I've had 4 successful OTA updates; each time they've occurred via the TCU.
Whenever the APIM resets I've noticed Wifi will turn itself back on and auto-connect to the home network. I'm fine with that, but it's a bit odd that every OTA update I've received happened after I specifically disabled the vehicle's wifi connection (for better or worse, Ford forces OTA updates over the TCU if the vehicle is not connected to wifi).
It may be a coincidence, but considering how inconsistent OTA updates are for so many owners I suspect firewall settings might be an issue for some of us. Does anyone know which TCP / UDP ports to open & forward to our vehicle or have suggestions on how to identify which ports our vehicles use?
How bad of an idea is it to place our vehicle in a virtual DMZ? Part of my brain says the truck is just another category of IoT devices and not to worry, but on the other hand it seems like too much of a compromise.
I would like to see an update work over wifi at least once.
