OTA Updates

[rugedraw]

Dude. I thought MAYBE it was BECAUSE it hadn’t updated. So I got a WiFi booster for my garage; got it logged in. And then tried to check for an ‘update’…but I just got the ‘Checking for updates-this may take a minute’. And it kept spinning for 30 minutes while I sat there. Seems my Ford tech knows LESS about this truck than I do. My ALL DAY LONG service call resulted in a ‘Customer error’ notation on my Service invoice. Told me to ‘push the buttons’ in a different order. And it still does not work.

To fix that, you need to disconnect negative cable from your 12v battery for 20 minutes. Check for updates again and it will make it past that screen.

If you have a PowerBoost, you will need to disconnect the small 12v battery under the rear seat, too.

I own a 2023 F-150, 17,315 miles on it. In 2023 the year it was purchased, I received 1 update. I didn't receive another update until late 2024, November to be exact.
In mid summer of this year received 2 updates. In the last month, and I have my update time scheduled for early AM, I have an update that apparently keeps getting delayed because of another process occuring based on the icon on the screen. What could possibly be happening that it's not updating?

Rugedraw hands out grace when it's so tempting to........ .. You know........

I can't resist.

Member states they haven't had an OTA in 3 years.
Sync version 24127 and IPMA has BC1.4 firmware.

I know it can SEEM like it's been 3 years

I don't have any difficulty believing your dealership knows less about such things than the average member of this forum.

Interrupted by another process means the 12v battery is below spec. You need to charge it up.

Possibly the sun blinding the front facing cameras. I don't see any codes in relations to BC performance being reported. The config for BC 1.0 is correct, but you don't have the config for lane change assist etc. That can be fixed with FORScan.

In terms of updates, you truck is not behind at all. I don't see any reason to be concerned as far as that goes.

I asked the dealer about the update for blue cruise for lane changing. They told me that my truck can not have it. They said that my truck does not support that . How can I get the update?

 

[rugedraw]

The dealer cannot do it. Ford has not added the ability for them to do it with FDRS yet. You'd have to enable it yourself with FORScan. You aleady have the update......you just need the correct configuration.

I can do it for you in minutes. Just hit me up. Come by my house or my job and I'll do it. I live and work in the Coral Gables area.

They told me that my truck can not have it. They said that my truck does not support that .

That is total and complete BS.

Never ceases to amaze me that in the dealership industry they can just invent facts out of thin air and speak them with a straight face.
Even the colleague that overhears the bald faced lie is somehow trained to NOT object?

I swear if I had the budget for a Maserati or Porsche or whatever brand Rugedraw sells, I'd buy something from him just........ Well because.

Audi, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Jaguar/Land Rover, Porsche, Aston Martin, McLaren, Ferrari, Pininfarina and Lamborghini. Depending on what you want, you may need to go into your 401k a little bit.....or a lot.

With his help, I now have BC 1.4
Thanks man!

Of that list, the only brand that could tempt me to dip into my future food & shelter fund is the P

And since I already have a low mileage 987, which admittedly is mostly a barn queen (perched on a lift so nobody can touch it)............

If you ever get access to a $teal on a 987.2 in Spyder trim?
