MachE doesn't use Sync 3, in case anyone was concerned here. This is why our vehicles connect to a unique SSID on its own VLAN though, and we have another one for most IoT devices. The security in them is the last concern typically.

Are you talking about your home network?

Are you talking about your home network?
Yes. I do the same. The car can talk to the internet through it's own network so it can't see or touch any of my stuff.
And fancy me, got a sync3 car in the driveway. But it's wifi has been off for 10 years. lol

I’ll remove it
Don't as there's a bunch of us that have sync3 cars around still. Though the wifi function in those was utterly stupid. I look forward to downloading 2gb of crap onto an SD card and trying to update it the old school way of clicking a button. Man I hope my fingers SOC is above 80% and my high beams arn't on.

I was just thinking about the frunk. Can someone get into it with a 12V booster even if the battery is fine?
