How to fix android car stereo SIM card showing 4G but no internet connection

#androidheadunit #carplay #rangerover
Quick video to address something that I tried to figure out for a couple months at least. When you have the android head unit with a SIM card inserted and it shows the 4G connection, but still will not connect to the internet. Here’s what you should do.

Man , I have been struggling for my sim 4g to work in my car android. Your video really help. Thank you man🙏👏

[@SublyminalTV]

[@dappa311]

Hi there, I have did everything you said, but I don't even have a 4g signal, my unit shows nothing, I can see that the sim card is installed and it shows the network and number. But the head unit shows no signal at all . Do you have any idea what that might be?

[@topgear4kidz523]

My sanpdragon 4g unit worked for the first few weeks after that one day it showed 4g but internet wasn't working, i tried everything to the point i gave up started using WiFi! About a week ago i accidentally came across your video, amd i did exactly what you said I'm in the uk and using ee so i did the apn settings for ee and lo behold it started working again after more than a year i just wanted to say Thank you for this video 🙏 I've subscribed yo also thnaks man...

Sir are you using a data only sim and how much data a month did you buy. 1 more thing how much for the plan. I have att also for phone service. I looked at simple mobile and unlimited is 90 bucks for 3 months. Looking for the most bang for the buck. Thanks for the info, it will come in handy when I make a move

[@dappa311]

Hi there , I have fixed my problem! To anybody having an issue with connection or no signal bar, what you need to do is , take the sim you bought and place it into your phone or tablet and make sure it connects and registers to the network, then take it out and place it in the Android head unit and it should work. For some reason if you try to place it directly in the head unit , it doesn't register with Tmobile or the carrier, it has to register through a phone or tablet and then once teh network see's it , you can place it in the head unit and it should work. Hopes this helps someone.

Just subbed bro. How do the 24s ride? Would you prefer the OEM 22s over the 24s?

[@SublyminalTV]

Thanks for the sub bro means a lot! Honestly, I like the 24 inch better. So much so I have two sets. I’m going to sell one set to replace with another set. Also 24 inch. I feel like With the size of the vehicle, the air suspension etc….it Carries it well. Smooth ride overall. You just have to get the right tire size.

All good in Australia you can phone from head unit but android phone apps for head unit are very ordinary.

[@tommyboy2517]

Tmobile works by default. It's the other networks that don't work in these units.

[@SublyminalTV]

My T-Mobile one wasn’t working. I thought I wouldn’t get it to work according to T-Mobile due to the unit being 4G and the sim 5G. I’m just glad overall I got it to work because the unit is a much better experience with a sim card

[@tedslife7086]

Have to tried mobile mint ? My friends like just use your hot spot Ted I'm like yea lets just burn up my data on my cell service such a great idea ..lol

[@SublyminalTV]

I haven’t. But also using your phone hotspot will not give you the same results with these radios. Hard to explain in short text, but if you are using hotspot it won’t allow you to connect to the radio’s WiFi to bounce back and forth from CarPlay to the browser. If that makes sense
