New OTA 3.5.3.2 Software being pushed out (This is 3.5.3 but for 2022 model year trucks)

[sitholepaul]

No OTAs in the past 60 days and none in queue. The dealer did not update any modules. All I see is some issue with your SCCM. It seems the replaced it from what I can tell.

Thank you for checking

Thank you. They sure did, and needed Engineering to reprogram the software since the modules were not talking with the truck.

What about this version. I thought this was the version this thread was talking about. Check this out.

This says 3.5.4 is the OTA power up version.

huh. Any chance you’re a member of the early access program? Also, those brightly colored status icons are something I haven’t seen before.

Those colored icons at the top are able to be added in the engineering test menu. You hold a couple buttons to get there. Look it up in this forum, it’s here somewhere.

Yes, I’m in EAP, but everyone else had everything else first. Updates leading up to BC and then nothing for a while. I got only 2 EAP surveys along the way.

Maybe this is my first EAP thing. Because nothing else that has happened since January 2021 has been early. I’ve been enrolled since March 2021 or something.

This truck already has 58k on the clock and is ready to get traded off. Lol.

I quit caring about these updates months ago. Ford wasted enough of my time on these updates, so this was a pleasant surprise on January 11, 2023, two years after purchase.

3.5.4 is the one that activates Alexa for job 1 2021 owners. While rare, I have seen people get it. Some got it months ago when Ford pushed out 3.5.3 initially. The update in this thread, while lower in numerical sequence, was released after the initial release of 3.5.4.

You just had 2.7.4 install two days ago on your truck. You are a bit behind on power up updates, but you're getting updates which is good for us early 2021 owners. No other OTA's on your queue now. If you don't already have one, get yourself a 10amp+ battery charger. You will need it when 2.8.1 gets sent to you.

It’s curious to me that Ford hasn’t figured out this battery charge issue with the OTA updates. Like, I get that they‘ve probably calculated only charging to 80% SoC extends battery longevity (or whatever logic they’ve applied), but you’d think they’d have set it so the vehicle changes to a higher SoC temporarily when an update has been downloaded, to help boost the chances it completes, and then returns to the default SoC after completion. It’s all networked, there’s no technical reason I’m aware of that would prevent it. I mean, sure, it won’t solve all issues and some people might still have to plug in a charger, but I have to imagine it would solve these marginal battery update fails.

Granted, it’s also kind of shocking how much power many of these modules use when updating. I suppose power efficiency wasn’t a major concern when designing them since the vehicle has a constant high amperage 12V power source when running, but jeez…

Ohh so 3.5.3.2 will only give full screen car play and 3.5.4 will activate Alexa now? Can you check mine I got 3.5.2 in December. 1FTFW1E54MFA31046

It isn't just Ford with OTAs and battery drain issues. It is affecting several manufacturers.

Nothing since you got 3.5.2 back then and nothing in your queue right now.

I have a Job 1 with Alexa and no full screen and I assumed after I did updates via FDRS a week ago I was at 3.2.5. Here's my VIN 1FTFW1E50MFA97982 can you please see what it says? Thx!

Anything you did with FDRS would supersede anything I can see on PTS.

My reverse camera is upside down as of picking the children up from school. I took photos. Not sure what the heck. Maybe mine is mid update again.
