OTA updates have been such a pain for my Mach-e, several trips to the dealer and no-luck. Saw this video and have now received 2 updates in 24hrs. THANK YOU!!
Downloading this video for future reference
Thanks man
So basically the squeaky wheel gets the grease! Ty for your time and effort.
First time it didn’t work for me. Just tried it and got an update while still watching the video!
This worked for me thanks a million!!
It works over WiFi as well. Thanks for sharing!
For most people, you`ll have the best success shutting off your wifi and letting the updates download over the cellular modem in your truck.
I have squat for ATT signal where I live. I'll give this a whirl keeping wifi on to see what happens.@@lardiop
I have mustang Mach e, was getting no updates, followed your instructions walked into my office and had the latest update within 15 minutes ✌🏻
Which buttons did use on the mach e?
On the steering wheel, volume down+right arrow (forward) button@@chada472
Thank you! I’m not sure why, but it worked and my bluecruise is working and full screen on CarPlay now. Thanks!!
Glad it helped!
was your blue cruise not working? My truck came with the map expired for blue cruise to work and dealer has no idea how to update this. pretty frustrating. Just followed the video now and hope updates start happening.
@@jskyba so I cancelled an update back in December and all updates completely stopped, so my bluecruise wasn’t working and I was about 4 or 5 updates behind. I’m not sure how “the map expired” works, but I followed this and after about 3 or 4 days, I had bluecruise and the most up to date software. The dealership could help you and they’re choosing not to if you ask me…I was close to ordering the computer hook up thing and doing it myself, but thanks to this guy, I didn’t have to.
@@rmcglynn80 thank you. I hope this solves all issues. had it at dealership for a day and they said car is not taking any updates. but today I got 3.5.2 and now am doing these new steps from vide to see if I can get more updates
@@jskyba honestly after a couple days, I was like, “oh this is bullshit” but I was wrong. I hope it works for you bc I feel your pain for real.
Hey brother is your truck flareside? If it is where did you get the pocket fender flares, been having trouble finding some all they have is for styleside beds.
It worked for me
It’s said 3.52 update is incoming since October but hasn’t updated and will try this at home.
I have no cell service at my home in the mountains. Wonder how this will work. Will check it out tomorrow
What happens if no cell service in my area? Is it possible to update via WIFI only?
Did your f15p come with that gauge cluster?
When I go to update details just says up to date no version number. Mines a late 21 powerboost.
Doesn’t seem like the 15 inch screen Lightning has an option to send feedback in the manner you mentioned.
My 21 won’t let me change update time. I change it, hit save and then go back in and it’s still 12:00
Really hoping this works. 2021 F-150 Platinum. My friend has the 610 revision and his works, mine does not. I have the 243 revision.
I’m still having issues needing to reset my GPS. Now it won’t even reset to fix the lost signal issue. Far as I’ve checked I’m up to date. Frustrating to monthly reset the GPS
I rebooted the screen twice as you said then I connected to wi-fi when I went to the next step went to general scrolled all the way to bottom but there is no send feedback icon to select. What do I do in this case?
The wikipedia link you posted is not a good link.
Links dont appear
How will I know if the update worked. Will my truck give me a notification?
Waiting on the big full screen update for the F250, I understand it is 5gb. Do you need to be truck modem, or can I keep it on my wifi/fiber to help speed up the download?
The best method that I have found is to shut off the wifi, make sure you're somewhere that has good cell signal, and let it download that way. It doesnt cost you anything to do it that way.
How do I know if I have the sync thing?
4/22/23-New 2023 Bronco will not connect to Ford Pass
Wi-Fi will not allow me to turn it off. Also when I search for Wi-Fi networks none show. The vehicle modem is not working. The connected menu is not showing either. Have called Ford Technology several times. They are saying this is a known issue and to wait for the next over the air update. It appears to me this vehicle will not update. We will see. Sucks to buy a brand new vehicle and not have the technology working.
How do you reboot a 8 inch screen without the seat button?
Mine keeps saying it’s up to date but it doesn’t have the full screen Apple CarPlay
2024 Ford Lightning is still on the sync4 system. Our 2023 has done two minor updates in 3 months and I’m WAY behind on updates. Hoping this method works…
Would this work on a 18 f150?
Well didn’t work after the first 48hrs. Didn’t drive my truck at all between that time if it makes a difference.
This really seems like voodoo, but I really do think this works. I was stuck on 2.7.something for a while because of a battery issue, but after doing this a few times, I am up to 3.5.2 as of today (5/17/2023) 2021 F-150 PowerBoost.
I received 3.5.3 5/20/23. I was hoping for use of rear camera while driving update on my 21 Fl50 502a. Did you get that update?
@@racercalleddantanmo I got that one just before the 3.5.2, I think.
@@racercalleddantanmo I did get it - I believe II am current at this point with 4.5.something.
I have a 22 platinum and these options aren't even available on my screen
Still nothing 😞. Tried it 2 separate times .. 😔
2024 F150 XLT still using Sync4
What if you don't have AT&T in you r area for the modem, keep on wifi?
You can try, but sites like F150forums and F150gen14 are filled with anecdotal experiences noting that you'll have the best chance with downloads coming over your cell modem as opposed to wifi.
This doesn’t work
I’m having a failure to update for the first time on this truck. 2021 f150 sync 4. I followed your procedures and when i tapped on the screen too review updates, all i got was it saying there was an available update described below and there was nothing below. On my FordPass app on my cell phone, it describes the update. This update has failed 4 times now. I called ford customer service about this and they told me what was showing up on their end was that it failed because of my battery not being up to charge. I put my battery on a tender charger to full capacity and the update still failed. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?
Same here. My truck has over 28 attempts to update and still no love. Trickle charged the battery to get it up to full and still no successful update. With all the electronic extraneous activity going on in this truck, why can't they use an charger from the hybrid battery to keep the truck's 12 volt topped off? I'm retired but have a part time job for something to do. It's 10 minutes away from where I live so not much charging going on. Eventually I go to a dark truck in the morning after a while. Just maddening. Never had to worry about my 12 volt or have to manually charge the battery on anything I've owned over the years. This one is supposed to wipe my ass, but I guess it uses so much battery power waiting to wipe that the battery goes low. There's where the darn inverter would come in handy. It's a pretty obvious oversight in my opinion. Anyway, the update battle rages on! (Why do we need to put the parking brake on??? It was never explained.)
@@SgtBFGunner I took my truck to the dealer to let them update it and it kept failing for them too. They said the apim module was bad and would need replaced. $900 fix. They also told me they had to replace several of them. Not good news.
@@jhamilton968 Damn, another module. Had to have my transmission control module replaced, backordered for months. Way too many "modules". Thanks.
Testing this out with my 22 F350, which has the blank update screen issue.
Did it work for you?
@@jasoncarpenters7838 Negative, tried it twice and still no luck unfortunately. Went to dealer yesterday to get fixed and their WiFi was down, still no fix. Giant waste of time, now I have to go back Monday...
Does this include transmission updates
I have the larger screen and I have to record feedback. Any tips for this?
21 F150 sent 3.5.3 seven days ago, has downloaded some files, stuck on others, tried this method 36 hours ago and nothing so far
Yes, there are issues with a small file downloaded near the end of the 3.5.3 update that doesnt seem to be completing for a lot of folks. My truck is in the same boat. Just wait it out or use FDRS.
Send feedback is not available on my 21
Did not work on my 2021 powerboost or my 2022 Mach E.
What versions are you stuck on?
I've been trying this exact procedure for a week straight. Still stuck on 2.7.3. '21 F150 Platinum.
Change your battery. There’s some defect with the batteries from
Ford where they don’t stay up where they need to. I changed mine earlier today and had an update available when I got home from
The parts store.
@@garricksmith417what battery did you get?
Links don't work
10.5 l/100km!!! You drive downhill usually lol
Hello, So we have a 2022 F-150 with all the Options, Why is it that our TRUCK isn't being sent the OTA Updates for the Blue Cruise System??? No one has the answer so far and our system is at 1.0?????? What gives, would you gave any Idea??
Has this worked for anyone else? Be interested in knowing what the source is...
It helped me bump the update for a recall but it’s stuck at 2.7.3
Just started it for the second time. Got nothing when I did it 2 days ago.
Idk how or why, but this worked
Gonna give it a shot tonight. Just got 2.7.3 randomly today and apparently that came out in February so need to try to force it. Will report back. Only thing different on my end was I didn’t get a message after rebooting the screen twice…..
Any luck I’m also stuck on 2.7.3
My car doesn’t have wifi because ford decided that the middle east versions of sync 4 have their wifi disabled
How do I fix this??! Wanna update my Sync 4 on the Bronco.
@@TragicHamad you can't unless someone with FDRS and Mongoose plus where they physically change the APIM (sync 4) update to the original unrestricted version
سيارتي وارد امريكي فيها وايرلس وللاسف مافي تحديثات
I’ve been stuck on 2.7.4 since October, I’ve tried this multiple times and no luck so far on my 21 XLT.
Same here, my guess is it worked for him because he got FDRS
Me too man. We may have the same build date….@jetdust
Same. Just tried this tonight. Fingers crossed.
Exact same situation. 2.7.4 in October is my most recent.
You can go to the forums and ask guys to run your vin to see if there is a pending update. The guy told me I didn’t have a pending update in 60 days so looks like it hasn’t been my turn yet. That and my battery is bad. Doesn’t hold charges and my auto start/stop get disabled so that’s going to be an issue for me too whenever it actually gets pushed to me.
Not working
Check the OTA site linked in the description to see if Ford is even pushing updates to your truck right now. There are also issues with 3.5.3 that are causing it to not install.
Thanks for the video. I just ran this through. Hoping that 3.5 update comes in.
Here is the Wikipedia article for this curious
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Power-Up_Version_History
There are a lot of variables involved with actually getting the updates form Ford. The 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 updates have been a bit of a train wreck for Ford and are just starting to go out to MY21 and MY22 trucks. You might need to wait until it gets in your update queue, check the description for a link to how to see that for your truck.
Looks Like NO ONE KNOW'S WHAT THEY ARE DOING, OR TALKING ABOUT!!!! And FORD Has NOT A CLUE EITHER!!! And This Is OLD STUFF. You should Come Back and UPDATE IT!!!! An OTA UPDATE Got Rid of this Update Stuff.... And..... FORD Said to NOT take the Truck Off of WIFI!!!! DO NOT Do it.
Don't you see the problem? Your car shouldn't need that many updates it should be Built correctly the first time. I think I'll just buy something that works the first time instead of having to jump through hoops and go on forums to make my car work correctly. And we have many issues at the dealer programming as well. Half the time system is down
Tried a few times, nothing. Would have better results lighting my undies on fire and running around the house. Time for the dealer
What version are you on right now?
There's definitely something different going on with these updates. I'm just a couple behind but it's my understanding that 4.1.1 thru 4.1.3 have been out since January. I finally got the first of 3, and was told by ford that the updates cone out to the oldest produced lightnings to tge newest. If that's true then I should've been one of the first to get all the updates. Mine came to the dealer June of last year. So I returned to the deal to have them push the other 2 updates, only to find out that the other 2 updates aren't available yet for my lightning platinum to be pushed. Strange. So just because there are newer updates for the lightning out there doesn't mean they are available for your VIN. Everyone tells me to be patient.
Now I'm thinking that even if I had an ODB-2 with a paid subscription you may not be able to get these updates.
Such updates are required on any other car except for Ford. What does that tell you?
