YouTube Streaming Finally Appears in Software 3.5.3.3 !

[DadwithaMach]

It just has the YouTube app, not YTTV.

I'm not sure what is in the sub menus on YouTube App but on the Tesla you can locate the option for YTTV, it's not a standalone app on theirs... Just curious if that was a sub option in the App

This GWM update has appeared in FDRS today on a few vehicles I've checked, including my own. I just applied it with FDRS. It also appears my car got targeted for the OTA for it today as well but I did it USB before I got it OTA.

This new sync version has much better update progress windows in the car.

Just got the update today. Running off my home wifi from the driveway it's nice and smooth. Youtube app is great. NBC news isn't that bad. The today show app is really useless. I booted it up and the first thing it shows me is an interview with Lindsey Lohan from years ago with Katie Couric. All three apps did stream well though. I'll try streaming off my phone's hotspot tomorrow. Love that they are doing this. Many times I have to wait for my kids in the car and this will be nice to have. Now if they could just get Netflix and/or Disney+ I would be over the moon.

Glad to hear this update is improving your experience with the Mach-E. Hope your family continues to enjoy it as well!

@Ford Motor Company while you're here.....

Will there be other offerings besides the YouTube, NBC News, and the Today Show thing?

Is there a way to add more options from our connected services section on the owner's account site?

YouTube is slightly sluggish. Not sure I will open up the other two media apps included (NBC News and NBC Today) after my initial testing today. Slow to start up (>10 seconds to progress from the Initializing indicator).

I’m very happy to receive multiple OTAs in quick succession over the past several weeks. That’s a promising sign that Ford is better positioned to meet our expectations for software updates. I’m cautiously optimistic.

Hope to see more useful apps (Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ etc) or better yet, a way to connect and cast these apps directly from my phone to the screen.

I was about to fire up FDRS, but the OTA beat me to it. YouTube seems to work quite well over WiFi.

Are those prompts about Turn Vehicle Off and Wait FDRS only?

Did you have a TCU update as well? I had one that I applied over the weekend with FDRS/USB.

OTAs....I've heard of those....just rumors of course...nothing you can really put much faith in....

No, the TCU update appears to be for 2022 models only from what I've seen

Video Here

Youtube Streaming now available. Tested with my phone hotspot. It worked. You can also hit the full screen button to get a somewhat bigger image. It loaded the video pretty quickly, but was sluggish going to full screen. You can change the resolution, adjust sound, seek to different spots in the video, etc. I tried to click around to get to Google Search and other web pages, but it wouldn't load anything except Youtube/Google Help and privacy policy info.
