So..

I have a AWD EXT Prem and I see others who have the different colors for traffic on the NAV system from Garmin maybe? Is there something i'm missing to make mine work. I've gone to the wrench/config button and turned it on even though it looks like its on, but i still get no traffic colors even when I zoom all the way out.

How long have you had the car? The live traffic counts as a connected service. It can take a while before your 3 year trial is activated

Also, unless you’re in the traffic and Alerts screen, it only shows traffic flow that is slow or stopped, not green (normal) flow. So if there are no slowdowns or closures, you won’t see anything.

Had the car for around a month. Do you have to enable the connected services on the car for traffic and nav? Was it only for 3 years or was it for the life of the car? I don't recall.

Well, theoretically no... But sometimes the Ford back-end is ?....
For me, it was stuck on "activation pending" for like a month! You can check by going to the activated services page on the Ford website... That's the same place where they also have the plug-in charge subscription as well as the future blue Cruise subscription
