    Audi Wi-Fi disables mobile internet on my phone

    Thanks for bringing this up, I have exactly the same issue. I naively thought the full package (3 years Audi connect) brought with it some element of general internet access for the connected devices - phone, ipad etc. It clearly doesn't. Allanmb is bang-on in his summary - the phone assumes...
