does that include downtown? Thanks!

One of the cities is Denver, but I have yet to see it pop up on my A5 (w/Audi Connect Prime) in 16 months of ownership.

Enabled cities include: Dallas and Houston, Palo Alto and Arcadia, California; Portland, Oregon and Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Kansas City, Kansas and Washington, D.C.

Nope, doesn't work in downtown yet and I work in dt so I am checking everyday. I am in the energy corridor a lot and it hasn't worked anywhere in that area either. I have seen it work on some lights on Hwy6 between I-10 and 90A, but definitely nowhere inside the loop yet.

Doesn't work outside of major cities, which I get, but useless for many people.

I’m still trying to find where this is supported in Dallas. My 6-month Prime subscription is coming to an end soon too

Looks like I am going to have to take a 25 minute drive to White Plains N.Y. just to see how/if this feature works. Like evanseric21 said, "Has to start somewhere".

This may help. Gives more specifics on location. Looks like White Plains in New York is supported and looks like Flower Mound and Frisco in Dallas.
