I believe in Ford’s case, you have to activate FordPass. Once activated, you have agreed to give them your vehicle data forever. I agree that sadly our privacy has been “trail-rated” for years. (another off road joke) 😁
At some point, legislation is going to need to be passed to stop this stuff.
This is just Android/Google finally replacing Sync. Say goodbye to what was left of any privacy in your car.
Also, I don't think I've seen any Android Automotive setups that still had manual controls. I could be wrong, but it seems like they all go full retard and remove AC and radio controls...
Very strange. I do remember the site acting a bit strange yesterday.

Granger Ford is the real deal for sure.
I can't see the painted top being harder to care for than the MIC top (gray molded). I mean, the MIC top sets the bar really low. :LOL:
@Granger Ford usually has the best price around if you're planning on ordering a Bronco the way you want it. No crazy fees. Honest and friendly people. Just have to calculate in shipping it from Iowa to Florida. Lot's of recommendation on the forum for using them (including me).
