Hi, Has anyone been successful at activating their sim card reader in a 2019 Q5? In North America we are locked to the esim which has poor coverage in Canada, so I want to use the sim card from a better carrier. I have heard that the sim card reader is active in Europe by default but not in NA. Here's some instructions I have found The reason why I want to do this is I get a SOS system error each time I leave cell coverage and its driving me crazy.

I followed those steps and no issues with a 2018 Q5 and also an A4 2017. The eSim will remain active until you insert the new SIM card and if removed will go back to the eSIM again.

I have a 2018 Q5 and cannot get it to work. When the prompt comes up to enter APN info pressing OK doesn't do anything, it just stays on the same screen. Using ROGERS sim, the sim works everywhere else.
How did you get yours to work?

Did you have any luck with this ? I used caristaapp with android. There is one option that says activate phone in the vehicle but it did nothing for me but messing up my phone settings. Then I activated the green menu, but audi 2017 + have the green menu GEM 4.11s, which doesn't have anything related to the NAD functions available in the old green menus. Can anyone help please

I’ve made some progress but not much. In addition to the original post, I did long coding for Byte 15 phone NAD, this did activate the SIM and also enabled the APN settings, however, when I try to select network manually the car couldn’t find any networks. I’d assume there might be differences between US and EU mobile networks and/or modems…
