Hey all, just got my new ranger and love it, but I don't love fordpass. I don't really see the app being useful nor do I care to use the wifi hotspot the truck provides. I also don't believe that vehicles should be connected to the internet like this (who remembers that remote jeep hack) and don't really want it phoning home to Ford (seems like APIM updates can periodically be sent to ford without your express permission). So I'm looking at disconnecting the thing.
I've found various posts that detail where the modem is and how to get to it (looks like you just have to drop the glove box), but I'm wondering if anyone has tried disconnecting it and leaving it that way and if they've experienced issues with that.
