Ford Power-Up 6.1.0

[fordtruckman2003]

My experience it works pretty well as it is but I'm not against getting it to run better. The post I saw on another forum they mentioned changes to the font.

I'm curious what this new, clean design for the infotainment is.

I wonder if it's the so-called 'Unleashed' theme that can be enabled with Forscan.

If so, what will that do to those who have made that change already?

And I just got 6.2.0. For me I know when I’m going to get an update while driving because my audio settings are reset. I’m sure 6.3.0 will arrive soon.

I've never seen a software update show up on my app.

do you get this if you have automatic updates turned on?

Why is no one with 6.3 posting a picture of the “new clean infotainment” screen ??

Probably because so far only 2023 trucks are getting it. The change is likely minor so we might not notice it anyway.

Anyone else finding PTS to be useless? The "Connected Vehicle Dashboard" will not load for me.

One small change I noticed on 6.1.0 is that the speedo display in BlueCruise mode will flash text that reads "keep eyes on road" as a silent reminder before beginning the audio alerts. I may be mistaken, but I think this is new and seems to quiet down the truck before the alerts start kicking in. (Or its always been this way, and I have never noticed before)

Works fine for me.

Well, shoot. Wish I knew why it wasn't working on my connection. Thanks for the confirmation!

I have a 23 lariat and wireless app projection stopped working after 6.1.0 update. I can’t turn wireless projection on and can’t connect CarPlay wirelessly. Tried multiple phone, soft reset, full reset but no luck.

I didn't put together that you are one updating the spreadsheet, thanks for your help, its a huge benefit to the community. We should get @tonesto7 input as well, but I am wondering if we move the attachments to a live GoogleDoc, I am thinking we can somewhat automate the updating of the Github site relatively easily so its less of a burden to get that updated and could even give certain other members write access to the spreadsheet so they could contribute as well.

Could use a low-code automation tool to watch the googlesheet for new rows and transform in into the appropritate JSON, and do a pull request in github. then @tonesto7 would just have to review the pull request and make any necessary modifications.

Thoughts on this?

I've wanted the sheets to be cloud-based for some time.

I like the idea of automated pull requests for the OTA portal.

Let me see if I can prototype something this weekend.

if you reboot your head unit twice, you should get an update (if needed). Then it will show up on the app

Uh, no.

Nothing you can do will trigger an OTA update. They are somewhat randomly queued up by Ford by VIN number when they damn well feel like it. It's an ongoing joke around here and you'll get used to it.

Once it is in your queue it will attempt to download only when you start your truck. May AT&T cell service be in your favor.
