Other changes I’ve noticed with 3.5.3 are
1: Weather radar is focused on your current location as the initial screen. Far more useful.
thank you
2: CarPlay seems to initialize much better. That said I did have a post CarPlay freeze that required a reboot. Hopefully a one off.
3: you can still run with car play in the 3/4 screen, with the sidebar to the right.

I would recommend posting a request on the thread below so that someone with FDRS can check what modules you have pending. If you post or PM me your VIN, I can check to see your truck's current status and give you an idea of how far behind you are, but I do not have an active FDRS license to tell exactly what needs updating.

Still waiting for your response from when you asked me to PM you my VIN almost a year ago.

I might be the only person ever to actually get an issue looked at through the FoMoCo account lol
They called me on the phone and everything.

I'm hoping they call me to ask me for my 1099 so they can put me on their payroll.

This is why I am considering a battery maintainer for my 2021 F150, since it sits in the garage for weeks without being used or started. I use just a Noco Genius2 and connect it to the vehicle with the weatherproof connector that runs from the front grill to the battery so I can plug in the charger while the truck sits in the garage. I already have done this on two other vehicles, so they batteries don't get low (and especially since working remotely for like over 2 years). The electronics on the truck etc, probably drain the battery after weeks if just sitting.

Could you please check my vin? I am curious if it complained about low battery or if it affected updates: 1FTFW1ED3MFC11268
