Ford to put features behind a pay wall😡

[csv8]

“Ford will soon require owners of its new and near-new vehicles to start paying a subscription fee to access certain features.

From January 2, 2025, the connected built-in navigation service included in a majority of models sold by the brand since mid-2020 will switch to a subscription model.

Ford will still include a one-year trial of the connected built-in navigation service – which provides the ability to access live traffic, updated map and weather data – from the warranty start date on models equipped with the system, however after 12 months owners will have to start paying to access these features

With the new subscription model in place, Ford will charge customers $15 per month or an annual fee of $110 to access these features, however the vehicle’s satellite navigation will still function.“
