First OTA update coming soon for Mach-E

[mr_raider]

I have Android 11 on my Pixel 4, and I can't get AA to work. No big deal, but...?

Didn't Google release an AA update to deal with Ford issues?

Not an official version, but yes they did.

I'm running Android 11 on my Samsung Galaxy S21 and wireless Android Auto worked for the first time for me today. Not sure what changed but no major phone update, perhaps background AA update to the app? No major SYNC update that I'm aware of. I thought Ford needed to push a SYNC update to fix wireless Android Auto. Weird that it works now. Running SYNC 4 version: 20312_PRODUCT Revision 243

Something I would like to see in a future OTA update is the ability to toggle 1-pedal mode by holding the cancel/resume button when the cruise control is off.

AA updated overnight. Much better today than the sideloaded version I installed a few days ago.

Yeah I see it now. Looks like fixes specific to the Samsung Galaxy were also part of the update. https://support.google.com/androidauto/thread/94913396?hl=en&msgid=94913396

I have a Galaxy S10e running Android 11. It also supports wireless Android Auto (first saw it connected without plugging in today).

Maybe a proper clue about the OTA.... From the first impressions thread.

Android Auto
Apparently there is an issue with Android Auto that hopefully will be fixed in the next OTA update.

For OTA updates, I assume the car needs to connect to my WIFI. Where in MME menu do i provide the password?

I am not sure it has to be connected to a WIFI. This was from last year announcement:

My house WIFI does not reach the driveway where I keep my ME. I hope I do not have to add a WIFI extender.

It does not need to be connected. The car is always connected to ford through its cellular connection.

I think the idea behind connecting to wifi is that it can download the update faster, or more reliably in the case of an area with spotty cell coverage.

It's on the car itself.. forgot which menu (I know it's not really helpful - I think it's under connectivity). I know I set mine up the week I got the MME. Worked well.
