I made a video about stuff I found which happened through the update, most of it was already discussed in forum:

Looks cool. Maybe @Ford Motor Company will let my car have it by 2023.

We folks stuck at 1.4.0 will just have to hope it comes to our cars sometime this year….?

Just enough time to get through the first quarter of your book?

I am glad this is not a diet and recipes forum.

Has anyone seen the radio setup on the website or FordPass?

Thanks for the demo.
But why.... Why is the calculator an app WITHIN the "Notes" app? Can't it be its own app?
And tic tac toe... Haha.

I agree, that seems odd.

I never had a need for a calculator in my car yet. All on my phone. So not sure.

How do you know what version you are on ? I need help navigating to find what version I’m on.

Power on -> Settings -> scroll down to System Updates (a tile on the left side of the screen) -> tap on it.

These look like the kind of stuff student programmers write. My guess is they're using a few unimportant things as a test for the OTA distribution system and they wanted stuff that won't affect the actual car if it goes wrong.

Who cares if their tic tac toe game doesn't work?

Once this stuff goes out and everything works they'll move on to the actual product.

The packages probably use the same graphics driver or something so they packaged them together to save download time. One install instead of three.

My question is - can we uninstall this useless crap, or does it just stay with the car like windows bloatware forever?

Props to Ben and MModified for putting out great content. I just got 1.7.1 and appreciated the video. The Calm Screen function by pushing in the volume button is a good fix from having to go through 3 screens to find that function.

I care. I'd rather see this instead of global thermonuclear war. ?

No. Just like the Stocks, Maps, and HomeKit apps on an iPhone, you may never want to use it but you can't truly remove it... It's baked into the system recovery image.
