Can I turn off cloud data for my Connected Navigation?
SYNC 4 Technologies cloud-based Connected Navigation options are an easy and convenient way to plan a trip. With Connected Navigation (90-day trial)* or Connected Built-In Navigation (3 years of service)** (see your owner’s manual to find out which one you have), you’ll get:
- Accurate maps
- Thoughtful points of interest
- Fuel/charge locations
- Real-time traffic and road condition updates
- Almost instant rerouting options, should you need them
However, you can turn off cloud-based Connected Navigation in the SYNC 4 Technology settings if you wish.
Turning off your cloud data can affect certain functionalities. In some cases, your cellular data could be affected if you choose to use a third-party navigation provider.
How to turn off cloud data use
To limit cloud data use and continue to enjoy the full use of your onboard apps, you can:
- Turn off location navigation services within individual apps
- Turn off traffic and personalization, as well as delete data, in apps
