Thank you for sharing, this is how you can share and add value to the forum. I know corporate communications are tough and I'm sure they note you can't share some things, but providing a bit of insight or that a change is coming that causes frustration for your owners, goes a long way for PR.
I can assure you people get the feedback on the other side (ha). I also share feedback from the forums to teams, too.
In reading @Ford Motor Company 's post he seems to refer to those that have WAL working but they don't have the toggles to turn it on and off or at least turn off the horn honk copnfirmation.
In May 2025, I sent a PM to @rugedraw , who told me there was a very lengthy list of software updates available for my vehicle and that it would likely take years for me to receive all the updates OTA. So I made the investment in a mongoose, battery charger, and a 2-day FDRS license to bring my vehicle up to date. The only module I wasn't able to update was the BCM because it required some kind of official Ford login to do so. It's been 6 months since and haven't received the BCM update over-the-air. What is a Lightning owner to do to get the BCM update?
Smoooooth talk your dealership service manager to slip it in gratis..... or at least a nominal service fee.
Do you have any recalls to complete? It should literally only take them 5min to do.
I received a letter from Ford in October (attached) with the 25S49 recall notice, however it says, "Your vehicle is now operating with the most up-to-date software to address this safety recall, and Ford recorded that the remedy for your vehicle's recall has been completed."
I had a glitch in the matrix yesterday after work. My IC went back to the menu view during driving. Checked and found the WAL toggles this morning. Does it work? Nope. I did get that BCM Frunk update back in September.
We used to be able to help people do this easily, but thanks to Ford's awesome new cybersecurity system, all you can do is pray to the OTA gods and hope they shine their light upon thee.
