Ford Power-Up Software Update 1.7.1 - Contents

[hoss]

Anyone with 1.7.1 notice any differences, including the TBT in cluster? I'm not seeing it.

Nope, can’t tell a difference at all, except my Settings screen no longer shows the software version number.

So today at 3:22pm version 1.9.0 Power-Up was installed into my Wildtrak mid package. It says with Ford Pass 3.26, whenever the hood, liftgate or door are opened, it will (can) alert you. It says it was an early release for me. Anyone else get this? I'll have to check it tomorrow. SecuriAlert its called.

I've had Securialert for about a month now. Not sure what version I'm on but I'll go check.

edit: still on 1.6

Well, it works. I get alerts anytime doors or hood or tailgate are opened.

It does, you have to dig for it more when you are connected. Then it'll spin and show up.

I had that situation for about a week or so. I talked to some Ford people to see if/how I could trigger a fresh update. Apparently, Ford controls the OTA updates in order to manage cellular costs. 1.7.1 version number finally showed up today, but I cannot see any feature differences.

It looked like this, right?

Yes, exactly! I've been connected to WiFi at home for the last couple weeks also.

As of today, it says this... and the TBT Nav seems to support Apple's Navigation App... not the Google Maps that I use (via Apple Carplay). It gets a bit confusing... the system has a native navigation application with Ford Sync, and you can get different navigation solutions via CarPlay. I once used one to get to a destination and mistakenly used a second one to return. My nav systems were fighting with each other. Took me a while to figure out what I had done.

Apple just updated Car Play too. So I'm trying to figure out how it has changed. Anyone figure it all out yet?

 

[hoss]

OK I just got the 1.9.0 update this morning. Now I am getting the summary screen like this:

However - still no turn-by-turn indicators on the instrument panel display! I've tried both Apple Maps and Google Maps on Carplay, no result.

There is one difference on the Carplay screen from this update. Upper left corner, the time is now contained within an orange oval:

What about all the changes that they haven't shared... I am quite sure that there are a few things that they neglected to share.

It’d be nice if the side tire view could be looked at by simply pressing the camera button instead of having to switch to mud mode

For me, it looked like the system tried but failed. I had heard that the "rollback" inadvertently erases the release notes, inclusive version level. My screen shot in this thread is evidence of this. I asked how to force a fresh push, but this cannot be done by the owner. Apparently Ford Operations team is managing this for a number of reasons, cellular costs among them. So I guess we have to just wait.

I saw on another forum thread that if you disconnect a battery for 10 minutes and reboot the system it updates from 1.61 to1.71 but I’m not sure if this would work in this case too talkin has anyone tried it?
