Not entirely true. The sensei himself (Jesse) uses it to load firmware/software. But in the hands of a non-Ninja one is more likely to stab one’s self. 🥷

Hi rugedraw,
Please check my vin#1FTFW1E88MKD95990
I rec'd 2.6 shortly after it was returned from the dealer where they eventually replaced the battery and brought the truck "up to date" 6 months ago. Then about a month ago, I rec'd the weird numbered "update" ending in ..PUA ???
Since then nothing, auto update is on for all 7 days and I've tried manually but nothing.
Ford Pass says "You’re All Set There are no actions required right now."

Completely normal. There are two weird numbered updates. You were sent both, but one of them is in limbo. It was sent to you on 9/13, but the status is blank. The OTA trigger was sent to you, but the truck never downloaded the files and it still shows as pending. Nothing to worry about...it's a small patch to prep you for future updates. They didn't get your truck "up to date". They did successfully repair your APIM in late July. Since then, you've gotten a few OTA's, so I think you're good to go. Just gotta be patient.

It will "lie" sometimes.

My truck tells me, I'm up to date and there are no updates available for download. However, a friend checked my VIN and found a list of 7 OTAs that need to be down loaded.

I got 3.5.2 OTA yesterday on my 2021 Job2(August build) F150, so today I checked my truck using FDRS while I was at the dealer working and had an APIM update available, so I did it, it was 5gigs of files .

First thing that caught my eye is the layout is noticeably different (clock is now in the LH corner) and I am now able to make Android auto "full screen" (pictured, it gets rid of the side bar on the RH side of screen)

Also the onboard navigation changed as well, 3d view is at different angle now , and map animations when driving have become A LOT more fluid. Unfortunately still no Alexa yet

EDIT: as of this afternoon I now have Alexa built-in capability! I also received a new tab on the mini screen on RH side for off-road status

Alexa Icon popped up this afternoon

Wow, not only is my Auto Start not working since I got 2.8.3 (Yes, my battery is fully charged), I just got the 3.5.2, and now when I lock my doors with FordPass, my mirrors don't fold.

2 steps forward, 1 step back.
