I still dont get ota updates. Job 1 truck. Last one was Nov 2021. Thats when 1.7.1 broke everyones trucks. Been doing updates myself. Frustrating as hell.
Yeah. I am aware that there’s a lag, but the one I looked at this afternoon was supposedly updated OTA overnight and the as-built on Motorcraft still shows -BA as of 8pm CDT. That’s a pretty long lag. Hopefully it’s just an unusually long lag and will eventually update.OK so quick note. You need to wait awhile after the truck updates to get the correct software version. After mine updated the TRM OTA… I went and downloaded the latest data, it showed -BA under the F188. After I waited about 6 hours I check again and now its showing -BB. So I would give it time to upload to the mothership.
right after the OTM TRM update…
About 6 hours after the TRM OTA update…
Atleast you get OTA! I still have yet to receive one.
I thought you were super up to date?
I am but never have received any OTA. Have had to do all mine in FDRS. Think the build 2 trucks are in OTA purgatory.
How did I give Ford the benefit of the doubt?
Yep. It takes patience, but eventually that USB update will brake the APIM out of update purgatory. @Jesse-Infotainment has provided that USB stick for several folks who's dealerships failed, as well as locked customers APIM. And if I'm not mistaken, the USB has rescued every single one of them.
So it finally kicked off!? Yeah if it completed and you got the update successful message you’re good to continue on with the rest of the updates .
In your post. Where you say in all fairness, etc
Another eccentricity with the TRM update is that the truck will not update its as-built data on the server until it’s restarted. Another member received the TRM update OTA and despite multiple reloads of the module data, the TRM software still showed the old version. It finally updated once he restarted the truck.
Yes, that IS the post that I quoted from.
I'm not trying to argue with you. But you keep skipping over your first paragraph. That is where I disagree...They are obligated to fix it or make an effort. They need to tangle with Ford. Not turn away customers... That's what been happening in the previous posts of some folks. They should take it in, no matter what the complaint.Yes, that IS the post that I quoted from.
"Quote: "OTA is the intended delivery mechanism. It's Ford's fault that any of us have to use FDRS in our driveway or at the dealership."
I know you are miffed with Ford. It's well documented. I get that. You and many others were incredibly frustrated with the failed attempts by the dealerships and the OTA failures of Ford.
Still, I stand by my sympathies with the dilemma the dealerships face as a result of the OTA snafus.
The good news is that for myself, and a few others, this forum made it possible for us circumvent the fiasco and I kinda cheer everytime one more fella finds this thread and overcomes.
