I got my Job 2 truck last Nov and still not one single OTA. I did have about dozen FDRS updates that I completed manually but, that certainly defeats the purpose of the OTA concept. @Ford Motor Co.

 

Keep in mind that Tesla has FAR fewer product variants/options and a MUCH simpler electronics design on their vehicles. With the increasing number of F-150 variants due to not only options/models but also dropping/changing options due to chip availability, Ford has its work cut out for it. The key is to base OTAs on the current state of the vehicle, not the "as-built" state of course. But even then, the number of permutations given the many disparate modules in the truck is mind blowing.

 

Yeah 100% agree. I know people want OTA updates, I did too. I was even worried since I had my APIM replaced in Feb if something wasn't wrong because everyone else was getting updates it seemed like. But eventually they started coming along, and all has been well. We went over 100 years with OTA updates but now that they are possible, not having them for five months is unimaginable. It will come in time. Plus Job 2 trucks should already have BlueCruise and most of the major updates that are going out to everyone like us Job 1 owners. Doesn't make sense to push minor fixes most won't notice ahead of those of us that paid for BC but still don't have it activated while Job 2 owners have been driving with BC (when ordered) but are still complaining they aren't getting updates. I would gladly trade places and have had BC for the past five months.

 

@vulnox should be Job 2 trucks have BC when Ford builds it that way not when ordered that way - Ford deleted a lot of items from orders. I was supposed to get Active, ended with Assist 2.0 just to get the order processed without any notification to me.
@suryc - agree. I will hold off doing Ford's job for now but have everything to go the FDRS route if necessary.

 

You need to talk to your dealer about the notification. Changes can't be made to an active order by Ford for line item features without approval from the buyer. We had Active Park Assist removed on our Mach-E order and the dealer/we had to approve the change before the vehicle could be put back on the schedule.

That also isn't relevant to OTA updates, I said for vehicles with the option on them, that your dealer didn't notify you and that you still took delivery isn't on Ford. I am not saying that in a combative way, it's hard to word it in text, but we are discussing OTA updates and timing and what you brought up isn't Ford's fault. I haven't seen any dealer notices saying BC has to be removed, but I am sure it was an order constraint and your dealer was able to get the truck to you faster by making the change.

 

My Truck is a Job 1 (March 21) and just received a notice update for 2.6. What does 2.6 bring me?
thanks Steve.

 

You got an APIM update, that updated your Sync to a newer version. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_P...ersion_History

 

As per the release notes for 2.6: Ford Power-Up 2.6.0 Your vehicle can talk (Note that you may have already received an earlier version of Ford Assistant but this update is an enhancement.) Ever wish you could talk to your truck? Now you can with Ford Assistant. Just say, “OK, Ford” to start the conversation, then ask things like “How does my cruise control work?”, or “What does Pro Trailer Backup Assist do?”. Your assistant will tell you what you need to know. We also made a few changes here and there to keep things in tip-top shape. Ongoing updates like this help you enjoy the best possible version of your truck. Keep in mind that feature availability varies by model. For more information on these features, visit Ford.com/support or your digital Owner’s Manual.

 

My dealer just finished all the software updates for BC and while doing so replaced the IPMA. They completed the alignment procedure but now have a DTC they can't get rid of (U2101). Does anyone know how to resolve this?

 

I left mine at the dealership last night. They are closed now so I checked the Ford Widget tool. It doesn’t look like anything has been updated.
