Besides the data cost, are there any monthly fees associated with Audi Connect?

This doesn't make audi connect work, just google maps and google search correct?

Audi connect needs a subscription from audi connect itself?

Default works great

Thanks for all the great info guys

Just hooked it up on my 2016 Q5 took a few tries but got it to work.

I found that freedompop.foggmobile.com did not work
but the fp.com.attz worked just fine. Space in user name, put a space in the password, but it really does not retain it.

It also connected to Audi connect so everything looks great.

I also played with the MMI while I was sitting there, it was a thunderstorm outside, so I checked the weather. I scrolled down and for the first time realized that the weather display had a weather radar map display. You learn something new everyday.

Thanks again to the community for great info.

Default Another Question....

Will using the FreedomPop sd card greatly reduce ability to use the unit as a Hot Spot? Thanks JEFIII

Not quite sure what you are asking, as long as you have data quota left on your freedompop plan, it should be same as you are using AT&T subscription.

Just remember you only get 200MB for free...that is quickly used up if you're doing more than Google Earth with it.

I installed a FreedomPop Global SIM card in my 2013 Q5 with the original modem using bhaney's (Brett) instructions above. Works. Thanks for the help.

FreedomPop does not have the Global Sim cards in stock. You have to buy one from a third party. The Global Sim card connects to T-Mobile. This is the only FreedomPop SIM card that will work in My car.

FreedomPop currently stocks an LTE SIM card. It connects to AT&T. Will not work in my car. I don't know if this card works in newer cars with newer modems.
