Audi and T-Mobile USA Offer Unlimited In-vehicle Data Plan

Audi of America and T-Mobile USA announced a new data plan for in-vehicle connectivity, enabling Audi owners to get real-time news, weather and fuel prices, access to Google Earth and Google Voice Local Search and enable passengers to enjoy broadband connectivity on up to 8 Wi-Fi devices.  Audi is offering a 6-month trial to buyers of new vehicles.  After that, customers can pay $450 for full data services over 30 months (equaling $15 per month) or $30 on a month-to-month basis.


“Audi and T-Mobile worked closely to develop the new pricing plan based on extensive research and feedback from both dealers and customers,” said Anupam Malhotra, Senior Manager, Connected Vehicle, Audi of America. “The T-Mobile-powered Audi connect service delivers unmatched connectivity to our customers at a rate that will turn their Audi into the ultimate mobile device. This plan will help move us toward the goal of one million connected Audi vehicles on the road worldwide by 2015.”
