I don’t seem to be able to find what exactly is and what any advantage Connections is for me. What am I missing?

Once this expires do I then not have the ability to connect my iPhone to the Mach-e system?

No, CarPlay is not dependent on this service.

That is good to know. Any other items that are included in Connect that are "must haves" to enjoy the car?

Cancelled mine I think it was $10 a month and my att data plan only because I don’t drive enough to use I have 530 miles on my 2023 lol but everything still connects.

No, CarPlay is not dependent on this service.

if you have android auto or Apple CarPlay, you don’t need Ford connected services.

On top of that if you have a modern, smart phone, you’re getting a 5G signal whereas the modem in the Mach E is a 4GLTE, I believe (the “speed “ of your car modem doesn’t really matter. My experience has been my iPhone is better in every case.)

Here is a little more info on the service: https://www.ford.com/support/how-to...d-services/what-is-ford-premium-connectivity/

It appears it's just providing access to additional Internet content via Amazon Alexa running in a way that's built-in to the car, as an alternative to you accomplishing the same functions using your own smartphone.

This is what I conclude as well. And at least for us here in the south the service is horrible. We tried a month or so after our complementary. And decided it wasn’t worth 120 bucks a year.
