   3G Wireless Network Shutdown Means Your

   As 3G networks shut down in 2022, some cars can be upgraded - but   
   others will lose the feature for good   
      
   As wireless carriers prepare to shut down their 3G networks over the   
   coming months, millions of cars may lose the ability to automatically   
   contact first responders after a crash. Some vehicles just need a   
   software or hardware upgrade, but others-including vehicles from   
   Chrysler, Dodge, Hyundai, Jeep, Lexus, Nissan, Ram, and Toyota-will   
   lose their connections permanently.   
      
   Automatic crash notification, which alerts first responders after a   
   crash via a built-in cellular connection, often relies on aging 3G   
   cellular networks to connect drivers with emergency services and share   
   a vehicle's location. Even though automakers have been aware that   
   these networks are shutting down permanently between February and   
   July, many manufacturers still relied on it until as recently as the   
   2021 model year.
