Beside the other reasons mentioned it's the fact they don't want to pay us for getting our data, they want it for free.To many folks think that their data is important enough to Ford to try and block it.

Interesting. How much does your phone company pay you? Your credit card company, your utility companies? Who actually pays you for your data?Beside the other reasons mentioned it's the fact they don't want to pay us for getting our data, they want it for free.
Nobody. I am just against this business model of collecting and selling data on behalf of everyone without sharing. On the other hand we probably get paid with other means sometimes, like these Ford pass 'points' or getting some discounts somewhere. And some services just require certain data to work in the first place since it's their essence of existence and their monetization purpose.Interesting. How much does your phone company pay you?

The 2020 manual shows it now as fuse 8. I removed fuse 8 and noticed nothing amiss.STEP 1) Disconnect fuse #10: Telematics
Stop it, you're making me blush. Thank you.Kudos to your post. As an amateur, albeit unpublished writer, I find your writing competence far exceeding the average literate. Easy to follow, a pleasure to read. Thanks for the technical tip artfully explained.
Until someone replies and knows exactly, I think I remember this first started with the '19 model year, and the fuse moved to 8 in '20.What MY did this start?
Can anyone say when the fuse moved to #8.
Yes, I am also a #PullTheFuse gang member ... lolStop it, you're making me blush. Thank you.

I found it in the manual, you can find which one it is in there or also do a quick search for 2019 Mustang Owners Manual and download your manual from the Ford site.
And recapping earlier conversation to the best of my memory, for now I don't think anyone has found that the circuit the modem is on has anything else in there with it on a Mustang, though I believe I saw other things tied in on other models. Unplugging the modem itself would also suffice, it is easily accessed in the trunk (I think I have pics of this in this thread). Additionally, Tomster has some great content on this topic in his thread in the GT500 forum. Between these two threads, the fuse, the modem, and the antennas are all located with details in the discussion. On mine, just the fuse completely disables it, so I'm a member of the #PullTheFuse gang, but the other disabling methods are also simple. YMMV, but you can test if it's working with the FordPass app.

That feature has to be enabled in order for it to track your journeys. I have not enabled it in my app.1) There's a "My Journeys" feature
That is absolutely a fair and wonderful point.Something positive though to consider for keeping your modem connected: The location of your vehicle.
You need a new insurance companyYou have 2017 GT350. The modem installation start with 2019.
In my case, I have premium increases from $1.1K/6m to $3.1K/6m for three cars including GT350. When I asked them why, they said it's because my driving history. I don't have incidents or traffic tickets. When I asked them to explain what is my driving history, they didn't give me any valid explanation, just kept repeating same thing. I drive car spirited, I'm not going to give details how spirited. So, I really believe that Ford see my driving habits through Ford Connect and selling to insurance companies(Geico in this case).
I'm going to pull #10 fuse and see it Ford Connect app can't see location of my car.
I thought of that, but more than likely, anyone stealing a GT350 would know to pull the fuse. In no way do I mean to imply thieves are intelligent. They may be considered resourceful, however, and hanging out a forums like this to learn what they can.God forbid your car gets stolen, you can tell police exactly where your stolen car is.(Or you cannot, and take care of the thiefs yourselfs.)
