Took delivery of new A6 last week, which has MMI Plus with the Tech Pack. After the initial disappointment of neither my personal iPhone or work Windows Phone connecting to the car via the (bizarrely rare?) rSAP (Remote SIM Access protocol - which only seems to work for _some_ Samsung phones?) for data use, I resorted to buying a pre-pay SIM whilst I worked out how much data I was going to "typically" use month on month.
I just wondered if anyone out there is actually using the MMI Data services? Mainly - for me - Google Earth view on the SatNav which is superb... but also things like Petrol (gas) prices, Parking, City Events... per other threads Facebook is no longer available, seemingly because they stopped their API.
Anyway... on a 380 mile round trip, I had Google Earth view on the SatNav the whole time. I would imagine that apart from a Software or Map update, Google Earth would be the single biggest use of data, but I only used just under 200Mb of Data in total. I am only going to do about 800 miles a month max, so that's easily manageable on a 1Gb data only mobile. Given that the car manual informs me that Google Earth map imagery is stored - up to 2Gb - this will also help with minimising data use further as I typically travel the same routes.
Just wondered what everyone else was using data-wise on MMI...?
