Can I turn off cloud data for my Connected Navigation?

Connected Navigation options are a convenient way to plan any trip. With Connected Navigation (90-day trial)* or Connected Built-In Navigation (3 years of service)** (check your window sticker 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

You can turn off cloud data for your Connected Navigation in the SYNC 4 settings. Turning off your cloud data can affect certain functionalities. In some cases, your cellular data could also be affected if you choose to use a third-party navigation provider.

To limit cloud data use and continue to enjoy the full use of your onboard apps, you can:

  • Turn off your navigation services in each app
  • Turn off traffic and personalization, as well as delete data, in apps
