It is actually dumber than that.

It wants to use my phone to make a call and transmit the data like an old school modem. There’s not built in modem in the car as far as I can tell. It’s a 2013 Focus Titanium.

And it can't because ~~new phones don't use 3G?~~ cell providers shut down 3G services in 2022?
