You really need to spend some time playing around with the settings. I spent two evenings sitting in the car, changing settings to see what they would do and looking up stuff I didn't understand.

There is a setting to shut it off. The menu is on the screen. Please note there is a settings menu for the dashboard screen as well. Lots of good stuff in there.


ETA I had a warning light on my dashboard. Because I had connectivity turned on I got a notification in the Ford Pass App which said to call the dealer. When I got to the dealer they already had the information in their computer system. It's very useful.

With connected vehicles it's entirely possible Ford is monitoring issues those trucks are having and are making response plans to cure those issues. Some issues could be fixed online!

The first time I met my dealer he says to me: "You do understand that these trucks are basically a rolling computer". I took it as a warning, given my age. :ROFLMAO: I laughed and said no problem, aren't they all these days more or less? Yeah, good advice, just sit in the truck and push buttons and see what happens. Page 369 in the manual? How many bloody pages are there? LOL.

Maybe I should download the manual now and start reading. Hahahahahaha.

Pull fuse 11 from the fusebox in the cabin. That disables the 'telematics control module.'

The car tracks all of your activity and sends it to Ford for monetization. This is not okay.

Or you can just turn it off.

Yes. EXCEPT...turning it off in the menu seems to not actually turn it off. There's still cellular chatter. What's in the chatter remains unknown.

Never trust the menu toggles.

There were 3-4 pages just on automatic high beam headlights things like what speeds they will come on and go off. When camera sees tail lights in front of truck it turns them off. If it sees someone's porch light it may turn high beams off, etc...
