Beware of idiots
The GPS still works. The only thing you are removing is connectivity to Ford.Data breaches and privacy are always worries. But hacking will become a bigger problem for all IoT or in this case Internet Connected Cars. Advocates of this tech will say you just need to keep things updated - which is fair. But removing this functionality is a better, safer solution.
Hypothetically speaking, whos to say that someone hacks Ford, and starts all cars connected to the Ford Pass app? It just takes one bad actor or one coding oversight to create chaos.
Do I really need GPS or a data connection on my car? No. That is the reason I have pulled those fuses - eliminating these sorts of threats.
