Power-Up 2.3.0 OTA rolling out

[Jesse-Infotainment]

So I’ll eventually get it OTA if my 1.7 got stuck?
Also does the 2.3 include the Apple maps in the display etc and the updates that 1.7 offered ?

Yes and it’s improved. You get the same details as you do with built in nav

My truck has 2.1, but 23 failed. Status = Failed, Details = OTAM-E1016.

Any idea what is going on?

All for about the cost your dealership would charge just to LOOK at your truck with FRDS

My dealer took it in and attempted 1.7.1 for a few days for free. Told me it was under warranty as long as less than 36,000 miles.

You’re lucky. Did they get it installed.

Only the IPMA update can help that. The APIM was already capable at a low level. I was able to have cams at speed after the IPMA update with a very old version of SYNC 4

I’m sure you’ve been asked this a ton but, can the dealer update this? Or is it better to do yourself. My truck was built late June but I can’t access the cameras at speed

No it was a few weeks ago before 2.3.0 was in FDRS. So it sat for almost a week while they tried and then asked Ford to replace the APIM. That was denied based on there being a fix coming soon.

So in saying that should I cancel the appointment I have in a couple weeks to get this looked at and just let the OTA do it’s thing with it ? I don’t want to waste their time and mine if it’s gonna update eventually even tho my auto updates can’t be turned on no sync version etc and didn’t get 1.7.
What’s your thoughts ? Just wait and see how it goes ?

This is why a few of us are "taking matters into our own hands".

I'm not suggesting everyone should, but these latest high-tech equipped trucks, especially the Powerboost, are simply beyond the current expertise of the average Ford service department. Early adopter risk!

The good news is that it's NOT rocket science. ?

I can’t really speak for every dealer or every Situation. It’s hard because I know there honestly are dealers that will try their best just theyre not trained or experienced enough.

my OPINION is that you’ll be more frustrated than anything. The time and effort and all involved just to most likely be told they couldn’t do it is not worth it.

the money it costs to buy the parts and software to do it yourself is well worth the investment with these trucks. The updates have proven to be problem solvers and to me that is worth it alone.
You just have to decide if you want to deal with the dealer or sit at home and do it yourself at your own pace. I think the later is the best because it’s easier

Can somebody help me

I have a job 1 truck built around July. I'm in Canada. Checking my truck only says it has Power-Up 1.4.0 so I am way behind.

VIN is:
1FTFW1E8MKE02174

Anything that can be checked or anything I can do to get it to update?

Vin is missing a character.

You can go the manual route that others have

I'm going to defend the poor mechanic that has been working at a Ford dealership for say..... 25 years and has fed his family and paid his mortgage by repairing water pumps, timing chains, rear differentials, valve jobs........ You get the picture.

So now the Service Writer submits the next work order in his box and he reaches in and reads this:

Customer description of issue : "When I open the FordPass App on my IPhone 13, it no longer allows me to remote start my truck and then launch the ProPower Onboard 7.2KW generator from inside my RV."

Think about that for a moment. Put yourself in his shoes. ???

We, the consumer, WANT this amazing stuff and the manufacturer is more than happy to engineer it and equip our trucks with it. But how can you expect the expert at rebuilding your transmission to have the skillset for a completely different...... Well, skillset?

I predict that soon each dealership will need 1 nerd with a pocket protector and hands that have never been soaked in 5w-30 working in Bay #9 (The Wedding Singer Table #9 ?) The workbench won't be littered with wrenches, but rather multiple monitors and some fancy 12 Port Juniper switch.
