3.5.4 showed up today.. dual phone capability now.
Ford is really sending out a lot of OTAs lately it seems. I am hoping for that update soon too as I just got 3.5.3 Friday. The only thing I don't think I will like is that it seems to say that you can't have wireless CarPlay enabled (no support for the projected apps) when 2 phones are connected. That is the one thing I use 99% of the time, so it may be a non-event for me. Have to wait and see if this is true.

agree, I have android and wife has apple, but her phone is not connected, so no big deal. I got my 3.5.3 on wed or thur, so you may get it soon...
I’m sure a coincidence but, the one night I don’t park in a place connected to my home Wi-Fi is the night I get 3.5.3 on the truck - I guess to those who are waiting, you don’t need to be connected to WiFi it seems 🤷♂️
I bet you have 3.5.3, the truck was displaying differently when started this morning. When I got to work I checked my Ford Pass App on the phone and it said 3.5.3 had been installed. It's not showing in my picture, (I didn't start the truck for the picture) but Alexa is also enabled.

I received the recall letter and can see it when I log into my ford.com where I have that notification.
I set up Alexa and checked it by asking if my house front door was locked, which wasn't and Alexa locked it. Works fine with wake-up word but I noticed the Alexa icon is now gone from from the SYNC screen. Is that normal? First photo before setup and second after.
I also noticed while in AA pseudo full-screen and I press the button below the time in above photo to change the right side screen, it takes AA out of full screen.

It also disappeared from mine after setting it up. I'd like the visual reminder that it's enabled and think the Alexa icon should remain in the top status bar.

Are you talking about the blue (Sync-owned) Navigation button or the "AA home" circle near the top-left?
For the blue Navigation button, that would be expected since it's a Sync button and it has to take AA out of full screen.
For the other, I haven't tried that myself yet. (Personally I like having the Sirius info in the right panel and AA on the left. Though I probably would flip it to full screen if I'm listening to a podcast through the phone/AA.)
Took my truck to the dealer and requested a software update …
They performed an update and was told that the software version was up to date. I’m still not able expand the screen view
can someone please check mine?
The Sync version after 3.5.3 is received is 22293 Rev 610. This is what got me full screen CarPlay last Friday. Prior to that, I was also at 22192 Rev 498 like what you show above.

I agree

That makes sense
