So I have already turned off communication with Ford in the Sync 4 infotainment settings (not looking to make this political or conspiratorial - just technical). Still there is a SIM card and modem buried behind the infotainment screen that could still be sharing my private driving data with Ford and data brokers. I have searched the 6G forum to answer to what I am asking without specific result. Fuse 20 under the dash is for the "telematics modem" but it also states in the owners manual fuse 19 is "ignition switch. headlamps". From the fuse diagrams I have been looking at fuse 19 and 20 seem to be integrated into the same three prong fuse, so if I pull that three prong fuse 19/20 I will disable the telematics modem and the ignition and headlights (no surprise Ford would make this hard). Am I correct on this? Is there a work around on pulling that fuse and maintaining ignition and headlights?
