Power-Up 2.3.0 OTA rolling out

[Snakebitten]

I think he has answered your question Jeb.

His frustration is understandable, of course.

Meanwhile my adapter should be here today, and although I'm not retired, I look forward to hanging out in the barn tonight playing Ford Computer Tech!

Again, thank you for the inspiration

Good luck! You’ll enjoy looking under the electronic hood. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, although Jesse and Iceman are the real experts.

I don’t know if this is just a fluke, but I’ve received 3 OTA updates in the last week lol. I had no updates at all in 2021. I learned 2.3.0 is rolling out from this thread. When the ‘latest and greatest’ Ford pushed to my VIN was already several months old upon install I was a little cranky, but it led me to tinker with the system more.

January 11, 2022 - OTA 1.4.0
January 14, 2022 - OTA 1.7.0
January 18, 2022 - OTA 2.1.0

What I’ve been doing is manually hard rebooting the APIM twice after each successful install and resetting the scheduled updates feature to occur within 1 hour every time I park overnight. In the workshop manual I read that the parking brake was a parameter for OTA updates to successfully execute so I’ve also been sure to set it on even if it’s just parked in my flat driveway.

I was going to change my APIM country code as previously mentioned from Canada to USA to see if it would influence updates, but I did not attempt that yet whereas these updates suddenly just started to finally all come down the pipe.

I reboot the APIM twice because when I first started using ForScan with this generation I noticed that the APIM had to be hard reset twice for new settings to take effect. It’s as though there’s a process that hangs in the APIM and it needs extra convincing to restart.

I noticed this same issue after OTA 1.7.0

The PowerGenerator UI Element changed according to the change log but I didn’t actually see the change take effect until I hard reset Sync 4 twice in consecutive order even though the System version indicated 21146 Rev 145 the entire time.

OTA 1.7.0 also resolved (for me) some Sirius channel icons not appearing.

My suggestion to everyone here is to hold power and seek forward to reboot your system twice after each update (and after using ForScan to make edits).

The changes I made were:
Disable WiFi in Sync 4. Maybe a necessary port on my home router was closed, so I just removed it from the guesswork. Let the TCU work its magic.

Got in the habbit of setting the parking brake on as indicated in the workshop manual.

Hard reboot Sync 4 frequently.

Schedule update checks to take effect 1 hour after parking for the night.

Well I can't say for sure if it was any or all of these. But I turned off wifi, changed my update time to 10pm same day and used the parking brake.

Two days later 2.3.0 was installed.

One note: I think my update schedule had been lost at some point. I had originally set it to a Tuesday night. When I went to change it a few days ago it was set to 12:00am with no day. After fixing that (and doing those two other things) I got the update.

Folks, I would not be that thrilled by having the 2.3.0 installed. This OTA, it seems, breaks Speed Sign reconginition with Adaptive Cruise Control. Details here.

 

[Ajzride]

I don't use the speed sign recognition, but I do want my XM to work properly again, so that's a good tradeoff for me. I'm sure everyone will be different. Guess it's too much to ask that we fix one thing without breaking another.

Got the update today. Earlier in the day I turned auto updates off then later back on. Several hours later I had the new update. I also set a dat and time for updates; my settings for this had been deleted somehow.

 

[Skeldog99]

Looks like I should be getting an update soon

If you have Adaptive Cruise Control, can you please check this thread and report back your findings ?

Skeldog, what app is that in your screenshot?

That's the FordPass App for Android/IPhone

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

Thanks for the info but I don’t feel comfortable doing it myself. I don’t even own a laptop either.
I’ll just wait for it to figure itself out and let the OTA do it’s thing.
Thanks again

Well, like many here I got my new APIM installed and received a few updates including 2.1.

1. Now my phone pairing disappears each time I turn off the truck, so I have to repair each time I start the truck.
2. FordPass does not keep authorization after ignition is turned off and on.
3. Music album image doesn’t display for Bluetooth source.
4. Approach detection is sporadic.
