FordPass Connect Upgrade/Downgrade

If the vehicle is equipped with a FordPass Connect modem, the customer has the opportunity to downgrade or upgrade FordPass Connect (deactivate or reactivate all added value services) except for eCall*.

The added value services include Live Traffic, Wi-Fi Hotspot, Command and Control, Vehicle Locator, Status and Health Alerts. Downgrade/ deactivate means the vehicle will be “offline” and not sending or receiving data in case of a downgrade. In case of an upgrade the vehicle will be “online” again to send and receive data. The eCall functionality will always be available in case of an accident.

For more details please refer to article: eCall Functionality
