Seems like the Powerboost 21's are getting updated. My '21 has been on 4.2.4 since last October.
Are any other models of '21s getting updated?

Not a PB here but you must be one of the many left behind. It really does seem random how some trucks are behind with no issues to prevent updates. Late last year v6 updates were rolling out.

You really are not missing any new features just added bugs that get fixed in later updates. If truck is working fine then I wouldn't worry about it.

My only issue is that my camera button on the dash stopped working back then with an update. That's really the only thing I'd like fixed.

You might be able to do it in Forscan or stuck waiting for update.

As far behind as you are you might consider going with FDRS and just updating everything since you have a problem to fix. It is an investment and requires some time but it will take care of your issue if it is only a software bug.

6.8 was last major update.
Nothing but bug fixes after that and not all apply to every truck. I did not get many of them but other trims have been.

Good to know but I still want those updates!! They're my updates and I want them now!

My MyView has been reset several times but no updates have been recorded in fordpass or in the Software updates on my Sync4 screen.

Several are reporting that including Rugedraw and as far as I know he is fully updated. Doesn't happen to my truck, but I've been spared from several bugs reported on here. I'm starting to wonder if some are related to Forscan asbuilt changes.

I haven't seen a Forscan fix for this yet, but I'll keep my eyes open for one. I'm tempted to bite the bullet on FDRS, but the cables are so expensive here. I should probably sign up for the loaner option.

It's the first thing listed in the common tab of the FORScan spreadsheet:

Ford F-150 2021 Owners - What is your OTA Version? 1723067953100-82


If this does not work and your software is indeed too outdated and you're in Canada, then reach out to @jflottawa or @yikes for their Mongoose as they are also in Canada and can accommodate you better than I can.

I tried that a while back with hopes that it would fix things, but no luck. It enabled the camera at high speed, but not at low speed when parking.
Thanks for the contacts for Canada!

Retired and not looking. I am driving the wife crazy.
I hate to be stupid here, but I've been that way my entire life. I bought an owners manual and have been poking around trying to find update information. I did push a screen button to check for updates. It came back to me that I am updated.

How do I know I am updated and what updates I have? This seems like rocket science to me.
