I have had it working on a couple of 2015 loaners I had, in the UK you get a three year licence on a new car that has to be activated within 6 months or else you loose it. The traffic information made the screen seem more cluttered and sometimes was of questionable value over the TMC you get as standard, listing queues where there were clearly not any and routing around them! After three years you pay a subscription I believe!?
On an "early" car you will struggle, I got mine coded properly but it wouldn't download as the VIN wasn't in the whitelist on the Audi servers. You could maybe get around that by editing a file on the 5F unit (done using a script on a SD card, not VCDS) to clone a VIN from a newer car that has a licence, but probably frowned upon legally and you run the risk of bricking the 5F, needing to re-install/authorise your maps and possibly component protection..... Given the small perceived value I didn't bother playing any further....
