I just got my MACAN 4S - beautiful aventurinigreen.
One thing I noticed, that so far (since 4 days) - it has only been connecting to 4G network, and not 5G.
Could not find any documentation on hardware modules installed - question: does it have a 5G module installed or is it just the network connection ??
Of note - in Switzerland we have a 5GB 5G data pass with Swisscom - so I am pretty sure there is a solid 5 G network around.
Thanks for the info!

Interesting, noticed something similar + it always shows just one bar of signal, which combined with the app having problems with transferring data to/form the vehicle sometimes suggests something is off...

My 4S connects to both 5G and 4G. Here is a picture a took a while back. In my region in the US, cellphone service for the vehicle is provided by Verizon. So whether it’s connected to 5G vs 4G depends on the signal strength in the area where I am.

Thanks for the info.
According to the Swisscom contract, they should offer the 5GB in their 5G network (where available).
Does anyone have 5G reception in their Macan in Switzerland ?
