I’ve tried to switch on the Car Modem Internet and get the message shown below.

From other posts on here it seems like new cars come with a 12 month SIM. Is that another feature that has been removed from newer model years or am I missing something?

Is it worth buying a SIM? What is it used for other than downloading maps? Can I connect the car to the internet over my phone for downloading maps, etc?

By the way, the fingerprints on the screen look way worse on the picture than they do when I’m sat in the car.

You should have it. They haven’t stopped providing them for new cars. Mine was installed but not set up. I was given a sheet of instructions from the dealer. Worked well.
I will post a picture of the instructions if you want.

I would check to see if the SIM card is in the slot first. If not, call the dealer!

This looks strange. It looks like the SIM is present as it is showing as an ICON at top of the screen that you have shown.

As mentioned, first physically check there's a SIM fitted. When I recently replaced mine recently it was very easy to get at and check.

If it's fitted it may not have been activated, seem to recall a similar message when my free for first year voda SIM expired.

Once you sort the sim card out look to get a Brotect matte Xc40 screen protector off eBay or Amazon. It will reduce those fingerprints and glare as well as protecting the screen.

My car was delivered in November, the SIM was not installed, nor was i given it by the dealer.

I went back to them and they claimed they knew nothing about it. Emailed Volvo customer care and they confirmed the dealer would provide the sim so i went back to them with the email and then it turned up!! Be persistent with them if they initially say no

Setting up is a pain in the a***

Due to a loathing for Vodaphone built up over years, the first thing I did was take their card out and put in the 3 one I got on a deal. The 🌐 came up and no "set up" required. I've still got the Voda one and an happy to post it to anyone FOC.
