RC Pro SIM?

[gcopter1]

So yesterday, I bought an A2S, Fly More, RC Pro bundle.
Previously, I've owned a Phantom, Spark, M2 and the FPV.

Haven't flown it yet, awaiting on a set of DJI goggles...

Reading here and there, I've seen posts mentioning something about using a sim card for internet access.
Looking at my RC Pro, I see no place to install a sim card.

Was this, sim card ability, available in previous iterations of the smart controllers?

There is nothing mentioned about the ability to insert a SIM Card in the RC Pro controller. To me that means it's not possible. Maybe someone else has a better idea.

I just use the hotspot in my vehicle, or on my phone if I need to connect to wifi with the RC Pro.

I saw the options greyed out in the settings for the RCP. I would love to put a si in mine for 14 a month with our current family cell plan. I have not noticed a sime card slot but I am flying and mainly look at the screen adn drone when flying.

I was just curious about that topic and removed two screws to take a look under the hood of the RC Pro.
Looks like that a separate 4G module will go in there in the future which will hold the SIM card and will be connected to that male USB C sticking out from the right and to that antenna cable.

What do you think?

That IS an antenna connector.

Yes, those connections are for the 4G Cellular module DJI has for the Mavic 3 series. Allows for control and video signals over the cellular network when the O3+ connection is degraded (flight behind an object or at far distances). One module goes into the RC Pro and another attaches to the Mavic 3 via a 'backpack' system they designed with a short USB-C cables that plugs into the drone. Both modules require SIM cards and a cellular subscription. However they will never be for sale in the USA market. My understanding is that they are only for sale/use within mainland China.
