Software Update 6.14 Rolling Out to Mustang Mach-E

[generaltso]

How do I know if my MY21 has received the required BCM update?

Hit the emergency escape button inside the frunk and listen. Alternatively, you can enter your unlock code on the door pillar immediately followed by the 7-8 button.

PLEASE PIN TRUNK ACCESS TO THE TOP RIBBON OF HOME SCREEN, @Ford Motor Company.

@Jimrpa You’ve been officially been succeeded.?
[/QUOTE]
@Mirak asked for Trunk access. I want the infinitely more useful Frunk access button on the top ribbon ?

Ford, thanks for the update directly to this Forum. I think its very helpful to have your active participation. Nice updates however these appear to be extreme out fringe fixes/enhancements. The kind that don't take very long to do but adds to a list to make it look like more has been done than really has. It would be nice if Ford would let us see the development list and let the actual Users weigh in on it.

Nope.

Why add a separate app for finding Tesla chargers when it should be in the Ford Nav system which they are charging $80 per year to keep active?

Yes it works.... Thank you my friend, I didn't know about that feature until you mentioned it here.

Still not showing this APIM update in FDRS, is there any specific date it will be available to everyone?

 

[kltye]

I don't understand why actual fixes aren't in the change log - like the fact that the Android Bluetooth static issue has been fixed (finally!). Ford has some really bizarre software development/communication practices.

 

[Aubury]

But when are we going to get the update that lets google maps read the battery SoC for trip planning? That's the one I'm waiting for.

Hi owners! We’re happy to announce that Software Update 6.14 is rolling out to Mustang Mach-Es. What you share with us in these owner forums and through In-Vehicle Voice Feedback are direct inputs to some of these changes, and we appreciate your continued passion for building an electric future alongside us. The update brings the following:

• Replaced the Display Brightness Slider with +/- buttons to make it easier to use on your drive.
• Combined the USB and Bluetooth media sources into a single app for easy access.
• Moved the Sketch app into the “Entertainment” page so it’s easier to find.
• Updated the icons on the top bar to make them easier to see.
• Added a phone battery icon on the phone app screens.
• The Public Charging application, previously known as Charge Assist, can be located in your application drawer, where other apps live.
• You can now start and pay for charging on the BlueOval™ Charge Network without requiring a smartphone. Filter by charge speed and network while staying informed about real-time information about new chargers, such as availability and those under repair.
• A new map view has been added, allowing you to visibly search for nearby chargers and quickly see what’s available.
• Frunk Release – For MY21 and MY21.5 that have had the BCM update (which opens the frunk electronically), this update adds the button to their SYNC screen.

Software updates are designed to help make your vehicle better over time. We want to make sure you are getting the latest and greatest new features and improvements like this delivered to your vehicle.
As a friendly reminder make sure you:

1. Have Automatic Software Updates turned ON – this keeps updates coming as they roll out.
2. Set a Recurring Schedule – software updates may happen seamlessly in the background while you are driving, while others may require you to park and exit your vehicle so set the schedule for a time when you know you won’t need to drive the vehicle, like overnight.

 
Below is a quick step-by-step and here is a video of how to do this and some things to know about software updates on your vehicle.
 
How-To Guide:
Turn ON Automatic Software Updates

• Go to “Settings” on your vehicle’s SYNC screen
• Choose “Software Updates”
• Toggle “Automatic Updates” to ON

Set a Recurring Schedule

• Go to “Settings” on your vehicle’s SYNC screen
• Choose “Software Updates”
• Press “Schedule Updates” or “Recurring Update Schedule”

 
Things to Know:

• Don’t skip your Automatic Software Updates – this impacts all future updates.
• If an update requires you to be parked, you will receive a reminder in your vehicle (24 hours prior) and in your FordPass App. You can reschedule up to 2 mins before the update begins.
• Software updates are not deployed to all vehicles at the same time and are done on a rolling basis – for example, your neighbor might get an update before you do.
• While not required, we recommend connecting to WiFi for an improved update experience. If Wi-Fi is not available, your update will be delivered using the built-in cellular connection with your vehicle modem.

 
So, turn ON your Automatic Software Updates, set your schedule and let the updates roll in!

Fun story..... I am on 6.14 but do not have the Charge Assist or Public Charging icon at all!

My MME is a 2021 early edition. Produced in early Jan and delivered in Feb of 2021. I received the update for the remote frunk operation. It does not work. Although there is a button on my FordPass screen, the function is not active. Is there a setting in the Sync display also to activate it??

But when are we going to get the update that lets google maps read the battery SoC for trip planning? That's the one I'm waiting for.

I am on the same boat, also. My last trip to Louisiana, 1200 miles, I used Android Auto and Google maps because that was the option the vehicle defaulted to. Google knows all the available chargers along my route but could not determine the SOC or to precondition the battery for the eventual charging. It could do other things, like start a charge and stop one, but not to precondition the battery or show the SOC of the battery.

Sounds like you may be missing a BCM update. When you press the emergency release button inside the frunk, does it make a noise?

I, for one, cannot wait to get this update. I'm so tired of having to hunt all over in Sync for the sketch app ?

 

[ShaggySS]

Since everyone else is providing feedback, I think the navigation map should have different color icons for charging. One color for L2 charging and one for DCFC

Overall, I like the changes to the icons on the top, and combining Bluetooth and USB makes sense. Thanks for continuing to take feedback and provide updates.
