It's not possible to upgrade the modem to 4G.
The modem is part of the main comms board and that alone is ~£1,500. There are also other modules which differ making later modules incompatible with earlier ones. I've attached pics of a later MY comms board. _

If that is indeed a problem where you are, it is possible to run the system off your phone's wi-fi hotspot or a wi-fi hotspot 'wingle' like the Huawei E8372 WiFi/WLAN LTE modem. You could use your current car's SIM card for the wingle.

...until 3G is turned off.
My MY2009 XC90 is 1G / 2G only, and my operator turned off their 2G network this year, rendering my car phone inoperable.

The other issue is that cars that notify the emergency services if the airbags have been deployed have also used 2G, so that's got to be maintained for cars already on the road....

Worry about that when it happens. I did mention that your car could run off a so-called wingle on 4G today if you wish.

But in NORWAY 3G is shutting down ...
I think i better go for a external 4G router/modem like this https://teltonika-networks.com/product/rut240/ |
