Thanks for your input.

The OTA trigger for 2.8.1 expired back on 1/24. I can see it still shows pending in the system, but the OTA did expire and you have to wait for it to be resent to try it again. Many people have had issues with that particular OTA and the low battery issue. It requires the vehicle to be inhibited for almost 2 hours while it installs. The next time you get the OTA trigger, connect your truck to a 10amp+ battery charger in the evening when you park it for the night, and leave it charging overnight. Set the update to install at 4am or so after the truck has been on the charger for hours and keep it on the charger while it installs. This will significantly increase the chance of it installing.

Any validity to these voodoo tactics?

Zero validity to anything in that video. Anyone that tried the video and got an update afterwards got it out of pure coincidence. That video has been debunked by people much smarter than me when it comes to these things. There is nothing you are anyone can do to trigger an OTA.



You should get a notification in your Fordpass app.

This scenario seems normal. We're all in the boat together on this. and I'm betting when its time for the updates to bring in 3.5.3 with full screen maps that we've all get the updates.....

Wonder when Ford will stop playing with the system and stop issuing updates!
