Why any one would pay for navigation and sync is way beyond me especially when you can get a smart phone the size of a small tv.

What a bunch of foolish crap to fix.

The 2015+ F-150's have the two-way remote start built into the newly designed key fobs. After pushing the button sequence to remote start, a green LED on the remote blinks to indicate a successful start, or a red LED blinks to show a failed start. I like the remote start, but I don't need any confirmation lights or messages...I can hear the roar of the engine firing up, and see the parking lights come on.

Being able to unlock the vehicle from "around the world" is silly and useless. Having an LTE modem connected to vehicle functions is nothing other than an invitation to have your vehicle hacked.
