Reddit user finds hidden web browser?

No fakes. Here are the instructions. Enjoy while you can!

Thanks. I’m now eating crow. As others have said though, the links don’t appear for me. HOWEVER, I did try swiping right and left on that page, and very briefly, there were circles with left and right arrows beneath my fingers, so definitely, that page IS something different.

The privacy policy isn't clickable in the US.

Shafted again!

Might be a Canada loophole ?

I’ll bet our friends in Europe have it as well. They have all kinds of insane privacy regulations, particularly the Germans.
Hey, have any Californians tried it? California has different privacy laws.

Will be interesting to see how this is fixed. If that initial page is hosted at ford, they can remove the clickable links quickly. But if that page goes directly to Sirius, they'd have to have them remove the links.

Europe doesn't have SXM, so that whole section of software wouldn't even be there to get to the browser.

That’s right! I forgot!

I'd guess it's hosted by Sirius, but considering Ford is a major client, I doubt it lasts long if it really gets out.

Yeah I guess I understand why he was being selfish with it, this only requires a server side fix.

On a side note, Ford should just add a browser; I'd take that over the games. It looks like it works really well. Make it functional only in Park.

That modem looks like it’s got good speeds too

This is the main reason Ford will block this. Its very unlikely they have unlimited data plans for each car.

I think that but also the fact it isn't auto disabled the second you move out of park

Yeah I tried. No dice.

Now I need to find some sort of aquatic transport to move to a place that has this...

I'm no programmer, but seems like they could require a wifi connection to use it.

I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong; well, I'm about the 30th on this thread. Not a troll.
