Under the agreement, all 2016 models with Audi connect will be delivered to customers with an AT&T SIM card providing connectivity to the AT&T wireless network.

Audi has previously said it plans to deploy 4G LTE network connectivity across its model lineup as new or refreshed models come to the market. In addition to its 4G LTE network being the nation’s most reliable, AT&T said that the network has the nation’s strongest LTE signal.

The new A6, A7, and TT models coming this year will feature the most advanced version of Audi connect including up-to-the-minute traffic information, semi-dynamic route guidance, over the air map updates, and internet radio, in addition to picture navigation, social media, personalized RSS news feeds with read-aloud functionality, and more.

The new Audi connect 4G LTE service will allow faster Google Earth and Google Street View enhancements to MMI navigation plus. The 4G LTE connectivity will also provide new Audi A6, A7, and TT customers faster downloads and high-definition video streaming for up to eight devices used by passengers over the in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot.

An accompanying mobile app will allow advanced functionality between the MMI system and smartphones.

Audi will add convenience by offering a Mobile Share data plan option to AT&T wireless customers who would like to add their vehicle to their existing smartphone or tablet data plan.
