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.
