Hi All;

There is this ongoing discussion about SIM card. Some say there is no SIM card. Please check the attached file to find out how to access the onboard SIM card.
As you will see there is a SIM card reader and a SIM card in there but my dealer told me that it is a 1.5 hour job. And the vehicle has to be put into inactive mode.

Wow...... that is not easy to access. Then what is the another slot? Did dealer told you what it is?
Anyway thanks for share the documents.

The other slot will function in the future. Volvo will keep the one buried in the trunk for OTA updates.

Hello,

Volvo doesn't support my country so we don't have data from the builtin sim. Am I to understand that if this sim swapped as per the above PDF, we could have data?

thanks!

Sorry, but I think your documentation is for the ICE (gas-powered) XC40's - is it not?

There is a "user SIM" slot on our XC40 Recharge EVs in the overhead panel near the sunroof controls. But it's always been inactive, and would require a software update to enable. I'm guessing this SIM slot might be used in the future when our "free" Google data plans expire, allowing the user to provide their own data plan. But who knows?

Our "free" Google data plans are provisioned via an embedded E-SIM chip built into the TCAM module.

I doubt it. You'd have to check with Volvo in your country. In most other countries, it seems the XC40 Recharge EVs come with provided Google data plans - provisioned via the embedded E-SIM chip.
