OTA Ford Power-Up 3.5.3 and upcoming Alexa Built-in roll-out

[Caniki]

3.5.3 installed tonight on my 21 Limited. Full screen CarPlay and Alexa built in seem to work fine. My previous update was in October. I’m not part of the early access program.

Hey @rugedraw can you check on 1FTFW1RG9MFC63847.
please and thank you.

For those stuck on a current campaign, might as well try whatever you can between now and 2/7 when it expires.

Where have you seen they will stop sending OTA's on 02/07? This is the first I've heard of this.

@Big Cam I'm basing it on @pavementends post below, which is not the case for everyone. In his particular case, the OTA was deployed 1/26 and if it doesn't succeed by 2/7 it expires until it is sent by Ford again. I'm not suggesting that OTAs are going to stop, just that the push for the update ends on that date until it is sent again.

My suggestion for those that are eagerly waiting for the update is to disconnect and forget wifi (I wouldn't toggle it off altogether though). In my experience and based on what I've read, nobody has received an OTA via wifi and it always gets pushed via cellular. I'm not saying it won't update when connected to wifi, but it certainly doesn't seem to help.

@JL2021 mine's doing the exact same thing and @rugedraw said many other trucks are stuck at the same point. Always at the 4th file download. Nothing we can do I guess. The update campaign expires on/around Feb 7 so we have about a week and a half for the system to figure it out ?

Thank you for the clarification, I did turn wifi off 2 days ago based on all the OTA frenzy.

You had 3.5.3 sent to you and it failed today. Downloaded the first three files and then got stuck there and failed.

This getting stuck and failed downloading wouldn’t be due to any current forscan changes I may have would it? Just curious.

I wouldn't expect so. I have the unreal theme and lightning splash screen enabled in the APIM among other changes like Bambi mode, double honk disabled, lane change blinks, etc...

Not at all.

I got 3.5.2 on 10/13/22. I’m a 2021 job 2 F150 hybrid.

Waiting patiently for 3.5.3….

I "forgot" all wifi networks first thing this morning - my home one and the one at work parking lot. We'll see if that helps. Would be absolutely ridiculous when everywhere you look Ford is encouraging us to connect to wifi to make updates arrive faster.

Nope.

Exactly the same as this guy for me

Job 1 2021 Lariat build received 3.5.3 last night after having on charger (coincidence or not?). Previous 3.5.2 update received Oct 6. Not in early access program.

No OTA history in the past 60 days and no OTA in your queue at this time.

You have 3.5.3 in your queue since two days ago. As per usual, it downloaded some of the files right away, but has not downloaded any more in two days. Hopefully it goes through for you.

I hate to ask again, but would you mind checking mine? It's been near AT&T, and locked and no wifi, I'm trying a new method.

I forgot my current wifi, and connected to my trickle charger
