I'm not sure but suspect that even your US version will not be fully supported if you drive into Canada due to data roaming restrictions. Audi is really dragging their heels in offering a true NAR version of the system/service.

I think OP is in Canada where we get a neutered version of MMI with no google maps and no full Audi Connect.

I spent all weekend hacking the MMI and so far, all the cabling is in place and the SIM slot is fully connected. What are missing is the software components. If there is a good documentation or anyone can copy the EU code somewhere, I think someone can put it together. I don't have enough knowledge get get further. Canada peeps, the software is USA (NA) and you will not be able to roam unless you are on ATT network. They won't let you roam into Rogers since it's an exclusive contract. Yes, it's kinda illegal in the USA for exclusive lock in if you own the device outright but the political climate won't allow for government to force Audi or ATT to unlock.

For Canadians, BMW & Volvo (don't know about Mercedes) both use AT&T for both US and Canada - they seem to have figured out how to do a cross-border data partnership that works okay. Not sure what Audi's issue is.
In in the meantime, unless Audi figures out a proper solution or the enthusiast community figures out a workaround I'll be shopping the competition to replace my Q7 TDI in the coming months.
