@Mike G or anyone with an active FDRS If you can please run this VIN for me to check 3FMTK3SU3MMA23683

I only serviced my car for the windshield and moonroof recall. I've mentioned to do an update at the time afterwards and said they did. That was early this summer. The last update shows on the dashboard is 22-PU0727-VI-FXA which was done over OTA about last September but I still have 22S41 recall. I haven't had any OTA since. I guess OTA updates can come out of order since I got September update but never got the OTA to fix the 22S41 recall.

...or the BlueCruise OTAs either.

First here's what ETIS says you're eligible to have done:

And here's the list of available updates:

I wouldn't wait around for OTAs...some car just don't get them because of issues with data corruption from previous downloads, etc.

I'll check your VIN tomorrow to see if anything's shown up.

This is why I always hit the "Rerun Network Test" button one more time just before logging off...

We didn't talk about what version of Sync you're on now...tell me if it's 539. If it is 539 now it will be interesting to see what this update takes you to. I think it may be something like 610, but I'm spitballing.

It was a hefty boi (about 6Gb) but finally done and on the new UI. Rev 640.

First impressions so far as an UI developer is that they've made a lot of super minor improvements that add up to a huge increase in usability. Overall it's a lot faster, loads up almost instantly (1-2s compared to 10+ before). CarPlay connects faster, menus are organized in a more logical way. Can control heated seat/fan speed by either dial or tapping icon multiple times. I'm sure I'll notice more things as I use it and there is still a lot of room for improvement but definitely a sizable step in the right direction.

Well congrats! You are officially the first '21 car to have the new interface that I'm aware of!

Well done sir!

I find it interesting that it skipped the Sync 610 my Lightning got on the way...and went from 539 straight to 640.

What a fantastic resource! Thanks for helping out so many of us.

Could you please check VIN 3FMTK2SU3NMA56937 for me? I'm curious to see if the HVAC improvements have been done before we head out across this frigid plains later this week.

Congrats on the new version of Sync! ???

Wow, so maybe I will pop for a 2 day FDRS license this weekend. A ‘21 with rev 640 Sync this soon. Who’d have thunk? ??

Did you have any other updates available? PCM, etc. Did you have to do a network scan to see it or did it show before you connected it to your car?

Hi all, I love this forum because there are such amazing members.
Could you please check VIN sFMTK1SS2MMA20177 for me? I received the updated notice and BlucCruise should have been activated but it won't work in fact. The color of the lane-keeping indicator is still green and just initiates the normal active auto cruise.

Thank you so much!

So I find it very interesting that your actual F188 revision didn't change from the MU5T-14G676-DT it was before the update. It did on my truck.

And your GWM is now a completely different engineering part number and revision than mine.

Mine is part number MU5T-14G650-ACD and revision LJ8T-14H021-HKD but yours is now
part number MU5T-14G650-ABX with revision LJ8T-14H021-LAD.

But the APIM part number and revision is the same in both our cars right now, but your APIM is running the refresh and mine isn't. So going forward we're going to have to ask folks what Sync revision they're on to determine if they have the refreshed interface or not.

I know that almost all of the APIM packages for the APIM got updated but for some reason they decided to keep the F188 DID the same rev number.

But if you've got Sync 640 in your About Sync screen...that's the golden ticket.
