My car has a SIM slot under the MMI cover, not sounding daft but what are the main benefits of having this ? & is it easy to use.

Thanks

Depends on the phone. Audi Connect doesn't work with an iPhone for DATA so I have a phone-Shop sim in the dash. Something to do with Apple not implementing a data sharing api on their hardware. I believe Androids work but not tried one. Best solution I could find is a '3' Trio SIM that gives you 12Gb for 12 months for approx £30 (prices vary a bit). Amazon or Argos. '3' shops charge more!

iPhone works fine for calls bluetooth etc

As well as online services (main benefit I find is real time traffic status and petrol prices when the car needs fuelled) I also use the myAudi app, both on my phone or through a web browser

MyAudi enables you to see the service record of your car and best part is you can find a place on the map, save it in myAudi and it syncs to the Nav. So if I'm going somewhere I use this neat interface to load the destination up on my laptop and then it is ready in the car. No messing around with postcodes etc

Actually like it despite it's not leading edge tech

Not sure if the the same on the B8, but on the C7 you can find places by using Google which generally takes you right up to the right building whereas postcode search only takes you to the approximate position. Also woth the Connect option on the C7 you get Wi-Fi in the car so the kids can connect their Wi-Fi only iPad's etc when on long journeys to watch YouTube etc. This really eats up the data though.

I don't have the Audi Connect option but a quick look in the above manual, shows the car can be a wireless hotspot and does Google Street View. You need to switch the Wifi on and set it up via the MMI Telephone menu (see page 62). Street view has a few caveats based upon HDD memory and Street View availability, it looks to be accessed from the side menu when the little man appears - not the best description I know, but the user manual has it there with pictures on page 84.
