New APIM update popped up in FDRS today?

Would be so wonderful if Ford would release patch notes on these updates.

And break notes!

Huh? If you click each little arrow to drop down the full explanation it says "No action required" for each. Says the same thing for me and everyone with Sync4 and Connected NAV.

But yeah, on this page another instance of Ford recommending WiFi connection to "activate immediate downloads" when we think/know the trucks don't use WiFi access... yet.

yup the drop down arrow gives a no action required
my truck sees my wifi all the time so maybe ??????

i did notice yesterday the "my view" in instrument display had changed again, but he update arrow on the screen was not highlighted.
getting ready to do the glarefree forscan mod next, i was waiting on updates, but i think its time to move on with my stuff

I have 22228 and on My Ford website it is showing 22294 waiting to be installed. We shall see if it downloads on its own or if I have to do it myself.

Did you get 22228 OTA?

 

[RickBullotta]

FWIW my truck crackled to life fine today - no sign of any parasitic draw!

 

[Kanuck]

Did you get 22228 OTA?

No..I installed it myself on Oct 25th. It took a little over 4 hours

I thought so.
Was just curious if you are REALLY going to wait this time. ?

I'm really starting to think that there was an inherent problem with 22228 that we don't know about and that's why Ford has delayed the 3.5.3 roll out. I think that when they do drop 3.5.3 via OTA the installed version will be 22293. Thus fixing whatever it is that's wrong with 22228 and finally getting the 3.5.3 installed.

 

[Snakebitten]

You think like a software development team coordinator.

Edit: and it would be one explanation for why Ford would release yet another build when they haven't even deployed the previous.

it is possible. 22293 Replaces 22228. meaning Trucks that has 22228 waiting to be installed now only have 22293.

Normally if there was not an issue with 22228 they would leave it in the sequence and make you update to it prior to 22293. They do not. The 22293 package depending on what verison you are updting from varies from 3GB if you have 22228 and 5.7 if you do not. 5.7GB was the size of 22228.

So yes it seems there was an issue with 22228. It doesnt exist anymore.

Thanks @Jesse-Infotainment this confirms my thoughts.
I think that once 22293 is installed this might allow Ford to do more granular updates to the APIM in the future, meaning they would then be able to update just 1 or 2 files as needed instead of the all or nothing method they've used up until now. If this is the case it would be a great improvement for OTA's in the future, and thus not as taxing or dependent on the vehicles battery being up to par for the job of making huge downloads.... and less install failures and headaches for Ford....

@Big Dog Daddy , you Ole guru you.

That might also explain why if someone applied 22228, and then 22293, they didn't notice anything different in 22293.
