New Power Up OTA 2.4.1 Now Available

[chrisGT]

My App looks different than yours. I have the Horns and Lights options since first day on February 2021. Also have windows options. My Mach-e is a 2021 Premium Rwd Extended Range. December 2020 Built.

Windows buttons show up if you have PAAK enable, which I intentionally don't have.

Someone theorized that the update lets the horn and lights work when you are out of bluetooth range. I've always had the button as well on my Job 1 vehicle, but someone thought maybe if you were out of bluetooth range it would work over the FordPass connection via cellular now, which perhaps it didn't before? That seems like a reasonable explanation, though not well described in the release notes, if true.

They have been working well, my car was one of the ones stuck on 1.6.0 and I had the dealer update manually to 1.7.1. Everything since then has been smooth

Does this work now? I took mine to the dealership two months ago and they could not update it. I JUST called Ford today and the person I talked to had no idea about what I was talking about with being stuck on trying to get 1.7.1. This has all been so infuriating. Just give me an answer is all, do not like being in the dark.

Some of us without 2.4.1 on our Job 1 vehicles but with the horn and lights button have tried pressing it out of Bluetooth range. The horns and lights work quite well. So not sure what that write up means. Perhaps they meant to say something like “fixed a bug preventing horns and lights button from appearing …”

Job 1 in early access and this is the only OTA I have not received. Dont even have the frunk button in the app or in the car and I have had the dealer updates and all other OTAs as well.

This is normal. Most of us, even if up to date, don't have a frunk button in either place. Why there are a few that do is beyond me. But for them it doesn't work anyway.

My personal opinion is that the release notes are BS... I think the update is just something to help pave the way for future BC updates, but they wanted to put in something to make it feel like you're getting a new feature.

For this update in particular, I have suspected the same thing. There is a possibility that there was a version that some cars got from the factory that didn't allow this to work, and the update makes it work across the board, but that's just a guess.

I've been trying to get more info on this update, but no luck so far.

I am going to start calling this the Trojan Horse OTA. Looks simple and harmless on the outside…but who knows what waits inside.

Also, it has horse in it, so it works on that level too. ?

Yeah mine was late getting it until I got an OTA a couple months ago, wondering if it’s a different module manufacturer.

I also had this since I got mine (received it January 2022) and also have frunk button on the app

 

[2021-MMEx-RT1]

Get ready! I received 2.1 on 3 separate occasions over a few weeks.

job 1 June build.

I do wonder how those responsible for OTA stay employed.

They OTA their pink slips and never get them..?

 

[Caneman88]

got this last week on my F150 I'm on your site looking for answers for all the Software updates.
Hope they get all this worked out before the F150 Lighting pushes out

Frunk trim? What frunk trim are you having the dealer install?

ALL of the plastic in the front of my MME. It's a big gigantic hole. Nothing there. They just left it out. I'll take a pic and post so in case you wondered what it looks like without the Frunk...

You mean you have a mis-build? And the dealer didn’t catch this on pre-delivery inspection?

On the plus side, you have easy access to the 12V battery.
