Default OnStar on Audi's

Just ordered my RS4, but forgot to check one thing. The old Audi's had OnStar on them, but I don't see them offering this on their website. I'm using TeleAid with Mercedes right now and I'm wondering what Audi offers....or does not offer.

No OnStar that I know of...I don't think they have anything on them now.

Default You won't see OnStar on any more Vag products...

The terms of the lawsuit settlement were satisfied in 2004, and VAG is no longer required to purchase OnStar products.

Default I didn't know anything about that. That's too bad, even though I didn't really use the....

On-Star in my B6 S4 my wife loved it b/c it made her feel safer when I was driving without her.

They really are great to talk to as well.

So does Audi have plans to bring back some type of system? I like it for safety. During winter and travelling on roads where I don't get cell signal, it's a nice safety feature to have just in case one gets stranded. I never used the concierge service on my mercedes though.
