It’s less about a check, and more about the enable. Updates are rolled out in waves based on trim popularity. So even if there was a check for updates button, your car may not have had the update enabled yet. So checking would result in nothing. Once an update is enabled for your car the next time you go driving it should check and start to pull it in.

What I do find odd about this OTA is that there was no early access testing before it started rolling out to average users. I would think they would’ve tested it on a few early access cars just to make sure.

Check with Apple or even Google and see how they do it.. Sorry, but this Ford method is a lot of nonsense.

Oh they did, that’s why they hired someone from Apple last year to fix all this.

Well Tesla has the waves release too, so I guess if something goes wrong they won't brick all the cars at once. Still, it's annoying when you need something important.

Apple and Google do releases in tiers and waves.

Wait, wut? Everyone else releases in waves too? You can't just get updates for your phone, car, or computer whenever you fee like it? What is this world coming to?

Yes but at the scale they can support it’s hardly noticeable to the normal user. Phone updates happen less than 12 hours after release for US as they have the infrastructure to support it. You can also ask for the install right away as well which is the point I think some have made.

Question: If you remote start your car, would that qualify enough for it to check? and would it top off the LVB?

Starting the car does enable the LVB to be charged back up. Doing a remote start doesn't turn "everything" back on though from what I've seen. At least that's what I've experienced in my car and F-150s when remote start was used. The run timer may also be a factor when remote starting.

Are you in a good coverage area for AT&T where you car will be parked? That's also key.

They release in waves but there is still the option for the user to update immediately. So your point is moot, no need to defend Ford here.

Is this an inhibit update?

Yes, it said 35 minutes.

Is this one Early Access first?

Not sure, I am in Early Access, but I have no idea if that played any part.

My car was also stuck on 1.7.1 for 9 months and magically unstuck itself in June. I was rolling through the power-ups every day or so but after 2.7.4 installed on 6/22 I've had nothing until this.

Do you need to disable Automatic Updates to enable multi-day schedule? And with Automatic Updates enabled, does it use the schedule at all? My understanding is no

No.
Yes.

That's my understanding.

The schedule is ONLY for updates that require your car to be off and underivable, like this one. Any updates that's can be installed while the car is in use will install automatically when the car is ready.

This is great. I am a bit confused. I have a GT. I didn't drive it yesterday except to put it in reverse to move it away from the gas grill we were going to ignite for dinner. I got that message about reverse braking but didn't think anything of it until now. So the car was connected to WIFI all day and I have the automatic update button always on. I just looked at my Ford App and it doesn't say anything about an update occurring. How do I know if this is what indeed caused the reverse braking warning?
