Not sure why you would not be getting any OTA updates. My King Ranch was purchased on 12/30/20, so very early build and I have gotten all of the updates.
Stop bragging
It could be worse . . . I received a notice last week that my Powerboost received an update - to 1.6.0. Then two days later I received an notice that I received another update - to 1.4.0.
Yeah, whoever designed the rollouts dropped the ball...
1.7.1 requiring a 2.7GB download? That seems really large for what 1.7.1 does—updated the APIM. Something else must be trying to download as well. When I got 1.7.1 it installed very quickly—far faster than I would expect a download of that size to install.Stop bragging
Mine is a march build and I've received the first couple of updates, but mine is stuck in limbo downloading the 1.7.1 update
It started downloading on the 18th and stopped after it downloaded 2.7Gb and now my software version and revision are blanked out in the sync software.
I now have to start my truck once a day or it will keep draining my battery.
I even tried manually installing the APIM update using FRDS and USB stick and it won't install. I really hope I don't need my APIM module replaced.
I know 2.1.0 updated the GMW. If 1.6.0 also updated the same module that would surprise me. But I suppose it’s possible.
It's actually not nearly as large as it should be. The APIM module is what contains the SYNC OS and maps...
Something still doesn’t sound right. The 1.7.1 I received was nowhere near these sizes. It installed quickly and my Sync version did not change. The download I got had all the earmarks of a small firmware update. No evidence that it touched my OS. I would also expect an OS update of 3 GB or larger to require WiFi to download and 30-45 minutes to install.
I'm not sure what to say... I'm extremely confident. I've spent a lot of time looking into this. I even follow the mach-e forums which that vehicle uses the same exact infrastructure as our trucks (minus the electric components)
I am in a similar situation as you. This update failed a few times OTA so went to dealer, where it failed using USB stick. So, dealer ordered new APIM, which is schedule to be installed Wednesday, since the software at the dealer showed the install failing at the APIM each time.
I’m not doubting you. But I think the APIM is pretty complex and it might not be monolithic. I thought it was structured like a home computer with something akin to a BIOS and a separate flash memory to hold the OS and map data. You can update one without necessarily having to update the other.
You're missing the point. You bought a truck that didn't have those features, and they weren't promised. In years past, you didn't get anything that wasn't on the car when you drove it off the lot. It is a bonus to get updates that add features. I am in the same boat, you aren't missing much on the nav or camera. It will get updated in due time. If you really have an issue take it in to the dealer. The hard part is the disparity in the millions of possible configurations that are out there.
