Fullscreen Apple CarPlay OTA Update Coming Soon! - Per Ford (Mike Levine)

[mcinfantry]

Agreed
Part of me wants to help other people update theirs but then again they spend a ton of money on doo dads and then want me to help them for free

‘get off my lawn’ I guess

MY23 Badlands Lux. This is how it came from FoMoCo.

You don't have the NAV section. I wish the same for me...

Understood, but THEY should take a moment to set the correct expectations rather than everyone take a wild guess as to why they have not yet received this update. I had my Bronco in the Ford Dealer this past week for the driveshaft recall and specifically asked the dealer to address this update. They too are uninformed and guessing at what it takes, how long it takes, or what is needed to get it. They also guessed that some date range vehicles might not be eligible for it. I then asked if they specifically knew that as fact, and the answer was, "well, no, but it has happened in the past".
So again, Ford needs to communicate to us, and to their dealers. It's just a constant frustration with information or the lack thereof from Ford.

Ford tried those lies with, telling me that I was running the latest version of the software for my Bronco (1.9.0).

It's a bunch of BS that they spew. Even the tech support line told me that crap. Dealer said that they would have to charge me the ford protection extended warranty deductible to look at it (even though it never worked), much less upgrade it.

I am not going to throw a fit about having to do it myself, but I do take offense to being lied to repeatedly.

Agree 100%
Lots of factors involved, but Ford could do better on this area, as tech and adoption of new technologies is a very important experience to us as owners!

It’s working so far. Knock on wood.

So... how did it go? Did you make it all the way through the 5GB APIM update for full screen carplay?

My first edition is on 22087 rev 415 power up 3.5.2
Bringing it in to my dealer next week, they think they can update it for me.

I deleted NAV in the hopes to get my build quicker. I use CarPlay and WAZE so no need for FoMoCo NAV.

Interesting mix of quick access options in these screenshots. Some have Ambient Lighting + Climate, and then you've got neither and are missing Navigation. Did Ford follow through on the rumor that Nav was being removed from 2023 models?

I deleted NAV when I re-ordered in Sept.

Huh, cool. That wasn't an option in 2022.

Well it did a bunch of updates then showed everything was current. I restarted the software this morning and it showed the APIM update available that is running now with an estimated time of 300 and something minutes. I will let you guys know what happens when that finishes. Maybe this is the final step.

I wonder as it's software, is it possible to remove it for 22? I don't use it and would be cool to remove this section.

Do you have a 32GB or larger usb stick available? You're going to need it to apply that once it's downloaded. Good luck!

Yep got a 128gig one. So I will need to move what ever it’s downloading over to a thumb drive at some point? Hopefully it says to do such a thing in the steps here.
