When you check for updates, what do you see in the touchscreen? Does it actually check for updates, or does it stay hanging on that screen with the spinning pinwheel in the middle?

Ok, so it's not affected by the issue where the battery needs to be disconnected for 20 minutes, but I would try it anyway to see if that GWM update goes through the next time they send it. It is not normal for an OTA to fail that many times.

Since you have a PB, disconnect both 12v batteries (under the hood and under the rear seat) by taking off the negative cable, and leave them off for 20 minutes. Once they resend the OTA, it will hopefully go through.

Sounds good. If that doesn’t work, is manually updating with mongoose cable probably the only option?

I’ve also got the rear camera software update recall, would they need to update some of these to install that if I took it to dealer? Assuming dealer wouldn’t care about the failed OTA updates otherwise?

Yea, a Mongoose would work. Check my signature if you want to borrow one of mine. Waiting list is minimal right now.

Dealer most likely won't care. They may just do the one that failed and whatever is needed to satisfy the recall, but they won't do all of them.

Has anyone with a 2021 gotten any more updates since the flurry of them that came in late July culminating in SYNC-25.2.1.6.5 and the fixing of the camera recall?
Maybe, if they figure out a solution to the fuel pump recall, we will get some more updates!

My truck hasn’t had OTA updates in probably a year and very rarely receives them before that. I tricked the dealership into installing the latest BCM update but that is all that has happened with my endlessly broken truck.

Would one of you wonderful folks look up available updates on 2 different trucks for me?

I’m wanting to update my truck and a friend’s truck but would like to know what I’m in for before buying another license.

2022 F150 - 1FTEW1EP0NKD52734

2021 F150 - 1FTFW1E54MFA54892

Thanks in advance for your time!

2023, please and thank you in advance.
I can no longer check pending updates, but OTA history shows you have gotten updates and I can tell you that connectivity is working fine.
