It was built in 2023, not 1966.Turned my updates off, its an offroader, not a phone
….wonder how many here get that reference, Dr S?Only until someone looks inside the box...
Those are the same people who will bitch when they end up having problems resolved or improved by the updates they didn't do.... amazing how that works.I was today years old when I learned that people get mad about receiving software updates.
I figured not many but it made me chuckle….wonder how many here get that reference, Dr S?
Still, hell do I need updates for. Classics are better, I could fire up my ps2/xbox and just play without it being like "Update needed", and like that era, cars then could be played with without it constantly asking to be updatedIt was built in 2023, not 1966.
Great write up! As a CyberSec professional, I appreciate this. I guess most people need to know this is a these cars are running on an operation system like Android/WIN/ or some "proprietary" OS ( Linux variant lol). So just like your computer and phone, regular updates are normal. Not only from a bug fix but also remediate/ fix and vulnerabilities so that their vehicle's operate properly and has less of a chance to fail/ exploited.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.
PS2 was indeed awesome so no argument there! But we have to agree things have improved since.Still, hell do I need updates for.

Updates are not being sent to your car while it is in pre-delivery state. When you get your vehicle, you will probably have an update that you can apply. Most of the updates are cumulative of all previous updates, so you would only need to apply one update to be fully current. If a vehicle gets very far behind, it might be necessary to apply an interim update before the most-current update can be applied, but that's not likely the case for your vehicle where you are probably just missing some patch-level updates.So....... No info/answers to my query??
Just degraded to infighting and random disagreements between opposite parties?
Come on guys, someone must know something.

Just saw this pop up in my FordPass app today and hadn't seen it mentioned yet elsewhere.
I was just informed by Fordpass support that mine has not updated because the modem is not communicating and that they have sent a fix to the dealers, fix # SSM51458, to tell service that number to get it fixed.
I'm with you about the speedometer and it doesn't bother me one bit. I find the tach pretty lame but mine is an automatic so to me it's pretty unimportant and if I do need it .... Its right there.I finally got updated today to the new full screen Apple Car play - absolute game changer.
The only time I remember there is an analogue speedometer is when someone on the forum is complaining about it. That entire area is blocked by my hand and steering wheel anyways.
Doesn't sound like you are cut out for modern cars. Buy an old car without the need for functionally important upgrades. Maybe stay away from computers and cell phones since the updates increase security and fix bugs/functionality issues ..... get a flip phone if you need to go wireless.Still, hell do I need updates for.
