Is anyone aware of this ? I've hardly seen it anywhere. Basically you pair your smartphone to the car somehow, and you can use your phone to unlock the car by holding it against the doorhandle, and can start the car by putting your smartphone in the Audi phone box. I've googled it and can't find any info really other than the description of it on the Audi site.
The reason I ask is my car has yet to arrive, but I grabbed my VIN off the tracker, and am going through the Audi Connect setup on the website. But at the end of the setup, it says this:
Has anyone been through this process of setting up Audi connect, and if so did you complete the setup at the dealership, and did the dealer setup your phone as an 'Audi connect key' as per below ? I want to complete the Audi Connect setup online ready for when I get the car, but I can't do that if I need to complete the setup at the dealer to use my smartphone as the key. The other options to complete setup are to get emailed an mTAN code over phone or email, but I don't want to do this if I can't use the connect key service!

Verification of your data
It is necessary to check that your personal data is correct for security reasons. Verification is designed to ensure that you have personally completed the key user agreement. To do this, please select one of the available verification methods.
Depending on the selected verification method, you will then receive an mTAN or you will need to visit your Audi partner.
Please note that you may require an internet or mobile network connection, depending on the verification method.
NOTE: To use the Audi connect key service, select verification at dealership.
