Yes. It IS the current APIM update that contains the AA/CP full screen. And Alexa (if you don't already have it) And the Unreal Engine for graphics (must be enabled in Forscan)
Any idea what the unreal engine does for the graphics? Assuming it just mostly looks the same but more smoothe?

Depends on how sensitive someone might be to graphical rendering quality.
Some folks aren't moved by HD VS SD, while others can't ignore it.

Just a sample of beforeAfter

I'm 65, so I mostly appreciate the sharp improvement in text rendering myself.

That looks really nice. I’m looking forward to this. I’ve been working with jesse and FDRS trying to get everything updated on my 22. For some reason my truck has been fighting this every step of the way but Jesse has been awesome. He has some pretty slick tricks up his sleeve. ?

Thanks for the screenshots. Rendering options are great.

Hey buddy and @Jesse-Infotainment ; just to confirm on this, the 3.5.3 APIM update will be for the 2021s and 2022s?
Am I correct in assuming that you asked about MY22 because you haven't received the update yet for your 22 Lariat? Are you still showing sync version 21297 too, or have you received any ota updates yet?

Oh no, what I meant was I knew it was available for the ‘22, but the ‘21s yet until now. My ‘22 Lariat (personal) has the update but my ‘21 XLT I use for work, doesn’t yet. Now confirmed, I’ll keep an eye out for that update on the ‘21s.

You got 3.5.2 in February?
Hi Snakebitten, yes. The first screen shot has the date on it. I have saved all the OTA update messages from Ford in the app I do not delete them. The second page is after I hit the 'Update Details' button.
The October update looks Identical. Other than the date. Maybe the app is messed up and just pulling the latest 'Update Detail' page or something.

Wow!
I think you have definitely either uncovered a bug in the app (not shocking) with how the notifications link, or you captured an UHOH notification sent months before it was meant to be. :)

I do believe that 3.5.2 would have been in development even before February, but I don't think it would have been allowed out of the development sandbox yet. But crazier things happen in that world, not just at Ford.

Do you use the ford pass app? Should get any update notifications in there.
I do but don’t recall if I got messages about this. I might have deleted And not paid attention. LOL.
