An owner of an Audi Q4 E-Tron opted out of paying for tri-zone climate control, an optional add-on in regions outside of the U.S. and U.K. that costs $758. However, the HVAC "Sync" button was still present within the vehicle, and upon being pressed, displayed a message on the infotainment screen that read "the function has not been purchased." This incident foreshadowed Audi's pivot towards subscription-based car features.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Stumpf \|first=Rob \|date=1 Apr 2022 \|title=Audi Owner Finds Basic HVAC Function Paywalled After Pressing the Button for It \|url=https://www.thedrive.com/news/44967/audi-owner-finds-basic-hvac-function-paywalled-after-pressing-the-button-for-it#:~:text=In%20Denmark%2C%20where%20this%20particular%20owner%20told%20us%20they%E2%80%99re%20based%2C%20the%20add%2Don%20costs%20around%20$758%20(5%2C114%20Kroner).%20The%20owner%20acknowledged%20that%20they%20chose%20against%20purchasing%20it%20but%20didn%E2%80%99t%20expect%20pressing%20the%20button%20to%20display%20a%20message. \|access-date=21 Aug 2025 \|website=The Drive}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|date=2 Apr 2022 \|title=Audi Driver Horrified After Basic Functionality Hidden Behind Paywall \|url=https://carbuzz.com/news/audi-q4-e-tron-owner-stunned-by-paywall-block-on-climate-control-feature/#:~:text=When%20a%20feature,not%20been%20purchased%22. \|access-date=21 Aug 2025 \|website=CarBuzz}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|last=Gilboy \|first=James \|date=3 Nov 2023 \|title=Audi Will Paywall More Software Features Starting Next Year \|url=https://www.thedrive.com/news/audi-will-paywall-more-software-features-in-future-cars \|access-date=21 Aug 2025 \|website=The Drive}}</ref>
