Connected Services Trial Expiring

[HerbB]

Next month the one-year trial of Ford Connected Services will expire if I do not pay $10 per month?.In actuality, what will stop working if I do not renew? I have “Alexa” but do not use it. I use Apple CarPlay for navigation and entertainment. Will the app stop giving me tire pressure, location, etc?

Mine has lapsed, but I only seem to have lost Nav.

Same here, noticed nothing lost other than navigation, even that was unnoticeable because I do the android auto thing.

So, you can't use it at all? My 2024 came with a 3 year trial.

From what I've read, once the "Connected Services" trial expires, "embedded" Navigation is supposed to still work. I can't tell just yet as my 2-month trial has a month left..). You seem to lose the "connected" Nav features that require a live internet connection, like live traffic updates, weather overlays and map updates. The Ford app shows my Alexa built-in "trial" expires in 2074 (!!). I'll use the Apple CarPlay anyway, the embedded one seems pretty spartan.

the Ford Pass portion that shows the tire pressure, location, etc. doesn't appear to have a published expiration date, so I'm curious if that will still show up in the app once the my trial expires. Again a fun feature but not worth $10/mo IMO.

Actually this is correct. I did not lose the mapping, just the extras.

When the trial (3 month) expired on my 2023 F150 Powerboost, I could not longer use the Ford maps to Navigate to a location (Route). No big deals as I use Google Maps with Android Auto.
