I am not sure which update did this, probably the one that said it was making background changes to the display (which apparently - finally - gave me the battery percentage on the range ring).

I ride the ferries and it is absolutely necessary to be able to turn off the alarm system because the motion will set it off, scare the hell out of the cats, annoy other drivers, and lead to the ferry announcement “will the owner of a silver Ford return to the car deck and secure their alarm system. The motion of the ferry will set it off. Thank you.”

I had it set to ask at shutdown if I wanted the alarm system enabled, but any settings related to the alarm have disappeared from the settings menu. (A previous update reset my preference which led to the embarrassment above, but then I was able to reset it). I know what I am doing but it appears impossible to disable the alarm system now, which means that I have to sit in the truck for the whole hour. Leaving the truck unlocked is not an option - trust me, I live here.

So what do I do, Ford? Anybody know where the fuse for the alarm system is (that is what I had to do with my Audi.)
