OTA 1.6.0 Power-Up Installed

[TruWrecks]

It's there right now, my parking brake is broken. It won't release. I asked them to look into the upgrade

Hopefully they will get it all sorted for you. My car hasn't seen any updates since April and probably won't until BlueCruise releases at this rate.

I have seen twice it's said successful update on the fordpass app. They will get it sorted I am out of town this week and they thought the calipers pads and rotors would get replaced. They gave me an explorer ST in infinity blue to drive. It's odd going back to a ICE

And I don't know if my car has power-Up 1.3.0...

Is there a way to force an update? Or is 1.6.0 only targeted to a certain test audience? I’m on 1.4.0 and it says I’m up-to-date?

I'd like to know this too because apparently my car has not received any OTAs (may have to talk to the dealer for that).

The (relatively) rapid release of 1.6.0 after 1.4.0 makes me speculate that there was an issue with something not working as expected on 1.4.0.....

Hopefully it might fix this - we can hope:

That thread has nothing to do with receiving OTA's.

Tried turning off Vehicle Connectivity and back on and still haven’t pulled down a single OTA update. Opened a case with Ford corporate to see if they can figure out why my car has three pending OTAs.

Curiosity question, is the software OTA only or can a dealer install it via their normal flashing process?

There's nothing you can do to make it happen faster. Ford only authorizes a certain number of VINs at a time. If your VIN hasn't been authorized for the update yet, you won't get it. A lot of us haven't gotten 1.4.0 or 1.6.0 yet.

I was asking because my vehicle got a notification to upgrade to 1.4.0 and it failed. My car is already in for service and I did ask the dealer to check into this for me.

Dealers can install them. However, you would have to pay for it, unless you were having a specific issue that an update fixes. Just going in, and asking for your car to be updated, Ford won't reimburse a dealer for the time on that.

This is why you'll see people tell you to print off an SSM to take with you if you have a specific issue. If there is an SSM that has an update as part of the fix, they can do that under warranty.

Stand next to your car and do a speed test (e.g. speedtest.net) on your phone while connected to the same wifi. It should probably be something decent like 10 mbps down and 1 mbps up. Also look at the signal bars, they should be medium or higher. If you have a poor WiFi signal in your garage updates won't work.

Same applies to the cellular network, the car wants to see 3/5 signal bars before it will go through with an update. I think Ford uses AT&T LTE so if you have poor coverage in your garage with the door closed that's another potential issue.

Hmm, I’m getting 74mbps next to the car in the garage. And the system shows it’s connected to the wifi. So not sure why I just have OTAs pending and not downloading.

I shut auto updates off and I thought when I accepted it I would see it downloading and installing. Not the case I got pending so shut it off and walked away. I did happen with 1.4. so if you are pending you are ahead of me on this one.
