tankeen86 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hi, I have recently purchased a 2018 A4. When trying to set up Audi connect, it asks for the 10 digit code which would have been supplied with the car when it was sold from new. However, as I bought the car second hand, I don't have this code. Is it a simple task to get this code, or do I have to contact an Audi dealer? I want to update the maps on my sat nav, and from what I see I need to have Audi Connect enabled to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julezmc1977 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I am in that exact same position and will call Audi customer service tomorrow to find out what I need to do. Sales guy wasn鈥檛 exactly informative but it was a Saturday click聽and collect. If you find out first post here 馃憤 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I鈥檓 in the same position and called my local dealer for a new key user 10 digit code. They quoted me 拢70 for a new code which I wasn鈥檛 sure if it鈥檚 worth paying , so I鈥檝e left it and will try working on them again at a later date.

Julezmc1977 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 My car was 15 months old and comes with the balance of Audi Connect. So, they have ordered a new tag at no cost. I haven鈥檛 yet received it mind you.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheITGuy Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 The Audi Connect on my 2016 A4 expired a couple of weeks ago (after being renewed FOC by Audi last year).聽 This time they weren't so generous and I'm now 拢141 out of pocket 馃槥 Glen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julezmc1977 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Hi Glen, I received my code yesterday and to be honest am a little disappointed. I can see how much fuel I have and other information that鈥檚 available whilst in the car anyway. So, the connect really only allows me to open the car from anywhere in the world. Not, sure I need to do that either.聽 聽 I was hoping it would start the car on a cold day at the very least. Unless I鈥檓 missing something I could live without it. Maybe there are more features I鈥檓 not aware of? 聽Perhaps need to explore in more detail. Julian聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheITGuy Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 TBH I only need it for online traffic updates for the Sat Nav..... Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankeen86 Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 I haven't contacted a dealer yet about getting the code, and I probably won't bother if I'm being honest. Although I would like to try out android auto, I know its something I would use for a few days, and then the novelty would wear off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsb Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Hi, I am in the same position just bought an A8 and to sign up to myaudi need this 10 digit code. Called my local Audi dealer and was quoted 拢57 to 拢70.聽 I think this is an absolute rip off!聽 Not impressed with聽Audi.聽 I bought a BMW, registration to my BMW was painless, yes you have to pay for any packages but at least you can see what is available. Is it worth signing up to my Audi? 聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanquish Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hi all, I'm in the same position too. Apple CarPlay seems to work fine if I plug my phone in via a cable into the USB socket but does I need the vehicle code/Audi Connect for Apple CarPlay to work wirelessly? Also do I need it to view the car's service history? I'm wondering if it's worth paying an Audi dealer for the code. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2018 of model is unlikely to support wireless carplay (or android auto)聽 If you sign to myaudi /audi connect then you get access to the Internet other features.聽 If you want more than that then you need to register as the key user and that requires the dealer getting you 10 digit code.聽 CarPlay will work independently of this.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julezmc1977 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 My vehicle was first registered October 2019 but even with Audi Connect it doesn鈥檛 support wireless Apple CarPlay.聽 聽 live traffic updates and a couple of other features make it useful but not sure I would pay for it being honest.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambroise Somian Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I am in the exact position with a second hand 2016 Audi A4. the map is very old and I don't have this ten digit key to update anything. I am very frustrated about this situation聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick B Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 My connect licence ran out from two years back. Not all at once but apart from traffic updates,it鈥檚 just unnecessary toys. Didn鈥檛 bother and certainly don鈥檛 miss it. Audi don鈥檛 really need to charge.Do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
