odd, I have a 7/25 build week also, and as soon as I linked the phone to the car via bluetooth, the first screen the popped up was to set up phone as a key, then the backup start code and door key. Strange it's not working for everyone. Wonder if it's a hardware issue and not just software?

@Ford Motor Company can we please have a formal PAAK clarification on when this is expected? It was a feature that I looked for and purchased.

Mike - would you check my VIN again? I have received 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 the last couple of days. I'm curious if either of those applied any of these updates. Thank you.

I’m am starting to wonder how many of these updates, including PAAK will be done at the dealership when you go in for service. Basically @Ford Motor Company forcing some of us to go into service, pay our fee and get an update without telling us we are paying for an update.

I am due for the 10k service, I am itching to schedule it and see if any updates come from that appointment.

I took mine in for service this week and asked if there were any updates. Two showed up. One for bluecruise and one general update. They didn't have time to complete that day and wanted me to schedule a time to come in. They said both updates would take a couple of hours to complete. I asked if they would come in the power up updates and he said no this needed to be done at the dealership.

Under Truck, Settings, General button, expand the chevron "About Sync"

Unfortunately the Power Up version only appears for a few days under Truck, Settings Software Update, Update Details for a few days after the update has processed. It would be nice for them to leave a current version listed

That is an interesting thought, but you can rest assured, I'll invest my money in my own Mongoose adapter and FDRS before paying a dealer to do it. It is the only way to really get it done right and when it is needed.

It's a different concept, but truly there is NO service these trucks should need for thousands and thousands of miles. If there is a SW/firmware update and Ford doesn't push it to us, then shame on Ford for saying that the customer means nothing to them after the sale. There is no reason they don't deliver the best experience they can by keeping the SW up to date.

Tesla has formally said there is no such thing as needed service. It is nothing more than a cash cow revenue stream for the dealerships.

When my truck was in for problems and DTC's I asked multiple times to have some of the modules updated. I'm starting to wonder if my service advisor even noted them or asked the mechanic, but they were worthless. Only standing by the sorry story that just because they are in FDRS doesn't mean they are for my truck and Ford had issued no directive to install them.

Here's the list as of now:
Ford F-150 Lightning Phone as a Key issue 1FTVW1EV3NWG03253-21-Oct-22


The BCM/FHCM pair showed up the same day (8 Oct).

I think you're waiting for that RFA update for PAAK to be enabled. At least that's what it took for it to work on mine.

With the Mach-E, I've heard of updates showing up in FDRS that weren't actually compatible with the car and could cause issues if installed. Is that something we need to worry about with the Lightning too?

Thank you - correct on RFA, hoping they get to that soon. I also was curious what modules might have been applied/updated with these last 2 releases 3.5.3 and 3.5.4.

10 days ago on the 12th I had 9 updates and today I only have 8. The APIM has been updated and it is no longer in the list. The other 8 remain the same. RFA as you note is the PAAK and unfortunately there is at least one WACM - the update for the phone charger that can't be done OTA.

Hoping all of those others get wrapped into an upgrade soon. Only time will tell.

The next time I spring for the $23 to get a PTS subscription for 72 hours I'll do a screengrab of my Lightning's OTA dashboard. It shows the powerup versions as well as the module(s?) that got updated by that OTA.

But only for the last 60 days
