@windguy - I work at a Ford dealership and since i manage the IT equipment i am familiar with using the IDS software and have access to a VCM.
I had been trying to disable this since i purchased it a year ago.
Even went as far as to contact the Ford technical hotline to ask for help in disabling this and was told it was a normal function that could not be disabled.
Thanks to your thread i was able to have a starting point to go into the modules and eventually found the option to disable it..
