Software Updates
I cannot tell what was the last Power Up you received because OTA history is only recorded for 60 days, and your last OTA was over 60 days ago. However, you have a 2022 which was built with most of the software in it already. Your Sync version is only a few months old, so you are fairly up to date but not completely. You are missing 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 and maybe 3.5.2 which only preps your truck for 3.5.3 and 3.5.4. Nothing to worry about in your case. You just have to wait for Ford to push the next update to you.
I called in to Ford CS and the woman there told me she sees a TON of errors coming from my truck, which could be the reason why i'm not getting any updates:
BLIS Inoperable - SSM51373 - 2/21
Tire Sidewall - SSM51381 - 2/23
Ford Pass App - SSM51379 - 2/23
12v Battery Voltage - Daily (yesterdays was while I was driving the vehicle)
While I was sitting in the truck playing with it and learning everything, the hazards flashed super quick. Then twice the truck has randomly turned on the parking brake out of nowhere while I was just sitting parked. Wonder if they might have to do with the 12v battery.
Thanks for the info! Would the 3.5.2 - 3.5.4 bring full screen Android Auto, and possibly fix the issue with Alexa not connecting to my Amazon account?

I see the low battery codes. Yes, having a bad battery can cause many issues. I would have the battery tested and replaced if needed. A bad battery can cause every day issues as well as prevent OTA's that are sent to you from installing.
3.5.3.2 (in your case, it will be this one as 3.5.3 is for 2021 trucks only) is the update that gives you full screen capability. It will do nothing for whatever issues you are having with Alexa. 2022 trucks came with Alexa built in already, and 3.5.3 gives 2021 truck both full screen and Alexa. Try resetting your APIM by turning on your truck, hold down the radio power button and the forward seek button together for 5-10 seconds until the screen reboots. If that does not do anything, you can try clearing the cache for Alexa on your phone, unpair the truck from the phone and the phone from the truck and repair it to start an all new fresh connection. If that fails, you can try a master reset on your touchscreen. It will erase all your saved data if you do this.

I got it to install earlier this week. This is one of those upgrades where your battery needs to be fully charged or it will fail. I had to put mine on the battery charger for awhile and then run the update to get it to install.
Where in FordPass do you see these pre notifications? The website or App? The only time I knew of an update pending was when @Livnitup checked my VIN. Thanks in advance. Have a great weekend!
It popped up as a vehicle alert.
