2024 Software Updates - shown on Flash at dealer

[TaxmanHog]

Come on @TaxmanHog! We all know your a @Ford Motor Company inside man! You’ve got this already! Just keep being the voice for the rest of us good sir!

Nope, just a regular Ford Enthusiast like most folks on the forum, this is the first I've heard about the enhanced IPC & PPOB screens / functionality. Hopefully these enhancements reach our 22 & 23 trucks.

Is the charge screen truck not customized to the vehicle? Mine looks like my truck I just figured it was changed to match the configuration .

Some new icons at the very top of the screen too.

MachEforum is also going to very happy if those make it to the Mach-E. Always hate the grey, ugly icons

Optical illusion. Mankind doesn't have the knowledge or technology to solve such a complex issue.

In his X post he has an 8 minute video where he does a good job explaining what a Flash is and isn’t. Also some new 2024 features.

• Camera buttons don’t disappear in camera mode. Stay visible. Appear to have another view or two.
• Bed outlets illuminated. (He says this is new but they aren't)
• Frunk has the glow in dark button protector. They include the adapter that allows you to plug in a NEMA 50. (Edit - apparently added late 2023)
• Spray-in bed liner has slightly different logo.
• Specific to Flash: does not have Homelink, no zone lights on running board, has manual fold mirrors, no sliding rear window.
• Specific to Flash: has onboard scales, powered tailgate, tailgate step.

Some of the stuff pointed out is software based. However the new pro-power feature could be hardware... we will see though.

I thought it was mentioned in a review of the Platinum Black that turning off the truck and allowing ProPower to remain on would be coming to all previous trucks.

I purchased a late '23 Lariat and I had the frunk release button protector included as well as an adapter from the 30A to a 14-50 outlet.

My mid 2023 has the led for the bed power. Not sure that’s a new feature.

I will say, I am tired of having to "start" my truck to use the plugs.

Where did you find your adapter?

Interesting, I just looked and my 2022 has those also. Never noticed them. Apparently the guy in the X video didn't either. Edited my post.
