Except I don't have sync connect. I have an old sync which as far as I can tell has no telemetry and is completely defunct considering it doesn't work with anything anymore.
You have sync 2. Because that is the standard sync system on your vehicle. It became standard on all Ford models in 2015, 2-ish years before your car was manufactured. Believe whatever you like, but please read the article.
I did read the article. And you're just proved my point. It says specifically in the article they can do ota updates to sync 3. Doesn't mention sync 2. And if sync 2 has a cellular antenna, it ran on a 3G which is now dying/ dead. So my car would not be connected. But there is nothing to indicate as far as I can tell that sync 2 has any sort of telemetry to the outside world.
