On pre deleted vehicles, depending on options you either had a brief 90 day Nav trial or a 3 year connected Nav.
what connected means is that Ford issues updates, you get live traffic, weather radar etc. $80 a year for connected….after initial period.
I like having both CarPlay and built in Nav.
my only bugbear with car play Nav is that on Google maps, you can see police activity on screen, but cannot report it on the truck’s screen.

The 30 day version is called “connected nav”. As you point out, after the three month trial period you pay an annual subscription fee if you want to continue the “connected” features.
The “connected” idea (whether built-in or not), as you point out, means that routes and so forth are updated in real time with current traffic info. BOTH versions deliver this feature, but for connected nav it’s only for the 90 day trial period unless you subscribe. For “built-in connected nav”, it delivers updated routes and so forth for the so-called complimentary three year period.

Again, as I understand it, the three year version is what Ford calls “built-in connected nav”.

Here is a great thread of deciphering the different APIMs. You can imagine then the 12" less navigation model would be a 14G670-P* part number but then missing the blue FAKRA connector.

Google maps is better anyway. It's far more up to date than anything you'll get from Ford.
Drive where you don't have service or get scared by the "but you need a connection" deception?
Download the maps to your device.

Helpful, but there some features that were removed by ford that were force deletes. I ordered a Lariat with Co-pilot assist 2.0 but with the force delete of nav/xm the copilot was deleted. I have read on another f150 forum where guys were able to add back the adaptive cruise with a module and wiring addition, but there remains some issues without the nav. so if I could retrofit the nav unit, that may solve those issues.

I custom ordered an XLT with the copilot 360 assist package which included the adaptive cruise. navigation and sirius radio in Feb. I watched my order thru the Ford website and around June I saw that the option was deleted.by Ford to save chips. They did this to dealer orders and custom orders but it was not mandatory for custom orders. If the customer complained, which I did, and the option was reinstated. My truck was built the end of August and I received it in October with all the options I wanted. If I hadnt been following my order it would have been built without the options. It is my understanding that dealers were supposed to tell the customers about the deletion but some customers were not informed.
People realized the deletion included navigation and Sirius but many did not realize the adaptive cruise control piece that took away Lane centering, speed sign recognition, and auto slow down to a stop and restart of cruise control in traffic.

FYI, here is the description of nav and connected nav straight out of PTS.
Navigation (if equipped)
The APIM receives GPS data from the satellite and the GPS antenna via a coaxial cable. The GPS data is used for the compass heading, vehicle location (in the event of airbag deployment) and navigation guidance. The APIM uses the GPS data along with ABS module wheel speed and rotation direction to provide accurate navigation tracking. In situations where the GPS signal is temporarily lost, the APIM continues to use the ABS module and vehicle acceleration data to continue vehicle tracking.
The navigation map data is stored in the APIM . It can be updated using a USB flash drive. The APIM processes the data and transmits it to the display unit through the LVDS cable.
Connected Navigation (if equipped)
NOTE: To identify if the vehicle is equipped with a built-in navigation system, click on the "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION" link on the OASIS tab on PTS . Built-in navigation is identified by the code HKCAB.
The Connected Navigation feature is a subscription based service available through the FordPass application. Updated information (such as weather and fuel station prices) is provided to the APIM from the TCU utilizing the FordPass account.
On vehicles not equipped with the built-in navigation, when the subscription expires, only the map is present on the screen with all Connected Navigation features disabled.
On vehicles equipped with the built-in navigation, when the subscription expires, only the factory navigation features are functional with all Connected Navigation features disabled.

So if i have built in nav when my subscription expires for the data part my navigation will default to the built in system only. Which should be fine. If I bought the truck with the system I think i did, I got the built in system so when out of cell range we can still look up things like national parks and other things with out cell service.
