Just tried Edge, didn't work

it’s under settings in the head unit. it will tell you what you currently have. Fordpass app will tell you as well.

It is well hidden in the latest version of the FordPass App...

1. On the main screen, click on the Vehicle Image
2. Open "Features & Settings"
3. Click on "Software Updates"
4. Click on "Recent Changes" (You should see the date of the latest download)

And you *should* get the "What's in this Update?" screen

Just got 3.5.4 as well. Good job ford in pushing out the updates

Jan 11 - 3.5.2
Jan 28 - 3.5.3.2
Jan 31 - 3.5.4

I love the new update, but when I start my truck . The screen goes to the CarPlay automatically, before it’s was the nav screen. Is there a fix?

 

[Merccat]

I have the update apparently (so says my fordpass app)… unfortunately my truck has been in the body shop for the last week and will be for the next 3 weeks - minor repairs but found a needed part after disassembly that is on backorder.

Anyway, I am curious if anyone has played with the dual phone feature? Is it simply a Bluetooth pairing? If one phone is on CP/AA, does the other phone still work over BT?

Can you quickly switch which phone is running CP/AA? This feature I would love as I have to into the menus and disable one phone for the other to connect and again to switch back.

Omg it finally showed up as pending.

Yes, to almost everything you asked, although for me both phones are Android.
Once two phones are connected, the menu in Sync for "Phone List" IS a nice interface for both phones and your ability to quickly determine which is the source for which functions.

Example, both phones will have an Android Auto icon but only one of the icons can be selected. And yes, you can switch to the other with a touch to the screen.

What it allows me to do is have one phone as the source for streaming music and displaying my Pids/gauges, while the other is managing Android Auto for navigation and making/receiving Bluetooth calls. The phone doing the streaming source is also connected to the trucks wifi as it's data gateway since it doesn't even have a SIM in it!

But that's just one possible scenario.
There's a bunch of different ways to skin almost every cat.

For right out of the box I think it's done pretty well. And the way Sync presents the ability to switch between the possibilities is low effort.

On my truck it even adds a shortcut for the "phone list" section up on the title bar. So no need to drill down while driving.

Lol, same here about 2 hours ago!

Checked my sync version today, thought my "hands free available through" date was funny:

 

[mrtull]

I do not know if this matters. I went on a business trip last week and left my truck connected to wifi. Came back Friday to 3.5.3. On Monday I parked close to the work building to reach wifi and this morning had 3.5.4. I don't know if it helped, but my truck was built in September and I bought it in December. Started at 3.5.2 (I think) ATT Cellular is not great in my rural town.

 

[Blackout150]

Anyone have a answer for this? When I go into settings in the truck and check software updates it doesn’t give any updates. Just says you software is up to date. No versions or anything. Tried to check on FordPass under recent updates and it’s not even there. Am I missing something?
