Default Audi V2I

I noticed about a week ago that the traffic signal information started working at most lights in Frisco, TX.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up in case you're in the area and want to see it in action. Right now the only thing it does is give a count down to the light turning green but according to what I've read they're looking at expanding to other features in the future.

It's pretty accurate, light turns green within 1-2 seconds of the car saying it will. Seems to start giving information at least half a mile from light.

Any questions let me know. I can test things if there's any specific info you want.

This is good to know it works. I'm in DC area and haven't seen this. I've been patiently waiting.

Does this only work on the Prestige model?

If you're able to safely, can you take a picture of what it looks like?

I'm also in/around the DC/Baltimore area, and I think there's a fat chance of us getting this anytime soon, given how municipal governments run around here...

What a neat little luxury. The future we didn't ask for, but the future we received.

True!! Given the traffic here it would be nice though. Especially if it's working ahead .25 to .5 miles away.

Do you know if there's an Audi meet/club in Baltimore/DC/NOVA area?

None that I'm aware of, though to be fair I haven't really bothered to look into it.

Thanks for the pic, Packetninja. Hopefully one day it'll light up on mine!

Does anyone know what other cities are targeted to roll out? I vaguely remember the sales person here in LA saying the tech as not legal here yet. I might have misremembered that though.
