Upgrade from 3G to 4G since 3G will no longer be supported starting Feb 2022.Car now cannot connect to Ford Pass . I can no longer start the car remotely nor can it update service info. I paid for part . Ford paid labor. Still is not working after two trips to dealership. Dealership has to wait for information from Ford Tech on how to fix problem. Not dealership's fault. Ford sent me original letter to have the upgrade.
