Had my car in the dealer today for a Remote Start Issue and while it was in, I had them apply 1.7.1 via FDRS.

A couple of small UI differences I've noticed.. in the trip computer I noticed it updates data much quicker. A lot closer to real time updates, rather than every 60 seconds..

Another thing I noticed... The battery icon changed in the trip computer. Anyone have an idea what this might mean?

It says mine is up to date to 1.7.1 but I don't actually see any of the new features. Do I have to reset something somehow?

Be patient: Even though the car says you have 1.7.1 you don't until you see the features (and FordPass tells you to).

My car said I had 1.7.1 and then a day later FordPass was all "whoops, it didn't install".

So until you see "Notes" you don't have 1.7.1.

Fordpass literally alerted me moments after this post haha. I have it now! I’ll definitely use this super practical calculator function instead of my phone.

I think 1.7.1 is older than the version in new cars. My GT was built in July and it has what I believe a newer version than what shown in your screenshots. I cannot see the version, but the Notes app is renamed to Sketch.
Btw I also have the crossed battery icon, and the trip computer is still making the mistakes mentioned in other threads (screenshot shows I traveled 1.5 mile but I was just parked inside my garage..).

Yes the GTs are coming with a newer build. It's about a week newer and is not from the stable branch of builds. 1.7.1 is a stable build.

Makes sense that a stable branch s for a herd of horses. Need to have some containment.

Do you have an inside source? I love that someone might actually know something.
I have family that works in a higher level role for the In-Vehicle electronics support team and she said that nobody shares any info about any of this OTA stuff with teams that support it at all.
They learn about it when users call in for support on the new features/software

Why isn’t the Gt version 1.7.1 and the stable build 1.7.2?

Because they, for whatever reason, are all over the place. Just like how 1.4 used to be the most current version and people received 1.6 BEFORE 1.4.

But in this case, the GT version is a newer build, it just isn't stable yet, which is why it has a greater build number. The GT version has a few more bug fixes and changes, plus it has Blue Cruise.

I can’t decide if I want expanded CarPlay or BlueCruise more lol

I understand that the different OTA are for different modules and are not linked. Maybe when all the module updates are completed and the standard and GT variants match OTA levels then they will start to have incremental build numbers.
