I’m just wondering if anyone is actually going to subscribe to ford streaming ? I can’t find a use case for it at all unless you didn’t previously subscribe to any music streaming service .
As I understand it , Alexa will still work for all the truck related features without the streaming package .

My trial expires tomorrow and this will be the only service I won’t continue with the truck . What about you ? Subscribing or not ? Why ?

It would be awesome if there were a GUI for the built in streaming service such as Spotify or even Amazon Music if that's all that's available. I would pay for that in a heartbeat as long as they don't cripple the sound with low bitrate. In a car I often want to browse music, not call out songs, artists, or albums by name. Having the service built in to the vehicle's infotainment would eliminate the need to have Android Auto or CarPlay set up to use those services with a GUI. Android Auto is nice for its flexibility to use other apps, but coming from Tesla I really miss just having a streaming service that just works immediately that also doesn't drain your phone's battery or use its data.

Since this is a recurring revenue generating service for @FordMotorCompany I hope they prioritize its development.

No desire to use it at all. I guess I. A bit old school but the only streaming service I use is Pandora and that works fine off of my phone. If I don't want to connect my phone, the radio works great too.
