Info: Vodafone PAYG SIM APN Settings
Wanting to cheaply test out the SIM slot in my car I picked up a Vodafone PAYG pack at Tesco (no charge for this). I added a fiver's worth of credit, popped the SIM in the slot and...nothing. Kept getting 'The data connection could not be opened. Please try again later.'
After much research and messing about the default APN (ie connection) settings were wrong. Correct ones to use (for PAYG!) in Tel> Data connection > Connection settings are: APN: pp.vodafone.co.uk Username: wap Password: wap Authentication: Normal Finally, Audi connect works. Is it worth it? Hmmm.... |

Well at least your mmi reads the sim. My damn one does not recognise any sim.

Yes - so I saw from a previous thread. Do you get any message when you insert a SIM? I started off with a Three SIM which as I now know won't work on early cars and got a message advising to check the SIM.

I tried Neeldub EE sim also no joy. Only thing I can do now is update the SW as it’s factory version. Again will have to wait on Neel as I don’t have SW update. I see you recently updated yours? Was it easy and did you purchase it from the Stealers?
My data connection is grayed out. So basically it does not at all pick up any sim! I will try to clean the connectors with IPA on some perfume testing paper me thinks.

Really unlikely to be a physical issue with the SIM card slot. If you have an android handset that supports rSAP you can test the theory by accessing the SIM via bluetooth and see if the connection works?
