And it's not just our cars that will be effected:

www.mercurynews.com/2022/02/16/the-3g-shutdown-will-affect-everyday-devices-you-probably-own

"The major carriers are phasing out 3G technology in the United States and some markets abroad. AT&T, which owns CNN’s parent company, is shutting it down on February 22; T-Mobile is doing so in the third quarter; and Verizon will take this step by the end of the year. As the technology officially becomes obsolete, a scramble is underway to help consumers avoid a disruption. A range of products require updates to continue working, including some home alarm systems, medical devices such as fall detectors, and in-car crash notification and roadside assistance systems such as General Motors’ OnStar."

I'm going to say a money grab is taking place by forcing those used to the technology to upgrade I am somewhat shocked by the number of cars affected and some as new as 2020, Shame on the MFR's that continued to use it knowing it was on it's way out. I also Can't help but think there was likely a technical way around this

I have to do software upgrade to my wife's 20 RDX today or before Feb. 22 or some functions might not work , I wonder if this has anything to do with it? Luckily it only takes a few minutes and can be done at home not at a dealer. Update: Did it successfully only took about 20 minutes. I am wondering if I will have to do the same on my 21 Ram 1500 , I haven't heard anything as of now?

And it is going to continue, many phone manufacturers will only guarantee updates and support for 2 or 3 years on certain models. Other models, get no assurance of future support at all.

My 68 dart still runs great without any "G" whatever

Not even gas?

Yeah it could run on ethanol

how far back in model years does 3G go ?

according to the list. it looks like some models started using it in 2014. some use it until 2020.

It's been around since 2001 but usage in various applications ?

Things like this are why I'm moving back to an older truck with LESS computer BS

There are software updates online for this issue. I just upated my wife's 2016 Cherokee.

EXACTLY.

I hope to be getting 3G...at launch when I hit the gas!
