Donā€™t want to hijack this thread, but since you asked ā€¦
Both automatic and scheduled updates are on and itā€™s connected to wifi every night. Iā€™m in western NY but it shouldnā€™t need to be ā€œhackedā€ to update. Friend of mine in dealer service department thinks off the record that there was an issue with certain models getting computers bricked so they stopped updating them.
@jesse-Infotainment Jesse- any chance to pull VIN and find out what updates may be needed, or if hardware is truly an issue?

TAKE THE ROADS LESS TRAVELED ā€“ AND SHARE YOUR ADVENTURE ā€“ WITH NEW BRONCO TRAIL APP

Bronco Trail app.jpg

MOAB, Utah, May 2, 2023 ā€“ Real adventures seldom happen where streets are paved. Thatā€™s why Ford is making it easy to discover, plan and share off-road journeys with the new BroncoĀ® Trail App.

Ford today debuts the Bronco Trail App for Apple iOS and Google Android mobile devices at Bronco Safari 2023 in Utah, where hundreds of Bronco enthusiasts are gathering to show off their vehicles and tackle some of the challenging trails that can be found in the app.

Available only for BroncoĀ® SUV owners, the app features approximately 1,200 professionally curated off-road trail maps across the U.S., Canada and Mexico to start. It also provides the ability to record drives with waypoints, photos and video ā€“ and lets you share your adventure on social media.

Future updates will continue to add more trails and features to the Bronco Trail App.


After downloading the Bronco Trail App and linking it to their FordPass account, Bronco owners gain access to key features, including:

Curated trail maps: Always stay on the trail with the Bronco Trail App and discover roughly 18,000 miles of existing trails in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Filter by location, length, difficulty, and more. Each trail has a description and can be saved for future adventures.

Points of interest: Keep track of whatā€™s ahead, like tough challenges, scenic points of interest, waypoints, canā€™t-miss photo ops, and more. Once youā€™ve saved a trip, you can add your own waypoints, photos, and notes about your experience.

Satellite imagery and 2D topographic maps: Access and download different map styles to prepare for the journey ahead. Going off-grid? No problem: you can view downloaded maps even if you are offline.

Pressure gauge: Some trails recommend lower or higher tire pressure to traverse ā€“ Bronco Trail App features a real-time tire pressure gauge built in the app to assist with adjusting to desired tire pressure on the trail and recommended pressure for the road. And you can use it even when you donā€™t have a cellular or cloud connection.

Adventure tracking: Bookmark and record favorite trails to visit again or share experiences from your phone with other Bronco owners.

Video capturing: Capture video of your drive by securing your smartphone in the vehicle. Finished recordings can be viewed in the app or through a connection with your vehicleā€™s center console, with overlay data like speed, RPM, distance traveled, elevation, and more. Once youā€™re done recording, the video will be automatically saved to your phone and available to share via text, social media channel or in online forums.


The Bronco Trail App is complimentary to download and use. Itā€™s available now in the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Is there a way for it to guide you to the trail you want to explore? Say, from my house to the trail using the built in maps?

This doesnā€™t work. There are lots of 2021ā€™s not getting updates. Ford doesnā€™t acknowledge thereā€™s an issue. Only say that updates are tied to particular VINs and we are up to date. But we are not. Mine hasnā€™t updated in over a year.
Got tired of waiting and asked my dealer to address this when I dropped it off for an oil change at the start of the year. They were able to install the update that provided full screen display and I think I've had at least one more over the air update since that point that happened on it's own. So hopefully they will install automatically from here on out.

Wasn't expecting to be able to link my phones camera to the screen and record video. That's kinda cool.
As soon as I saw that, I ordered a phone mount haha

Low package BB here and it works on mine. I had thought it was an uptrim thing, but apparently not.
Works on my Mid BB

Download a trail on the App from your phone, then select it in the Bronco, it will give you turn by turn. Caveat: I did this for a test and now I can't get it to stop...

Really? Not even Big Bend, Escondido, or Wolf Caves?

Heh, same.
Opposite for me. I was looking for a phone mount so I could use my OnX Hunt (not off road which is apparently available on Android Auto) while driving. Now I don't have to since I have a decent map on my screen.

Everyone seems very concerned they don't have 'trails' shown in their area. Well, the trails are on the map, probably, they just aren't curated. Meaning fewer people will find them =good.
