Has anyone had any luck with this feature? In my last truck I had live traffic and live weather radar. I can't find a way to see this information provided by Sirius. I did however find weather radar and obviously the navigation. I used to be able to overlay the radar on top of the navigation. I seem to remember reading that someone else was having trouble using this. Sorry for the double post if so.

Thanks.

I have been trying to get this service with no luck on my 2021 F150 Sync 4. I do have it on my 2018 F150Sync 3 which is a 5 tear free trial. Also had it in a 2011 Explorer with Sync 2.

So why is it not working on the Sync 4 360 L?

Sirius tells me that they turn it on in my 2021 but have not seen anything.

I believe I know the answer. I had called my dealership and was informed by them that Ford is providing the live traffic and weather from an internet source. The Travel Link doesn't work on the 2021. I was also told on my vehicle that I have a 3 year complimentary subscription. After that it's a paid service.

In my opinion it's a step backwards. I used to have live traffic, my route and live radar on the same screen. That's not possible any longer. Go figure, larger screen and less functionality. The radar zoom on the weather also is too broad for my tastes. You can save some money by deactivating the feature from SiriusXM. I have found the live traffic to be satisfactory. There again I'd prefer to be able to set my view to a 2.5 or 5 mile sweep but that has to be done on each cycle. I hope this helps.

I only hope that future updates add functionality.

I didn't have working traffic on mine initially. In the last week or so it's now working. Not sure if the OTA update triggered it or not.

I suppose that's possible. I don't believe mine worked initially but I really don't remember. I just wish it was similar to the previous version.

I don't recall how good it was on my 2016 F150 King Ranch .... I guess it had it. My Ram was showing tie ups from red lights. Kind of too much.... Overall the Sync 4 is way better than the Sync 3 and I'm liking it better than the Ram Uconnect which is really good.

Unfortunately this doesn't apply to 2021.

I noticed this was missing too, sort of.

Ford decided to provide it their selves.
