Hi @rugedraw, just want to say you’re doing the Lord’s work here! Just bought a 2021 Lariat with Canadian spec, auto-updates are greyed out and truck says it’s up to date. Thankfully I still have warranty. Could you check my VIN? 1FTEW1EP1MKD28599
Thanks!
Thanks!

Sync 4 auto update wont turn on, its a Ghost.
Post or PM me your VIN so I can take a look at your truck.
Auto updates being off does not prevent an OTA from being sent to you or even installing. The only thing auto updates does is prevent the truck from installing an update that requires the vehicle to be parked for "x" amount of time while it installs. Sync 4 does not allow updates via USB unless FDRS is being used. The issues where auto updates cannot be turned on and off are a deeper rooted problem that only affects some job 1 2021 trucks that get a faulty OTA that caused to trucks to get stuck in OTA limbo and never get updates. Your truck being a 2019 is on Sync 3, so these issues are of no importance to you in particular. Being able to update via USB is not a bad thing seeing as Ford's OTA process is a complete sh*t show. Being able to update easily via USB is great, IMO. Anyone that has a job 2 2021 or 2022 and up F150 will not be affected by this issue, either. Ford is just very slow in pushing out updates.
