Seriously, another update today?!?! Just had one last week, and this update says I need to prep the vehicle and not drive it while updating? I think I'm going to do this one and then turn off connectivity - its not worth it just to be able to lock/unlock and start my bronco from my phone :(

Anyone else sick of getting update notices every other week?

I've had a lot of them recently also. I don't really mind if they are actually worthwhile updates and are fixing bugs, etc.

I still have yet to get any updates. My display says "I am up-to-date" (which is total BS), I am on my home wifi, and I have updates enabled. So what the heck. When I check my phone app it appears that updates aren't enabled though.

Other than full screen car play, am I missing anything cool?

Interesting.... One of the first things I did when I picked up my Bronco was turn off updates. I've been notified twice I think that there was an update but I don't do it.

I think the odds of Ford breaking something out way my need for the latest software... Especially since everything seems to be working perfectly.

Reminds me of the phone apps.... Weekly updates. If I had to update my programs that often, I'd be fired for crappy code :)

My Truck is parked away from my unit in a carport and I've done nothing to set any network or WIFI up, so am I to assume I'm not getting any updates?

You dont need wifi to get updates, it will update over the built in modem.

Mine updated last week. I noticed my screen was black and so was my tach screen when opening the door. Typically you get the Bronco animation when opening door. After pressing the start button my screen was still black and then thankfully turned back on. After looking at settings my Bronco installed an update. I hear sometimes the screen needs “reset”.
