I bought a 23 in December and my last update was Jan 7th for 6.3.0. Does anyone have an estimate on how many weeks it will take for my updates to get current? Its parked in wifi garage every day with auto updates set to every day at 1am.

But seriously it's un-knowable. You'll get updates when Ford decides to push them to you.

"Why is the car in the middle always now?"
"I don't know let me call design"
"Design responded 3 weeks ago, they didn't ask for it, let me check with the devs"
"I'm still working on finding the manager of the dev group that handles UI now"
"That manager left, Billy was filling in while they try to find another manager"
"Billy quit showing up to work"
"We hired a new manager, they're getting up to speed"
"Oh yeah the car in the middle thing, let me ask him"
"No I havn't heard back from the new manager, let me check again"
"He's still waiting on a laptop and his permissions to get ok'd"
"Oh yeah maybe he could just ask around"
"He's got no idea who runs the UI team"
"Oddly I guess he never knew he runs the UI team"
"He's reaching out to the team"
"UI didn't do it"
"Yeah lets see if someone can look at SVN"
"Oh here it is, Ravi committed 'I have no idea why 400 pixel clear gif is here'"
"Lets get Ravi to put back the clear thing"
"Ravi quit right after that commit"
"Ok so where's the gif?"
"Oh that was on Ravi's laptop we just imaged to give the new manager"
"Ok I'll get a story on the back log to make another 200 pixel clear jpg"
"They should be able to get to this in Q4"
"Yep they got the clear bmp thing all figured out, pushing QA next week"
"Oh they did it wrong, going to make another, this time a gif"
"Yep, next week testing for sure"
"Oh QA is out for some kind of holiday. I don't know what it is, just something about 2 weeks."
"Yep QA will look at it this week"
"They said the car is now on the left. Close enough yeah?"
"Why is the car on the left? Isn't that what you wanted? What you mean it was always on the right? The new cars always had it in the middle. Should it' be in the middle?"
"Yeah I'll call design again"
"Design said that's a function of the driver assistance. Who runs that team? Billy now, I see."

Any progress??

Let me call the design guys.

I will also stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you to boycott 6.8.0

I have a '21 GT without the blue cruise hardware so I couldn't care less about blue cruise 1.3.

The 6.8.0 update is a huge step backwards and I don't want anything to do with 6.8.0 molesting that screen.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the unbridle graphics and I don't want to lose that.

Couldn't agree more. Get back the previous graphics or give the user the choice in customizing the display.

How long will ford nag me (declining this update) until the prompt to update to 6.8.0 goes away?

Until you give in and accept your fate.

It was unintentional and could be fixed in a future update.

What's an update? Haven't seen one in almost 3 months.

Ha, these things take 6+ months you know...

Example, the new icons were first spotted in press photos in August '23, but are only deploying to vehicles now 9 months later.

This is still a problem for me and I've received further updates. Is there any communication from Ford on when or if this will get fixed?

I haven't heard Ford say that that they will fix it. I suspect that they are satisfied with the current user interface and see no need to fix it.
