Thanks!
Your truck is behind what most trucks seem to be at on the OTA updates and the last OTA attempt in January failed so if I were you I'd try and get the dealership to do all the software updates listed to bring your truck up to current levels. Hopefully you can get them to do these updates for free considering the OTA history because it will take many hours for the software updates listed and I'm sure that would be a fortune if out-of-pocket.

I have Sync4 21281 Rev 244 and my latest OTA was 2.3.0. Have seen others getting OTA 2.4.1.

@Livnitup you mean that this is NOT Covered under the Warranty?

I've seen guys post that their dealership did it under warranty for free and I've seen others post that the dealership said they would charge for it so I don't know to be honest. I've also seen guys say that the dealership claimed their truck was up to date despite FDRS clearly showing it had updates. I would advise anyone taking their trucks in for the updates to show the service manager the printout of the updates I've posted for them here so that they don't try and claim it's up to date.

Also, after the updates listed are done it's common for additional ones like APIM to then show further updates that seem dependent on the initial updates being done. I've personally done the FDRS updates to my own truck and I've seen this happen first hand.

Hey Livnitup, Can you run my VIN in and tell me where my truck is as far as updates please? 1FTFW1E83MFA71094 I can't get that info no matter where I look. Truck or Ford Pass.

Thank you. That is where I sit presently as well so hopefully 2.4.1 brings some more functionality. I'm really wanting the ability to have the cameras on while driving but I have no idea what sync version or power up update adds this.

These are available updates that can be pushed out to your truck via OTA but when this will happen is something only Ford knows. You truck didn't get the Power-Up 2.3.0 OTA update according to the history and I believe the Power-Up 2.5.2 is the newest that some have received - this is also the job1 truck Bluecruise update for trucks optioned with the BC prep package.
