not concerned about Santa, NORAD’s keeping tabs on him…

Now Flock, that’s another story

All the local government or insurance company has to do is look at the difference between the timestamps from two different cameras to know if you’re speeding.

They can easily automate the tickets or insurance rate increases
I've not heard of them doing that and I think law enforcement is too lazy, speed cameras provide that info anyways. The original post was more about insurance carriers.

Doesn't that disable all the Ford Pass features, like remote start, scheduled start, and any info on the App?

You can disable sharing in the settings, or do these settings do nothing?

Connected Vehicle Settings

You can adjust several settings on the touchscreen under the connected vehicle features menu, such as:
  • Vehicle connectivity.
  • Share vehicle data.
  • Share vehicle location.
  • Share driving data.
Note: Depending on your vehicle, different options may be available.
Note: Editing connectivity settings could result in some features not operating correctly or at all. When you edit connectivity settings, pop-up messages may appear to notify you that services will not work without that setting. If you switch a feature on, pop-up messages could appear informing you of the settings that will be turned on. Some features, for example driver assistance features, use map data. We recommend having all connected vehicle settings enabled to allow the map content to be updated to the latest version.

Yes, it will disable all Ford Pass useage, which I'd be fine with. I don't use apps to start my cars. Only reason I havent disconnected yet is because you lose out on over the air updates.

As far as I understand you can reinstall the fuse and still update, everything else works as intended.

I don't use the app to reduce data collection and the remote start feature works as intended.

You can pop the fuse back in for updates, I regularly use the remote fob start.

True, though I had heard some manufacturers' vehicles will store months (years?) worth of data, and as soon as you plug her back in, it all gets sent to the mothership!

It's unable to collect the data without a back up power source.

ITT some people have such interesting lives that they believe Ford is interested in what/where they go/do in their truck. Take off the tin foil hats and everything will be okay.
Ford doesn't care, what they care about is the revenue selling it to data collectors. Tin foil hats you say ? Read the cliff notes on the released Epstein files you naive twit.
