Ford installed 3g modems knowing the network would be shutdown. This causes most things on the infotainment center to stop working such as the vehicle GPS and most recently the Bluetooth command button. Updates have failed to resolve the issues. It is illegal for me to be distracted while driving, however, all of my distractions come from dealing with the infotainment and connectivity issues that were built into my vehicle.
