Removing the modem

Has anyone removed the modem from their truck? I know I'll lose Ford Pass which I don't care about, any other foreseeable "issues"?

OTAs

From my understanding it's actually pretty easy to remove.

Should have mentioned I have Sync 3 so I don't get OTA's.

Try this. You can just disconnect the antenna and bingo, the modem no longer functions Now, you just have to remember to block the infrared FLOCK cameras that are taking your picture everywhere you go. Good luck. I hope this helps.

Thanks, that's a helpful link! And yes the flock cameras are another issue. One battle at a time....
