The reason you got the update is because your truck is finally able to communicate properly with Ford's servers. Many people have reported using the "send feedback" trick with zero results. I don't think it is a coincidence you got that update since you just got your APIM fixed. I think you would have gotten that update when you got it whether you sent feedback or not.

I am in the early access program, but i'm only signed up for bluecruise, It may help for other updates but I really don't know. I was also in Ford's Advanced Analytics Program last year for three months, that may have helped as well. I do feel lucky being a job 1 2021 and have had very little problems.

Its trash, Constant freezing of the reverse camera, phone disconnection, freezing of music. My truck was fine before this....

Received 4.2.2 on 4/8. 22 f150 plat pb. I noticed the dinging sound when I turn the car off is much louder than it used to be. Anyone else notice this?

@rugedraw or someone who can run my VIN. Saw a note on the Update Details page that 3.5.3 was being resent to me and even acknowledging that it is an additional attempt. However, that note is now gone with no changes. Still at Sync version 22192 Rev498. Interesting note that the schedule update button went grey but after I stopped the truck for a 1.5 hrs and restarted it the button is now toggable again. If someone can check the to see if it showing another attempt and if it is showing a failure I would appreciate it. VIN number 1FTFW1E83MFC05246. Trying to determine if I need to schedule another service visit and next oil change. Thanks!

Yea, it was resent to you on 4/20. It is still working on downloading the files. Hopefully it goes through for you this time around.
