You are still required to carry chains, even with AWD & snows. I've been through chain control a number of times in my AWD Audi (with summer tires) and never had them give me any trouble about using chains (despite my summer itres), but they do insist that you carry chains.

FWIW, I've never felt the need for snows with my Audi.
