First OTA update for Mach-E coming March 18 tomorrow

[Mirak]

Mine has never accepted the profile I setup in FordPass and I’ve never set one up alternatively in the vehicle. No one else has ever driven it either

You need to set up your profile in the car. Pushing it through FordPass is, like most things FordPass, crappy and unreliable.

You have to have a profile in order for some of the settings to stick. I don’t know why. I consider it a bug.

That doesn’t look like the typical email format at Ford. Try [email protected].

There's no "dnedry" in the corporate directory service, and no one with that surname, it seems.

And although not widely used, for the last couple of years, address formats such as [email protected] are available as an alternate address on an opt-in basis. James Dean could be Jim.Dean or James.Dean or Diego.Dean, etc.

Other than Jurassic Park, though, this guy doesn't seem to exist (apologies if you!).

Here you go. Refinements and bug fixes. Have a nice day. Enjoy.

How did you know that you got an update???

I had to buy an auto remote $10 from Home Depot. Once I did that I could program my MME

I saw a green notice in the FordPass app.

How does this work?

Different than before the update? Nothing. Nothing different at all.

But then I didn’t have any vehicle issues either, so....

We’ll see if I get the second round of updates this week if anything seems different. (If the one week gap in between updates is true.)

starting to sound like vaporware...

I too received an OTA update notice today. I have to say I was a little underwhelmed with "squash a few bugs" as to the contents of the update. I did notice a slightly more aggressive regeneration phase when coasting in "Engaged" mode. I had no outstanding issues, so other than that, I'm good.

I haven’t received the update yet. It’s interesting that nobody can see a single change yet.

I did just receive a call from my service department. They are being told to expect a “huge OTA update fixing many bugs by end of second quarter.” No details as to what bugs or a more specific date. So.... take that for it’s worth.

I’ve already brought my car in twice just to document the bugs I’ve experienced. And I’ve explained to the service techs that I’m not expecting them to fix anything - it’s Ford that has to fix the software and authorize replacement of the buzzy driver screen.

Still no update. Was hoping it would finally fix PAAK.

PAAK is more than just a Ford software issue, it's also a Bluetooth thing. While it's highly likely that the Ford end will be improved upon greatly, it will never be "fixed," because Bluetooth.

I agree. BT was probably a bad choice, but is not just BT. You have to have to have the Ford Pass app open and enable location. I noticed that most times when PAAK failed to me I was also receiving the Annoying prompt from Apple about the FordPass using my location and ask for confirmation if I wanted to continue allowing. Maybe that was somehow interfering with the authentication process. I just hoped they used NFC.
