Power-Up 2.3.0 OTA rolling out

[MikeYQM]

Damn it! Still waiting for that unicorn update to get mine activated....

@Ford Motor Company won’t roll it out to us lowly Job 1 peasants until somebody sues.

either way, we deserve compensation from @Ford Motor Company

Anyone noticed the CarPlay screen is messed up ? It seems they shrunk the the resolution, exposing a black rectangle behind it. Also the Phone List at the top left is misaligned:

IMHO, It looked better in previous versions of APIM

So I actually think that's on Apple this time. I'm still stuck on the dreaded 1.7.1 (despite having the usb stick in for 4 days and counting now) and I have the black border as well on the older version of Sync

Still hasnt kicked off? I know its not that much fun maybe try a master reset/ then insert the USB. That USB us good forever in that truck. So if you pull it you dont have to redownload it.

Not yet, I've tried everything but the master reset, on my way to do that now. I got hopeful last night, I swear I saw some usb activity via the little red light on the stick but nothing to wake up to this morning.

truck needs to be running throughout the entire update until it say restart required. Master reset will remove ford pass so youll have to add it back. Justso you know

Running as in the engine running? I thought it would only update when it was in accessory mode, on but not actual engine running. Shoot maybe that's my problem, I haven't really had it truly running all that much.

No for that update to kick in truck needs to be running.

Right. I can't stress enough how important it is to follow the prompts in FDRS exactly as they are written. I remember that, for most of the updates, the prompts read "ignition on, engine off." But for one of the updates the prompt was "ignition on, engine on." I almost missed it. I made it a point to slow down, read the prompts carefully and follow them exactly after that.

SpeedracerCJR- I am in the dreaded 1.7.1 boat as well. I am still trying to get that update too.
I reset everything this morning and have the truck running as we speak. Been about an hour so far. I will let you know if anything happens but I have received no messages on the screen about "DO NOT REMOVE USB" so I'll keep you posted.

So I actually think that's on Apple this time. I'm still stuck on the dreaded 1.7.1 (despite having the usb stick in for 4 days and counting now) and I have the black border as well on the older version of Sync

Yeah I've seen borders and no borders at various times and various versions of Sync and iOS. It doesn't bother me too much since it's just a pixel or two.

What does bother me are the rounded corners. Not sure who is responsible for that though. Apple might just be sending a black background assuming that it would look normal on 99% of cars.

Mine has always been like that. CarPlay itself always had that thin black like all the way around it.

Can you post a screenshot so I can compare ? Also, what version of sync are you running ?
