I think that mode can be activated also in the TT, I found it in adaptions!

Yes, there is an adaptation call Developer Menu and I guess that is the one, and already activated it.

Now it is just matter of fact to find a combination button to "Open Sesame" :mrgreen:

If you scroll & select hotspot, is there a greyed out option for hotspot & client? If so then you have a data sim installed in the car. Eject the sim & hotspot & client will be a selectable option.

NO. This option is not available for head unit without the SIM slot.

But I've managed to set up and was able to turn that Hotspot & Client option on, then connected the car to Phone's wifi hotspot successfully.

The problem is now I dont think the car takes any data from my phone's wifi.

If I go to Map view, Select Google Earth view option then it immediately switches back to standard view.

In other word, I cannot set map view to Google Earth view, even it shows in the drop down list. Dont know why.

I dont have Audi Connect so there is no way to test whether the car takes data from the phone's wifi hotspot. I wish it had some kind of net browsers, Firefox or Chrome :x

Does anyone know if it possible to code Audi connect into a New Zealand Model. I have a 2015 and don't think Audi support connect fully here in NZ. I can connect to the wifi app Audi connect, create a hotspot for the car but don't have the connect options to get weather, live traffic, would love to pick up google maps on the virtual cockpit to help navigating the commute home.

Any ideas for a code hack.... Etc.

 

[Benlepunk]

audinut, please, can you tell us what you changed in long coding to make it work, (the adaptations are easy to find on other topics, website, but long coding...)
I'm sure a lot of people, would be interested in trying to make it work
I'm still trying to play with adaptations, but since you told me that long coding is also involved...my 5F module has no label on bytes so...

Hi guys! Everybody today know the long coding to activate hotspot & client, obviously phone_NAD in 5f unit.
Now the problem of hotspot e client is resolved. But nobody has resolved what audinut spoked about in this thread. My car doesn't take the connection to internet and "the Select Google Earth view option then it immediately switches back to standard view." Somebody can help me? Audinut....are you already in this forum? Can you hear me? I have your problem! [smiley=book2.gif]

Thank you!

I have the identical issue. The car doesnt accept the iPhone data. And isn't vidible under "Data Connection", even after going through the Carplay setup succesfully

any news?? I have a TT friend with the same problem, his MMI has the SIM slot, but no chance to get data from the hotspot, function is grayed (if using a SIM, data connection works)

Dear All

I have just bought a mk3 TT with Navigation - High (dont know what the High means). The Audi connect is not working. Am I correct in thinking that if I get a data only sim and put it in the sim slot that I will get access to the live traffic data for the navigation? Do I also need Audi connect for this feature or is the sim all that I need?

TIA

Basically you need both...

You need the Audi Connect subscription to access the services - only three years comes with the car. Easiest way to order it is through the mAudi app (just done mine for the second time).

SIM card simply gives you access to the internet - although you can use hotspot to your phone if you like - just doesn't seem worth it to me.

MyMemory do a good 1 year data-only SIM...I've struggled to find decent packages of paymonthly - I find it's getting the 12 months that is more valuable than the actual amount of data
3 PAYG 4G Trio Data SIM Pack with 12GB Data £29.98 - Free Delivery | MyMemory

This is such a good deal at this price I'll get one now...

You can get 18gb for £10 from plus net

Yes, but that is only 30 days and you don't need anything like 18gb so it's basically useless as the SIM card for the car. The link that I shared gives you 12 months data, and in that time I've never come close to using the 12Gb.

Obviously depends what you’re doing, I’m streaming HD music and using connect through my phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot so 12gb is useless for that purpose… it’s a 30day rolling contract so no need to sign up for 12months just in case a better deal comes along

Hello All

Can I just ask if the in-bult sim card reader allows access to the SIM after it is locked? I am thinking of getting a dashcam with cloud features for parking mode and need to know if the inbult sim will be the one to use or is it better to buy a mifi that will always be accessible?
