Does any like the new way of replying to a text msg- only with canned entries. The old method was much better where you could verbally reply. Bad update, I think

Yes, @Ford Motor Company needs to get their act together and make other markets outside the US feel like they not second class.
EU has many more, and more complex, laws around data use. An update that can be deployed "instantly" in NA takes significantly longer for EU vehicles, as it has to clear all the EU regulatory hurdles. Certainly not a "second class" issue.

So I got my car about a week ago - yesterday I got 3.5.2 and this morning I got 3.5.3 - I guess it is just as they are ready - is there a way to sign up for the EA program to get them sooner?

I'm picking my MME up on Friday. If I remember, I'll check and see if the dealer installed the update.

You can sign up but may be wait listed. Keep in mind that while the software you receive is a release candidate, it may have bugs or glitches. You’re volunteering to do a bit of beta testing.

I have this update set to install tonight. Are you in EA? I also got the notice about Intelligent Range being turned off, I assumed this update was that.
Same.

Seems like this update is actually a downgrade……. Just turning off the intelligent range.

I hope they snuck some other bug fixes in there though. The daily profile issue is getting old.

Probably a bug fix disguised as an update. That or they changed the seed on the random number generator for the range indicator.

So this does look like a newer version of powertrain software than I currently have, but nothing is showing up for me (OTA or FDRS). Except for BECM version, which the same version I currently have (which I flashed in late September). I hope the OTA server is checking all the versions instead of just the BECM version.
Like you I'm already running most of these same versions in my 21J1. (Some may be different between MY).

I think it's odd that if you're in EA that you get pushed something (assuming you're a beta tester as part of the EA program) that also appears within a day or so in FDRS..or sometimes before the the OTA even rolls out. So if you have FDRS you essentially are getting the same stuff that EA folks are getting and sometimes faster.

I think EA is often used for testing the OTA deployment process more than the actual software version they're deploying.
