Power-Up 4.2.1.2 - Addresses modem issue

[RedLightning86]

Got 4.2.1 couple days ago. But no YouTube. Thought it was supposed to be on 4.1.3.

hopefully you got it. I didn’t see it on mine at first either. But if tap the Entertainment tab at top right of app screen, while in Park, you might see it

Got 4.2.1.2 yesterday (03/24) when I plugged back in after a run to grocery store.

The screen you saw in your truck after 4.2.1 successfully updated was an error by Ford (confirmed). The update did install correctly, just left that phantom screen up.

My Sync revision is 640. Same revision since I’ve had it.

Sorry, no Revision number change, I’m going say no update vs phantom screen.
The rev version is same at pickup (rev 640). Not missing updates, cause I don’t know what I’m missing. Thanks tho!

I understand your stance.

I had the identical thing happen as you did. For me, I verified via FDRS that the update applied and then also separately verified via an individual with the Ford team. I also reported that screen as an error and the feedback reached the software development team.

If modules updated (gateway) but no APIM (UI) change, I don't think you would see a revision change.

I understand I'm not going to be able to change your mind. Good luck!

It seems weird that I am on a Lariat and just now received 4.2.1.2 but not 4.3 with the new UI. Does anyone know why some trucks seem to keep getting new 4.2.x updates rather than 4.3. I wonder if the newer trucks (december 2022) are just on an old release train for some reason. I would like the updated UI

Same for me. MY23 Lariat. I never got the prior updates with the UI enhancements but I got both 4.2.1 and 4.2.1.2 after putting the truck on an overnight trickle charge.

Two interesting questions here

Has anyone who isn't Early Access actually received the new UI? I know most people initially were "early access" only for that? A local friend who has an end of the year MY 22 hasn't gotten the new UI update.

Also- My truck is a blend date 5/20/22 and I typically receive most updates day of. It looks like this update (4.2.1.2) is only or MY 23 and maybe late MY 22?

I'm on 4.2.1 with new UI.

These Powerup Updates and their numbering structures are wild. Early on, people who needed a specific update like PAAK would get a Powerup that was non sequential (like a hot fix)., but it seems like this modem is a hot fix but now uses the regular numbering structure.

Under which operational process?
Manual on/off
Remote Start (are your remote start preferences changed)
Departure time (are your preferences changed?)

My heated wheel does not work when started with departure but does work when started with the APP start button. This is since the 4.2.1

Your picture is that delivery, or being towed for another reason?

 

[Robilium]

Towed due to battery CSA recall

 

[MontanaLightning]

Just received 4.2.1.2!

Ok I'm seriously beyond frustrated. How is it the dealer says I'm fully up to date when my current powerup is in the 4.2 range and you guys are in the later 6.x range?

What should I do?

Because Ford does not pay them to perform modules updates and nobody likes to work for free. They will always give you some excuse or say it is up to date. The only way a dealer will update a module(s) is if there is an open campaign, recall, TSB etc that they can bill Ford for. Module updates can take hours to do manually.

So how do I get this piece of crap updated this is getting to be a real source of frustration along with the issues getting my pro connected charger.

Just be patient, it will eventually come. Being angry won't make it happen any faster.
