AT&T's Mobile Share plan will enable customers to share data among phones, tablets and their Audi connected car. AT&T partnered with Audi earlier this year to bring connected car services in its new A3 sedan, and announced this week that the 2015 Audi Q3 will be Audi's next model to offer in-vehicle LTE connection from AT&T.

According to AT&T, with the Mobile Share Plan, customers can connect their Audi car as easy as they connect another device, for example a tablet, with just an additional USD10 access charge per month. As an AT&T customer, car owners can choose the Mobile Share option or purchase a stand-along data plan. With LTE connection, drivers will be able to access the most advanced version of Audi Connect, the in-vehicle connected car service platform offered in Audi's connected cars, including picture navigation, read-aloud news headlines, Facebook and Twitter alerts, access to more than 7,000 Web radio stations, personalized RSS news feeds, and more. 

AT&T said that the new 2015 Audi Q3 will feature more premium features that highlight performance and comfort, including leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, dual zone climate control and xenon headlights and comes with a 200 hp, 2.0 liter engine and a six-speed Tiptronic transmission.
