Correct. They'll connect to 5G if there's a signal but revert to 4G when there isn't one. If you don't have a lot of 5G towers in your area it's best to turn it off as it can run the battery down constantly looking for a 5G signal.

Okay who are you?Ed I use this magnet mount here. I've had it for over 3 years now and it works great with my 5G phone. I'm using an Otterbox commuter case and have the disc fixed to the back side of the case.
I know you're not Dave, he has an arsenal of 303 products that would never allow dust like that in his Ranger!
Sheesh, looks as bad as mine!

I use a wireless charger that mounts securely to the air vent on passenger side, facing me. The arms extend a retract automatically. For power I plug it into one of the 5V recepticles on the back of the center console. I use the M1 wireless device to connect the phone for AAuto.

yes, of course. But i‘am lazy and let the gas boiler do the work. I have equipped the entire house with low-temperature surface heating circuits, which react very slowly and because the temperatures here are again around 0 degrees, so it has gotten a little warmer, it heats a little less. over 1 to 2 days everything regulates itself back up to a pleasant 21 degrees. If I'm not too lazy to heat up with the wood-burning stove, I don't need a sweater during this time either.

Unless you have an iPhone or a Samsung, whose internal switching software and antennaes suck. Then you'll get dropped calls and poor call quality at those 4g/5g switch locations.
Oops...did I say that out loud?

That's why I turned it off about a year ago. I get a good 5G signal here at the house but it's spotty in most places. While I never had any dropped calls I did notice my battery draining more from constantly looking for a 5G signal. I don't get online much at all on my phone so I really don't care about internet speeds from 5G.
