ok, fair enuf. I think we are saying the same thing then. sorry for the confusion. I thought the OP asked in regard to the WIFI hotspot. my error

I think we are talking about two different things here, because you dont have to sign up for a paid activation for those things. Ford Pass works without a monthly subscription to the wireless features and it gave me my points. so maybe there is an activation you are refering to I am not aware...

what else must you activate it for?

wireless carplay is bluetooth. nothing to do with the modem in your truck.

uh, yah, thats what I said. its the purchase of a separate wifi plan. nothing to do with the modems operation in the background, unless you physically dig around behind the rear seat and unplug it

nothing happens. activating is simply you saying you want your truck to be a WiFi hotspot. instead of your phone. and its a whole new cell plan with ATT. otherwise the modem does everything it needs to for the nav, your Ford Pass app , nav , etc all work with no action required by you now...

my 23 KR remains in 4A under same circs. same if I go from Sport back to Normal.

booyah! exact same color combo/trim as my ’23. gotta ask about tires. looks like you went with Michelin Defenders. do you like them? are they same size as original Pirelli and do they ride as smooth as the Pirellis?

new colors. I really have no reason to replace my ’23 KR. but you know.. if I were to see a shiny object in the lot….

even if they rebuilt every shuttered manufacturing plant in America tomorrow they couldnt find anyone willing to work in them. that ship sailed with a Venti Chai Latte in hand

coming up on the 2 year mark, 22,000 ish miles and ZERO problems. hope I don't jinx myself!! just a simple 5.0L V8 truck.

well this is why I leave mine off. not saying I have had bad experiences from updates. but there have been “resets” of minor preferences in settings that would occur. like turning the rear seatbelt warnings back on. ( sooner than the built in reset ) just things that always made go WTF. now...

cant recall specifically, but it seemed to. I gave in. auto update is still off tho.

OK, I will chime in, I have it turned off. However. when you do that it will annoy the crap out of you every time you start the truck asking for permission to update. they will beat you down like a rented mule until you concede. !!

ahh, good to know. thanks
