I can only think now they offer 4G. It’s definitely 4G on the icon on the right hand side. I disconnected my phone and it wasn’t connected showing a phone with a line through it in the left hand corner.
Well, probably a prepaid data sim. I have one that cost me € 30 with 3Gb.
But fun factor is : dit replacing the module make is 4G, which it was not before..
That is a 'must-know' for others with a 3G problem..
Since JLR says its impossible to upgrade !
But it makes sense. Since the third-party supplier stopped making 3G a while ago,
Just updated it to 4G on-the-go..
Yes I registered it in vodaphone and shows as a ‘Sure Signal’ tariff. These don’t seem to be sold anymore.
As Ive only recently just got the car, and it being in the dealership for 3 weeks or so, I wasn’t paying too much attention it if it showed 3G previously. Will see if I took any photos of the dash when I picked it up.
"..Has anyone on here looked in to "upgrading" the 3G modem in a 2017 model to the 4G model from a more recent model?.. "
So it seems that replacing the SIM module in the centre console "upgrades" the 3G--> 4G.
Probably beyond JLR knowledge as the third-party supplier only makes 4G and just produces a module that complies with the specs of the original 3G module. I dunno what these modules cost, fitting is a diddle since my dealer replaced my defect 4G-->4G in 15 minutes.. (in my Range Rover , but its the same principle ; switching the module).
Well, labout costs can hardly be an issue if it takes 15 mins.
Just inform with a dealer what a new module costs including fitting.
If this is more then GBP 250 , it might be worth to take it to JLR after sales.
Contact JLR and point out that under EU consumer law (applicable as it was bought before BREXIT),
a durable consumer product should be usable for 10 years/ Hence : JLR has to pay...

I would say that it is more the TELEMATICS module that needs replacing, and not the SIM Module in the centre console!!
The telematics module is in the rear behind the panels in the boot.
From what I can see from photos, the connectors all seem the same, so I don't see why it would NOT work, but JLR seem to be CLUELESS and don't know if it can be done or not.
I have also contacted JLR Customer Services, and the reply from them was "contact your dealer".
2B... Maybe I am being stupid, but I cannot see anyone saying they replaced the SIM module... They DID however replace the Telematics Module (even gave the part number).
If I am being thick and didn't read properly please correct me!!
