I don't believe that's the case; having automatic updates off should inhibit the installation of any OTA but I would defer to @rugedraw on this since I've done my own updates in FDRS except for the last BCM & DDM/PDM OTAs.

I have auto update on and scheduled every day. It showed up as available in January and never applies or even attempts to update. It’s in park etc so
Not sure why it says "update status unknown". I have seen that before in other trucks, but not sure what happens during the OTA process for it to get to that point. That OTA trigger was created on 1/9 and it will stay in your queue for 2 weeks before it expires. In your case, your OTA dashboard doesn't show it expired like it usually does, but it is expired and that is why you cannot do anything on your truck. What's strange is that PTS shows you gave the truck consent on 1/15 to install the update, the truck downloaded all the files the same day, but it never actually tried to install the update.

This particular update is a big one and requires the truck to be inhibiited for 1.5 hours or so while it installs. Many people have had trouble with getting this update to install. If you don't have one already, get yourself a 10amp+ AGM battery charger. The next time this OTA gets sent to you, I recommend you drive the truck for a half hour or so in the evening before parking it for the night. As soon as you park it, connect the battery charger to it and set the update to install at 4am after the truck has been parked on the charger for hours.

I can confirm many truck owners have reported OTAs installing even with auto updates off. Only updates that require the vehicle to be inhibited will download and queue up, but not go through without "permission". Makes sense to that if you need to go somewhere and your truck happens to be in the middle of an update, you're stuck waiting. This actually happened to me earlier this week. After updating my truck a few weeks ago with FDRS to get fullscreen AA, I also made some FORscan changes and hard reset the APIM a few times. All my user data got released, and when I set my auto update schedule, I set it for 2:30pm instead of 2:30am and when I came out of Wendy's during my lunch break, I was locked out of my truck while PU1007 was installing for a good 20 minutes.

This gives me a chance to personally thank you for all your work with FORscan. I used your spreadsheet to enable unreal engine, adding HVAC controls to the Sync screen, turned of FENG, and my favorite: Glare free headlights. You, sir, are the man.

Off topic: But have you or anyone figured out how to turn off ANC? It doesn't seem to like my aftermarket subs very much and quiets them at high volume.

"Partial response" message at the top and "Vehicle Status" with the orange warning icon. Swiping down like instructed does nothing.

When I go to the Ford website to view the vehicle dashboard from my browser, it is showing no issues.

Has anyone else seen this?

The only other issue with this update has been that it reset MyView screens. I had to go reselect them all. I think I saw another person who reported something like this too but couldn't find it in the thread.

Thanks

If you have the B&O then try changing this in DSP: 783-01-01 Exxx xx--

I've received the "partial response" message a number of times in FordPass, but no status warning ⚠️ and not in conjunction with any updates. I was able to pull down and refresh the app. Everything then seemed normal.

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 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.
My truck is at the dealer to have them look into the battery and other codes that are being reported daily.. Also mentioned my Alexa not completing setup (on the truck side... the Amazon side is good, and i've tried everything you suggested but it seems like the truck just isn't completing the setup), the hazards randomly flashing quickly once, the parking brake randomly engaging while parked and sometimes while the truck is off and I'm just sitting in it. I mentioned that I was told that the truck needs updates that aren't going through because of the battery errors, so I'm hoping they update everything there as well as check out the battery (which was warranty replaced a few months back as well), but right now they aren't giving me any updates. When I go to the Ford Sync page, I see I'm now on V4.0.22294, from V21297. Is that the latest sync version? Will that include Power Up 3.5.3.2? All of these version numbers are pretty confusing, haha.

Yes, you are now up to date. I see in your history that they successfully updated your GWM, your APIM and the TCU. They also reset the BMS sensor to try and get rid of the low voltage codes. I assume they tested your battery and it came out good. When you get your truck back, you will have full screen capability and will be caught up as far as Power Up OTAs go.
