Whats Dis?
Got an email from Ford this morning
https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos...PCON_TP1_1_NT/
Has anyone used it yet, and how do you like it? I have no idea what it is yet, and don't plan on digging into the truck SYNC today, have too many other things to do. Is it good or a waste of time?
We hope you’re enjoying Ford Premium Connectivity.*

I think it's the 4G wireless feature through the truck. A hotspot, so to speak. I didn't keep it on my Silverado or Sierra and I doubt I'll keep it on this. The signal is better on the trucks, though, due to the external antennas.

It's a bit more than that - it takes some data features you could do with Android Auto or Apple Carplay and add similar functionality to the Sync infotainment system - like streaming music services, news, games, audiobooks, etc. Anyone with a modern smartphone is probably better off using their own cellular data plan and their respective brand of automotive screen sharing.

Well, further digging into this. Its basically Internet for the truck. After 1 year its $10 a month to stay connected. It allows Alexa to comm unicate so it can stream its junk.
