It asks for a data connection, if you click yes it goes to the wifi selection. It does not go away. I do not care to have the car use wifi to update itself.
I guess I have to rule out Fords in the future.
When I read the subject header of this discussion, I thought it was going to be about things like "Can you use some coffee? There's a McDonald's at Exit 47B." It sounds ilke you're getting operating system pop-ups. That suggests that the rental car company isn't taking care of maintenance. I wouldn't mind (on principle, anyway) a map update for the GPS, but I wouldn't want the car to update the emission control or braking software while I'm driving.
As a travel tightwad, unless the WiFi was free (not bloody likely!), if the car wants to turn it on to update itself, does it go on my bill?
