Message Keeps Popping Up

[FrankieD]

Everything I start my car, I get this message,

“Vehicle Location, Driving Data (egrusage info) and/or Vehicle Data (e.g. diagnostics) sharing active. Automatic software updates may also be On. See Settings to adjust and for info. Learn about data collection and use in the privacy notice on our website.”

Does anyone else get this or has gotten it and figured out what needs to be done to remove it from continuously popping up on the screen? It just started today, and no idea what settings I need to adjust to stop it from happening

Yup. Privacy disclaimer. You can disable those things it mentions, but then I think FordPass gets funny (more than normal). Haven’t found a way to permanently accept it.

I don't believe there is and this goes back all the way to when Ford started rolling out connected cars with FordPass back in 2016, happens on every version of SYNC. If FordPass is activitated, it's just gonna pop up every time unless you disable the connectivity settings, at which point FordPass and other functionality won't work since the vehicle won't transmit necessary data for those functions anymore.

Noted - thanks for the explaining it
