Will Sync work without a cell phone? Giving mine up to my son......maybe. The phone that is.

 

You wont be able to make any calls without the phone.

 

Will the "services", directions, traffic updates and all that stuff work?

 

No it works off the phone. You are actually calling the system that allows you to get directions, vehicle health, etc. You must register each phone of the website as well otherwise won't work, so keep your phone.

 

Yes. Directions are GPS/data base driven, traffic updates are from a satellite service.

 

So it will but it won't? Tried it with no phone and it said something about no phone being found.

 

No it has to have a cell phone to communicate and get the data it feeds to you. Will NOT work without a cell phone.
