The Sync connection is the actual Sync OS connecting to wifi from the APIM. The TCU wifi connection is what actually downloads the module update files.
I don't recall ever seeing SYNC connect. Only the TCU. I assume most of the connections are transmitting charge and trip logs.
Yep. Plus the AT&T hotspot, so technically 3.
A perspective that is hard to disagree with but ...
So, I would offer the following: @Ford Motor Company obviously believes the software is sufficiently ready to put into production, retail vehicles, otherwise there would not be GTs that have been sold with the software. So, it can’t be the BlueCruise software specifically, that is delaying deployment. It must be something unique to the GT that they have to overcome. I think it’s the illuminated pony ?
Quite possible. I'm a (retired) airline pilot by trade. I can authoritatively say a lot about airplanes. There are a fair number of people with engineering backgrounds here who could speculate far better than I can. Unfortunately, the Ford people that know are either no longer here and most assuredly could not tell us anyway.
I used to be an engineer in a prior life a long time ago, until they moved me to someplace where I could do a lot less harm - management ? I still have an instinct for how very complex hardware/software systems (like say interplanetary spacecraft, large data networks, or my printer on my home network ?) might work from a system level, and I have a fairly decent “spidey sense” when there might be program delays on a large program and can make some guesses as to potential program issues that would drive them ?
I very much suspect the issue is indeed with the OTA process to deliver the BC software. As stated, since it is apparently functional in cars which have had it installed at the factory, the most logical remaining variable is the delivery/installation NOT done at the factory.
