Disabling tracking device......

[Dingus83]

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.

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.

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.

Do OTA updates come from the cellular modem or wifi?

I always thought the modem

True but, your driving habits won't be recorded and sold to insurers and raise your rates. Are you an advocate of the 4th amendment violating ALPR's too ?

You can agree or disagree with the vehicle tech, but unless the government is tracking you this isn't a Constitutional issue.

That's the rub, the ALPR companies won't guarantee FEDS don't have access. Are you one of the few that trust governments in general ?

How can you expect a guarantee? If they get a court order compelling them to provide information, you expect them to defy that?

Either way, your argument there is with the government. That was my point.

Fuse #8 under the steering wheel panel for anyone interested.

What year rangers does this apply to and won't that also disable automatic software updates?

No authority has the right to track without a warrant and/or consent.

You could also just turn off the data you don't want to share.

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

Would your omnipotent space wizard be down with you acting very un-christlike by calling people names?

To reply to the tin foil hat comments above:
We live in a time where thieves can use a relay device outside your door and manipulate your fob hanging up inside to start your car and take it away. I think I would be foolish to assume that the code running the connected vehicle system does not include a hidden kill switch which would be intended for law enforcement. I'm not worried about the police or government here. Intertwined private companies are involved here. I may not have anything to hide about were I go and what I do. But private companies that have information to stop my truck does bother me, particularly if this information is stolen or sold to shady data brokers. I think it is a matter time before criminal gangs use this type of connectivity to target and stop cars so they can do what they want to do.
