if its connected, it will stop working

connected built in has a 3 year subscription and after expiration will still work but you will no longer have weather/traffic/POI visible

Nope. It won't work at all. Many threads on it. If it's dying already then it's the regular connected. Once it dies you have a map. You can not search and you can not navigate. Many of us can confirm this.

Just another FU from Ford that no other company I've owned from Benz to our Denali gives you. Lol.

But I agree apple or waze or Google are better Nav anyway.

I'm fine with that. I had 5 years of navigation with my 2017 and most of the time I used my phone. With wireless Apple CarPlay the phone is even easier. Showing the map is all I did with my 2017 most of the time.

Nope. Your fordpass still shows where the truck is. If I click search it just says some crap about expired. You just have a map where nav was.

I'm OK with it too. But it's still crappy. Our old cars still work (albeit with old maps). You could pay a Fiesta payment for what the navigation/wifi/Sirius etc etc payments would be on these trucks.
