Since 3.5.4 mine has rebooted at least once every drive. Also Android auto does not reconnect after removing cell and coming back to truck.

 

The Ford Status Widget on Playstore (since I'm on Android)



It only updates if I refresh FordPass right before

 

Not incorrect. Myself, and many others, tried these steps and it did nothing.

It was shear coincidence that you got yours after doing this. You're better off lighting a cigar for Jobu.

 

Yea, the "tips" don't mean crap. I turned off the truck to pick up kids at daycare, was inside for 10 mins, came back outside and it had installed 3.5.3.2 without a prompt for me.

 

Correct, the steps themselves do nothing. It's just coincidence. I have received over 20 OTA updates between our F-150 and MME, and there is no user related steps you can perform to get an update if you don't have the OTA available flag on your VIN, but there are user interventions you can do if an update fails. For example if an update fails due to low 12v battery voltage, which does happen, you can drive the truck for a bit or hook up a battery tender and the next day when Ford resends the update it will likely be successful.

But your parking brake or whatever else is just nonsense.There is no behind the scenes set up where the customer is expended to solve some unknown dance to get OTA. It just matters when your VIN comes up in the queue. Once it's in the queue though, like I mentioned above there are certain things you can do to ensure it applies successfully like 12v voltage, ensuring you have automatic update schedule set up in case it's a vehicle inhibit update, and so on.

Edit:
I noticed one part in their steps which probably explains things better. They mentioned drive the vehicle for 15-20 minutes. That is a key thing. The steps for an OTA update are that the vehicle receives a flag that an OTA is available. The vehicle won't start downloading the update until the next key cycle.

I am going to use one of our recent updates on the MME to show what I mean. My wife's MME received the flag for the update at 2:55PM, but the actual download didn't start until she left work at 4:30pm.




This has been consistent on nearly every OTA we have received. In fact when I see an OTA Trigger Available on my F-150 since I am working at home, I go out and start the truck, let it sit for a minute, then turn it off. You don't have to drive it at all. Within minutes of that I will see the request_deliver_in_progress step.

So yeah, the steps outlined by the other user are bunk as far as "forcing" an OTA, that OTA Trigger Available is the ONLY thing that controls whether your vehicle is going to get an OTA update. Nothing you do matters until that happens. Once that does happen then you power cycling the vehicle starts the actual process of downloading and (if not vehicle inhibit) applying the update.

If you look at their steps, they are just accidentally completing the power cycle then let the vehicle sit steps. But you can accomplish the same thing like I do and just start the vehicle and then shut it off (giving it a minute or so since the engine is cold to run).

 

I updated everything in my 2021 Job 1 truck via FDRS/Mongoose three weeks ago on 1/13 and 1/14. I had the simultaneous 2x cell phone feature immediately, which tells me i was updated to 3.5.4.

Yesterday, I received a message in FordPass that said 3.5.4 was received and applied ... on 2/1.

Dunno what's up with that. Odd.

 

Would someone be able to check my vin. I noticed a few of my setting out of place after an oil change, and I had seen the updates was showing off and greyed out, so I rebooted the screen before I realized there was an update currently being pushed out so hopefully I didn't screw that up. 1FTFX1E83MKF01341 Thanks

 

Just checked again this morning and full screen Google Maps has appeared. I have the following versions on my Pixel 6 Pro......

Google - 14.4.6.29.arm64
Google Maps - 11.64.0702

Received 3.5.3 yesterday and got 3.5.4 this morning... seems to be functioning as per...
