Ford does sell 4G cellular hardware updates for certain vehicles. One of my relatives bought one for her Fusion sedan.


Yeah, There's an upgrade available, but it costs money (even when they were offering to pay the labor for some people), and the functionality isn't worth it for me, especially once they changed the power tradeoff and the car doesn't get the messages in a reasonable amount of time. It's nice that it doesn't kill the battery, and I understand the tradeoff, but if I don't know how many hours it will take for internet based remote unlocking to get to the car, it's not useful.
