After several months of thinking there was something wrong with the Audi Connect system, which should let you send a satnav destination directly from Google Maps to the car, it turns out that the neither Google nor Audi’s operating instructions were clear.

I’ve discovered I’ve been trying the ‘wrong’ ID. Google says to use the ID given by the manufacturer, when you should use one that you create. An Audi expert who went through my settings didn’t know about this either, but now it’s working, I love being able to send destinations straight from my desktop computer to the car and now think the Connected option is worth the £1800 option cost.
