I also was able to install an updated USB module in my truck to have a USBC to USBC for my phones.

I did make a video on doing the install with CyanLabs. I'm very happy I made the update to my truck.
Agreed.
It’s not a big change, but a welcome change.
I had a 2020 F350 with 3.4 so it seemed like a bigger deal with 3.0 on my F150.

Can you explain how you updated/replaced the USB module?

I mainly did it to fix a very laggy voice command issue. Literally 10 seconds to recognize my voice command. The master reset took care of it, so I am happy for now.

If you are updated to 3.4 latest build, and latest navigation, is there any reason to have the truck connect to your home wifi?
The wi-fi is only for updates?
