Was there an update recently that prevents AA Mirror from working? I just found out about the program, installed it, tried it out once, and the next time I tried to use it, it no longer shows in my Android Auto apps list.

‘’I contacted the service advisor at the dealer I bought the truck from. He suggested trying a master reset to see if the SSR would resolve itself, but sadly it did not. I am wondering if the differing order of OTAs being applied to our vehicles might be unknowingly down grading certain modules and causing some of these issues. I may take it in to see if they might reflash 2.1.0 and see if they changes anything. Too bad they are a few weeks behind…
Well, I called the ford service guy and made plans to take the truck in January 24th to see if they can re-flash all the modules to see if that resolves the issue. This MUST be a programming issue that wasn't caught in QA (if they have QA... ) as there is no way I can perceive that a button on one menu links to the wrong underlying menu (SSR goes to the Seed Limit Assist menu) yet all of the other functions seem to work. I say all functions, but I do not use SiriusXM and have that turned off so cannot comment on whether it works per the many who say it is now not functional. Hopefully I will get OTA 2.1.1 between now and Jan 24th (unlikely) at it will magically fix my issue (improbable)....

How did you get the KMs on top. I get Miles on top when I show both but would prefer Kms

Dash, settings, check box on km/h.

Gotta love these quirks

OK makes sense then. Mine does same with miles on top because I have base settings in Metric. Would be nice to pick which sits on top regardless of which side of border we are on.

Look at the placement of the limit sign, as compared to current speed

It's definitely one of those "When you see it" pics. And it took me longer than it should have to spot the bug.

I wonder.. Did QA miss it too? Or did they not even test the scenario?

Nice catch!

Just a quick update. After my new problem with Lane Keeping and the associated issue with SSR, I decided to go ahead and take the truck in to have it looked at.

The tech had to reprogram and calibrate the IPMA to the latest SW code and specs. Said it took them roughly 3 hours to download and apply the new software. I had no issues on my return trip home, and both SSR and lane keeping seem to be working as they used to.

In my testing, I was also getting an error message about a ground fault when testing the PPOB generator. They checked it out too and found no issues and said it was operating fine. After returning home, I searched for this issue and lo and behold found the TSB covering this issue. Although it say it was to be fixed in July 2021 in an OTA, it obviously has not been corrected yet. ust thought I would post here as a search in the forum did not return any references to this TSB number. My apologies if this part is a duplicate.



They also checked the 2 recalls for sagging underbody insulation and checking for a damaged coolant sensor. They said mine were OK, although they didn't yet have the rivets/connector kits needed to fix the sagging insulation and it would need to be done on another visit.

Have a good day all! Pre Happy New Year!!

Default After diagnostic visit, pre APIM replacement

It looks like the FDRS test program had a mix of effects on my truck. Just logging.

Wifi hotspot is once again registering with the FordPass App.

Truck has started entering deep sleep mode within minutes of shutting off engine. I've made zero changes to my usual usage.

Remote start from the remote failed. Deep sleep makes app start impossible.

Unable to modify software update app on infotainment.
