myAudi Connect app

Customers can opt for the myAudi Connect app at a cost of Rs 19,999 along with a three-year warranty. The app can be retrofitted to models produced 2011 onwards and features a Vodafone eSim. Here are some of the key features the app provides:

  • Geo-fencing (sets a perimeter for the car)
  • Vehicle health information
  • Real time information on points of interests (tourism spots, hotels, food, weather etc.)
  • Disturbance alert
  • SOS and Road Side Assistance
  • Virtual Storage of documents (allows to store all vehicle related documents safely)
  • Service reminders and service history
  • Service can be scheduled via the app

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)

The augmented reality and virtual reality elements give the customers a realistic and detailed feel of the vehicle they wish to purchase. This AR experience can be had at home and the VR experience at the Audi dealership. If you wish to experience this at your home, an Audi executive can come over with a tablet helping you explore and configure your Audi to the smallest details. On the VR experience, you can not only view the car from outside but also sit in it and operate various controls on the dash. Light and sound effects in the VR headset add to the immersive experience giving it a real and natural touch.
