- If you use your own SIM card, all data connections for all Audi connect infotainment services will use it. Depending on your network provider, you may be charged for this service, especially if you are using the system abroad. We therefore strongly recommend that you use an unlimited data plan. For more information, contact your service provider.
- In certain cases, the data connection for the Wi-Fi hotspot is established via the SIM card of your Wi-Fi device as a substitute. This depends on the configuration of your Wi-Fi device and operating system. Depending on your network provider, this may incur charges, especially if you are using the system abroad. We therefore strongly recommend that you use an unlimited data plan. For further information, contact your mobile network service provider or refer to the operating instructions for your Wi-Fi device.
- To avoid damaging the SIM card reader, only use mini SIM cards (25 mm x 15 mm). Please contact your mobile network service provider for more information on mini SIM cards.
- Should you have inserted a different SIM card size in the SIM card reader, do not under any circumstances attempt to remove it yourself as this may damage the SIM card reader. Please contact a qualified workshop.
- If you use SIM card adapters, the vibrations caused by the movement of the vehicle may cause the SIM card to become detached from the adapter - risk of damage to the SIM card reader.
