Can a person be "pro-update" and "anti-update" simultaneously?

Only until someone looks inside the box...

I have mine set to update at midnight as someone else mentioned - I have no problems with updates - I kinda look forward to them in the hopes of new features

I also look forward to them

Hoping that they stumble into one that makes mine work again

Turned my updates off, its an offroader, not a phone

You can have it do the updates overnight where you won't even know. Don't be the one that bitches when it don't work correctly.

Will that unite everyone against me?

I've had updates set on "auto" since new.
Sync worked until the big update.

Maps, calls and music have not worked correctly since.

Absolutely!

How do you update?
do the car needs Wi-Fi available or can you also download the latest version to a usb drive or something and attach it to the car?

Uhhhh, you might not wanna do that.....

I was today years old when I learned that people get mad about receiving software updates.

Well Gen Z, by your degree of not knowing, just imagine what you'll learn tomorrow!

I mean... my lack of updates are preventing me from using navigation unless I reboot the head unit several times. Is that not a legitimate complaint?

Gen Z..... they see the world thru PS5 games, what can you do

I’m with your brother, it seems every time I perform another update my bronco gets slower...

Congrats, you made your car less functional.

Just have updates enabled, that's it. It'll use its built in modem to seamlessly update while parked.

You can also go into the screen and tell it to check for updates.

IT guy here - a lot of the recent updates are following in Android's footsteps. They're breaking the parts of the system down into smaller chunks so that those chunks can easily be updated on their own. This is so that updating one thing won't cause issues with other systems.
They want to be able to update something like the overlay on the backup camera, but if it has issues, not let those issues impact the rest of the vehicle.

Yes, there's been a lot of updates lately, but it's really going to make future updates better and safer to install going forward.

Personally, I'm all for regular updates, security patches, and keeping things running smoothly.

However, I also understand that I'm in the minority, and that most people would rather things just stay how they were when they bought the vehicle. I guess those users could just turn off updates if they don't want them though...

Bingo. The Bronco is a computer and needs to be current. Why do people care if it updates when they aren't using it. Very strange.

Every time I see something like this I laugh about those newspaper clippings of people complaining about “kids today” and they’ll be from 1980, 1960, 1940, 1910, 1875…

Is there a way to tell which software version you're on in the app? I only see a last update date, but nothing about whether thats 3.5, 4.2, etc.

Everyone dies bud... sooner or later, Everyone bites the dust, time doesn't care about your generation.
