Let me write the release notes:
The BlueCruise PowerUp would be “Duck Dodgers! In the 21st and a fifth century!”
2nd that. You have early adopters here who want to help you make it better but it feels like there is no outlet with ears/eyes to hear.
I’m waiting for the Family Guy update (just like the way Apple ran out of cats, ford will run out of Warner brothers cartoons).The BlueCruise PowerUp would be “Duck Dodgers! In the 21st and a fifth century!”
1..7.1 ? The Tasmanian Devil update of course.
2.1? TBD
There are actually quite a few Ford employees here. The former chief engineer for the car lurks these forums. People from engineering, finance, production, and other areas of expertise are here. There's also an official presence. What we say here is watched, occasionally commented on and used in feedback.
Minor update and version changes is fine. It could be they had some minor update that killed some backwards compatibility. The other one is some place just go to vs 2 for the next year. Honestly app versioning numbers is more or less arbitrary. There are general guide lines but no huge reasoning. Where I work we use a.b.c so an app update could be 1.0.3. C is updated if we are doing bug fixes or not changing the API calls at all. Everything is the same. B is updated if we say added a new API call but it is fully backwards compatible. A is updated if there was something that requires the person to move to the next version.
Yup: Been a software developer going on 30 years now....
I do hope you're right, but I'm skeptical, given the inconsistencies (mostly major schedule slips) between "official statements by Ford leaders in social media" and what we experience in real life *cough*BlueCruise*cough*
I believe @breeves002 posted a thread with a subject similar to "What to say to a dealer to get updates", but I'm too lazy (actually, multi-tasking at work) to search right now.
same with mine. Being stuck in 1.7.1 update grayed mine out.
I believe that to be accurate, as well. But, it really does seem like they most of what we post about does NOT get passed along to the appropriate team. When I had my IPC replaced but it was still buzzing, I had a call with the engineers from the "anything that makes a noise it shouldn't" team and the IPC team, along with a few other engineers. They sounded like they had no idea what was causing the buzzing. They said it was fully fixed in production cars, which would now be all GTs, and sent me a new IPC. When I said it wasn't fixed, they were seriously confused. I even offered to send a video of the buzzing and they were very excited to get that... even though you could literally sit in any MME and hear it. When I mentioned other issues, a lot of responses were that they had never even heard of that problem. The harmonic bounce due to the suspension was a complete loop. They passed it along to the suspension team and I got the response that they had no idea about this issue and would look into it.
The key ones to ask for are TSB-21P22 that fixes a lot of issues, Because I am stuck on an update I asked for the TSB-21-2249 IMPA update, there is a Sync4 update called TSB-21-2405. If you have a loud fan noise when charging TSB-021-2288 fixes that. There is also Power-up 1.4, 1.6 1.7.1 and now today 2.1. You can ask them to do all the power up software updates. I am not sure you need all of these but you can research more detail by searching the TSB numbers in here to give you more details.
