Maybe this one will at least let you accept the fact that you are dead wrong !!!!
yet you still have no source that ford is storing "photos, emails, browsing history and files" like you originally claimed was 100% true. this image from a mach-e doesn't prove anything that you said was happening. just admit you were incorrect about that baseless claim and move on.
I suppose you think this guy is lying?
wow...another random forum post with 0 actual evidence that it's happening from 8 years ago.
because what you've claimed at the start of this thread IS conspiracy theory. you were adamant that ford was saving "photos, browsing history, files and emails", you provided no actual proof and then you got mad because you got called out.
Now we'll move on to the pictures and photos. On my Bronco I can see the phone contacts pictures or icons that I have selected to put with the contact as information on my Android phone. When I pull up the contacts on Ford Sync I can see all of the pictures that are on my contacts. When I send a message or receive a call from one of these contacts that has a picture the picture is displayed very big on the screen and I can see exactly who I'm talking to or texting. On an Android phone the contacts is actually an application, and this application has access to the photos on the phone that this is why you can get a thumbnail picture attached to the contact because the app has access to the photos. Ford Sync as full access to the contacts. So yes in a way Ford Sync has access to some of your pictures on your phone and does save them along with the contacts. Why this might not be a concern to most folks it depends on how you use the pictures on your phone. For example there's several people that I really don't like that I still have to have contacts with and I have a horrible picture of them as the thumbnail to remind myself of what a terrible person they are. On the other hand I have a nice picture of my wife's breasts for her contact picture, so while I'm in the car and I get a call from the wife her boobs pop up on the main screen this is fantastic Until you realize that her twins are probably saved on the sync system forever. If you use your imagination you can you can come up with other ways that this is intrusive and in some cases could be used in a legal battle between spouses and any groovy attorney could get a subpoena for whatever records They want to pull out in a civil case and I'm sure Ford would gladly comply.
One way to find out if SYNC keeps those contact photos is to leave your phone behind and see if the photos still show up in contacts. As for my 5G SYNC3, I've never seen photos on contacts in the display.
It doesn't work that way once you disconnect your phone you cannot see any contacts until you are able to open Android auto. That does not mean that the contacts are not saved it just means that you cannot view them without a dialer or SMS device attached with either Android auto or carplay. Other cars are designed differently as I have rented many still have the previous renters phone info and contact saved on the main screen menu and are clearly visible because they did not erase them before they release the car back to the rental company.
then how do you" leave the phone behind " as you stated in previous post if your hooked up to blue tooth? makes no sense....I will try and Bluetooth only hookup and see wht the results are. I even called "fords team of experts" who spewed out more misinformation...they don't even know the system shows thumbnail pics...what retards.
Well so are Google, Apple and your wireless company. We live in a surveillance economy, you can't fart without it being uploaded into multiple databases.
