You have a choice: you can let LexisNexis generate a Driving Score that will then be sold to your insurance company or you can prevent it. The point of this thread was the latter. If you exercised your right to choose the former there is no need for you to comment on the thread.

Yes. Tin foil hat. Boogeyman. All made up. https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2021/09/09/ford-motor-company-lexisnexis-risk-solutions.html

Please learn to read. The very first sentence of this thread was pretty clear:

The Ford rep I spoke to seems to disagree as does the warning popup you receive when connecting FordPass for the first time. Both clearly state a factory reset of the infotainment system is required to turn off the data sharing. The Australian Ford docs posted in this thread also specifically...

Right on, this is good data. This last bit seems to match up with what the rep told me with regard to requiring a factory reset of the infotainment system to "undo" what connecting the FordPass app did.

I'm not saying any of that isn't true. Granted there are things you can do to mitigate it (use an Apple device and turn off the data sharing or use GrapheneOS for an Android phone) they are a bit techy and not for everyone. What we are trying to solve here is specifically an insured vehicle...

After a couple phone calls with them I was transferred to a rep that seemed to actually know what they were talking about. They said that once the FordPass app is connected (which is required to get the reward points) even if you disconnect it and turn off all sub-settings on the Connectivity...

Frightening. If Hyundai can access the vehicle remotely I'd bet dollars to donuts a hacker can pull it off once sufficiently motived. I'd cut power to that modem ASAP. At least tin foil hat guy knows a GPS satellite is unidirectional and a GPS receiver cannot magically send data to space.

GPS is a read-only technology. Turn off the connectivity of your vehicle and delete the FordPass app and that GPS data goes nowhere. You missed the first line of my post friend: I work in the mobile tech world deep in the user data trenches and I can say unequivocally you can either do...

It of course goes much deeper than just Ford but that is the relevant actor for this forum along with a solution to avoid it. I just recently got my LexisNexis data (one of the places Ford sell to) and it has an absurd amount of data points (hundreds of pages) with GPS location data amongst...

If you don't care about Ford siphoning your driving data and selling it disregard this thread. For those that do I just learned that even if you turn off all data sharing features in the settings -> connectivity section (after connecting the FordPass app) Ford still steals your data. The only...

Count me in on a fully retractable 2-door soft top similar to the function/fit of a standard Wrangler soft top. Second thing I would love to see is a mesh top that covers the front seats and does not need to be removed when putting the top panels back on.

Come pick them up and they are yours.

The one in the pic is a janky Amazon one that definitely wont work (can't put the roof panels back on while its on). Do you have a link to the one you got and does it allow putting the roof panels on?

Just got a 2 door Black Diamond last week. After driving around with the front roof panels off in SoCal sun I was hoping to find a mesh top that covers only the front seats and can live under the hard top front panels so that it can stay on full time. Something like the attached pic but 2 door...
