my life was alot simpler 20 years ago when I relied on a Thomas guide and no phone
My life was a lot simpler 20 years ago when I was playing Playstation 1 on the weekend after a long week at school, lol. Those were the days.

I know I'm going to get flak from some of you and you'll think I'm a paranoid tinfoil hat-wearing weirdo, but has anyone disabled the 4G modem on their 2019+ car? According to the FBI, US automakers have become the target of a lot of cyber attacks recently. With all the data spills we've been seeing in the news from companies from all industries, I don't trust Ford to be able to keep my car safe from cyber attack. I know that owning a laptop and a cellphone mean that I'm still extremely vulnerable to malicious actors online but I don't travel at high speeds next to other vehicles that are also travelling at high speeds inside my cellphone or laptop

I have a 2019 GT, how exactly did you disable the data link?
