First OTA update for Mach-E coming March 18 tomorrow

[Mirak]

Do you have to be charging ie plugged in to get the upgrade?

The news release said you don’t even have to be parked to get the update. So naturally I made a joke about that.

My update happened either while I was driving today or in the one hour between me getting home and going out to get the module versions.

The OTA update happened for my MME quietly while it was in the garage. Nice.


But what did the update do?

Impatiently awaiting my turn for the update!

But have you ever waited 16 months for a phone and/or specific app? I'm guessing no....

My Atari VCS actually took *significantly* longer to arrive.

How does one know if they got the update?

FordPass app will have this at the top of the vehicle tab.

And you can go to the update section on the car screen like I did in my pic earlier.

Well I was hoping for the rear seat ambient lighting OTA update....

(too soon?)

Is that a thing? Is the rear going to have ambient lights?

 

[Plutoman15]

Has anyone tried fast charging with the new update to see if the errors have been fixed at EA or others?

No. But, if we're lucky, they'll update the graphics on the screen to match the lack of ambient lights in the back.

No, that's my limited attempt at humor, the led lights are not physically there in the back seat area.

I try to keep the sarcasm to a minimum but sometimes I can't help myself. Such a big stir over lights. Ford promised me lights in the backseat. See they are right there in these fake computer renderings. How can I possibly enjoy driving this car with dark backseat door panels? I'm outraged.

See there I go again.

Maybe in a future model year there will be rear ambient lighting?

I checked my Sync Version information and it was still the same as before the update. I'll check the version info again if I get the second update next week.

Makes no sense that an upgrade is not reflected in your sync version/build number. How many combinations of Mach-e's will there be out there all with the same sync version/build number? Would be great to get a few OBD codes and see how much the same version of sync can vary.

Guess we all need to buy OBD readers to know?

My update happened either while I was driving today or in the one hour between me getting home and going out to get the module versions.

Too bad you could not catch it before but now you have a baseline. I assume since sync was not upgraded that modules were? Or they sent something to sync that says it was updated to make sure that text screen was working.

Impatiently awaiting my turn for the update!

It's going to happen I can feel it ? ?.

So has anyone tested to see if their individual issues have gone away? PaaK problems, puddle lights, charging speed, etc?

Got it. Makes sense now.

So my dashboard on the Ford Owner site has updated after this OTA as well. It now has a ton of information about the vehicle. Anyone else notice this?
