Default 2017 S3 Audi Connect

First off, I'm a new owner of a 2017 Nano Gray S3 with Dynamic/Tech package.

I have been playing around with the car ever since and have been having problems with the Audi Connect/WiFi connection. I insert my own (T-Mobile SIM card) into the empty slot and changed the APN settings to "fast.t-mobile.com" with hopes that it would work. However, ever since changing the APN settings of the car I am now not able to eiher connect to Audi Connect or use the Wifi Hotspot connection. If I leave the APN settings blank, I will have access to Audi Connect, but will not be able to use the internet connection when connecting to the Wifi. Changing the APN settings to "broadband" (AT&T's APN), the internet connection starts working, but Audi Connect will stop working.

Does anyone by any chance have the original APN for the car?

BTW, here is a picture of the car (more pictures coming soon)

You should be able to perform a factory reset to restore the original settings. The SIM slot is disabled in the US as far as I know. The new 4G systems have a built-in eSIM. There have been vagcom mods published on the A4 forum for how to enable the SIM slot, but it can only be used for the Wifi hotspot. Audi connect uses the eSIM.
