Using the SIM card slot UK
I'm trying to get my head around the SIM slot, Audi cordless phone in the console, and using my own phone hands-free.
If I put a SIM in the slot, isn't it useless anyway as 3G is being turned off?

I have a SIM in mine and phones used in the car can then access the outside via the cars, more powerful, arial.

Yes, exactly so. When you've inserted your SIM, open the part of your phone that finds available internet connections and select your car. It will be called Audi and some additional characters. I can't recall the exact procedure but it is intuitive and takes you where you need to go. Good luck.

I need to check. I can see that 3G is being switched off in the UK but I thought my car was still connecting. Hmm

It depends on your network! According to OFCOM (who ought to know):
Vodafone completed its switch-off in early 2024. EE completed its switch-off in early 2024. Three expects to switch-off by the end of 2024. O2 is planning to switch-off in 2025. I certainly regularly get 3G on my phone on Giffgaff (O2).

I don't know what network Tesla use, it also often drop down to 3G but it's almost unusably slow when it does that.
