Power-Up 4.2.1. OTA software update installed today

[rugedraw]

Different files for 23. Ill install them tomorrow take a look

23MY has different hardware?

4.2.1 was released to the Lighting and Mach E last month according to the wiki, but the wording on their update reads:

GWM[12]
Mustang Mach-E	4.2.1	February 2023	Not available	This particular update will set you up for all future ones to come. Think of it as the update that opens the door for all the others to enter through.

Funny how they worded it differently for the F150.

@Administrator May I recommend moving this to the OTA section and maybe adding OTA 4.2.1 to the title?

Of course you do. I'm not even surprised. 🫡

 

[Jesse-Infotainment]

Of course you do. I'm not even surprised. 🫡

I dont have it in my truck.. I do have one though.. I use it for testing purposes ..

 

[rugedraw]

Yet. You don't have one in your truck yet. Something tells me you will soon. Lol

Edit: Well, I guess it doesn't really matter if they have files being pushed out for both.

@TheGoatman I assume you are in the early access program, too? If so, then we know us peasants will most likely be kept in the dark for a bit with this.

If you are a peasant what are those like me called who haven't recieved an update in two years of ownership?

 

[Big Dog Daddy]

@rugedraw Are you going to update the wiki page for us? The dam MachE guys always seem to get there first, and make us poor F-150 owners take the back seat.

Like you, I to got screwed by Ford with one of there early 21 "covid" trucks, and it's a dam shame because other than the software it's a great truck! You're dealer will never be able to make it right for you no matter how much yelling and bitching you do, they wont fix it. I got over it, and moved forward, I took things into my own hands and with the help of all the great people on this forum, like @rugedraw . I updated my truck myself last spring. Since then I've received every OTA update Ford has sent. If you're up to a challenge, and have $800.00 and a laptop you're truck could be the best truck you ever owned in about 10 hours.

I intend to, yes. I plan to update it with all the 22-PU10xx updates, too. Power Up and Priority updates have gotten all mixed into the wiki. It needs a lot of work to get it right.

Can I break it more than it already is by trying to fixing it myself?

Not really, If you carefully follow the first and second post of the FDRS thread. Read and follow exactly. You really shouldn't have any trouble. I didn't! If you do encounter a problem the people here will help you and I mean almost immediately you'll get fast answers. The software is made for the dealer monkeys to do, and if you're computer savvy you'll have no problem. Plan to devote 8 to 10 hours uninterrupted. Read and follow screens carefully. When your done you'll have a new pride in your truck you never thought you'd have. Plus you'll have a new gained knowledge beyond what you're dealer knows. Good luck! best wishes. and if you need help please ask

Again, I'll caution everyone that issues CAN and HAVE happened, with Ford releasing updates that completely render trucks undriveable, damage components to the point that they need replacement, and more. There is VERY REAL RISK of installing these updates.
