I'm going to be traveling in Germany and France when I do my ED in a few months, so I hope that the Audi provided GPS works there. Otherwise I will need to get some other form of help. Perhaps maps!

We had our US phones enabled for International roaming. Both Google Maps and Waze worked like a champ. We didn't even have to take the Audi provided GPS out of it's case.

Same for me - I use T-Mobile in the US, and many of their plans include unlimited international data roaming now. I was able to use Android Auto, with Google Maps, and it worked very well.

The Audi provided GPS worked fine getting me from Ingolstadt to Stuttgart, to Porsche and Mercedes museums within the Stuttgart area, and finally to drop off the car in Sindelfingen.

Audi provided GPS worked fine for me also. It was a little sluggish in some larger cities (Salzburg), but overall was fine. Enabled our phone for international for backup, but never needed them

I used the Garmin provided by Audi and Apple Maps in CarPlay in Germany. I have T-Mobile using free data which loss signal sometimes since I stayed in small towns but the Garmin worked fine.

A note to all of you awaiting ED cars. Keep the plastic tag that came with your car keys! It's needed to activate the MMI and stuff.

I pulled mine out of the trash just in time, one day later and it would have been gone!

Have a great trip!

My T-Mobile worked very well too. At one point it stopped working and I had to set up a roaming APN, with instructions similar to these: roaming APN
The only difference was that I found
epc.tmobile
was what worked, not
epc.tmobile.com

But regardless, that wasn't until very late in the trip, and it fixed the issue completely.

Yes I had data become turned off and had to enabled it also at times. Drove me nuts at first because I would get calls and text to work.
