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

I'm gonna try the trickle charger too. Mine never get updated.
I left the WiFi connection ON in the car, but every once a while it changes back to OFF.
I wonder if it thinks the battery is low and went into power saving mode, thus no update.

Still nothing here either.

Same here. I finally got the 3.5.2 at the end of October. I think this has to be voltage related. As I have made a lot of long drives, except for back in October right about when I got that update pushed. Been trying all the tricks since but nothing. Trickle charge might be the ticket.

Fdrs updated mine just fine
I like the full screen and pairing to multiple phones at once (I have work and personal)

Do I need to have my ebrake on for it to check for updates? My driveway is flat, I never use it…

Mine sorta pairs to multiple phones at once... I might not be doing it right. Trying to select multiple audio inputs seems to confuse it if Android Auto is on one device only.

We really don't know for sure. When I called into Sync support, what they told me is that my computer reported both a successful and failed installation of Powerup 3.5.2. They dug further and showed that the next pending update was pulled and that down the road a more cumulative one will apply. If you prod through my interface though you can clearly see I'm still on some earlier 2.x version.

Some folks have inferred that updates are released to your VIN within date windows, and if you miss the window and don't have great wifi or cellular service during that time you basically get abandoned.

I am probably going to suck it up and learn to update with FDRS. Right now I'm planning to wire up a trickle charger and see what happens. I can totally see how some of the updates will hold on installation if there is even a chance of the battery dropping mid-update. Otherwise you might have a whole fleet of bricked vehicles in the field.

I’m in the same boat as far as the update version and failed attempt. Talked to the OTA team at Ford and they suggested I take it to the dealer for them to address it. They don’t think it will attempt any more OTA updates.

Out of curiosity, did you make any Forscan changes? Looking through the F150 forums, some that made Forscan changes had luck by reverting back to their original config. They were then able to get the update to take correctly. I’m wondering if the failed install was related to those changes, or if stock Broncos are having this issue as well.

Mine is completely stock. I’ve gotten one update but not the full screen yet
