Received 4.2.3 OTA this afternoon - I have not seen this posted yet. Did I miss it? Could we not already connect to public Wi-Fi??

I hate the text used in these notes. It almost implies that you can browse the web and watch content while parked and connected.

Previously, you could not join any wifi that required clicking an I accept button (like hotel WiFi)

On the topic of wifi for the trucks. Currently, I have a jetpack standalone Wi-Fi hotspot in the truck. Would I lose any features connecting the truck directly to the jetpack hotspot and canceling my AT&T data account? Remote start, OTA updates, anything at all? Perhaps this update would factor into the equation.

I dont use the ford hotspot feature at all with my truck and still get OTAs , i don see the point of paying for another data plan when i have a huge one on my phone that i can hot spot devices.

You would not lose any features unless maybe you are using “ford streaming” but I’m not sure about that because I have no interest in it.

I have an automation configured on my iPhone to turn on my hotspot every time my phone connects to CarPlay and the truck set up to connect to my phone’s hotspot and everything works via this method, which is essentially what you would be doing. I even have full Alexa functionality when connected to my phones hotspot if that is your sort of thing.

As far as OTA updates, there is no evidence that a single update has ever been installed via Wi-Fi. They all use the trucks cellular connection regardless of if you are paying for it or not. Same with remote start.

I received 4.2.3 last Wednesday. A little hiccup when I started up the truck. The screen was black and took a few minutes to boot up. Presumably owing to the update completing itself.

I knew I got something when I backed up and the reverse warning tone was LOUD!
