OTA Update #2 Installed. Notice Any Differences?

[generaltso]

The main screen and small screen now have individual settings per screen for auto, light or dark.

They always did.

At delivery I set dark three weeks ago. Both screens were in sync. Did not notice individual settings. Got in last night and one was white and one was dark. Weird how something got them out of sync.

The settings out of sync feature isn't new, either. ?

My Ford Pass says not Bluetooth connected. I thought I had my phone Bluetooth connection turned on? Is there a Bluetooth connection on the Ford app?
I haven't received any updates yet.

It's the current status for Phone as a Key. If you walk close enough to the car, it'll connect. Usually.

Didn't get the second one yet. Wondering if it should be plugged in to receive updates.

Would be nice to get the first one.

Maybe @breeves002 could check your vin to see if it's already applied?

It doesn't seem like your missing anything though.

Use dianostic mode (radio on, use volumn down and previous channel button on steering wheel)

Look at ECG Diagnostics and then compare the "part numbers" to what breeves002 showed as current

I followed this instruction. It worked. I confirmed that I have not received the second OTA. I received my 1st OTA pretty late as well, so it's not a surprise to me.

Make sure you turn on the radio first. I tried unsuccessfully for a few times, until I realize the instruction starts with "radio on". So, it's 3 steps.

1. Turn on radio
2. Press and hold "volume down" and "prev" on steering wheel
3. Choose "ECG Diagnostics" (last one in the list of squares on the left)

Thanks for the clarification, didn't realize the radio had to be on.

Also, this will work for the current two updates, no guarantee it will always work in the event future updates do not impact the same areas.

For those wondering, did I get an update? Where is my update.. You could.

Note, not all the updates show up here, but there are enough to tell where you stand versus the current.

I must be “special” ???. None of my software part numbers match what’s listed above. My software part numbers are of the form:
MU5T-14H127-xx
MU5T-14H131-xx
Where xx varies for each different line item. I have 3 of the 131s and 19 of the 127s

Scroll to the top of the ECG page. Look at the part numbers listed prior to the expanded part numbers section.

Look at the VMCU bootloader and config as well as the AP bootloader and config.

Ok, so looking at those, it seems the only thing that is of interest are the last two characters, which are BC and AT. They correspond to the bottom half of the screenshot @breeves002 provided. I believe that row was OTA 1? This is odd.
Here’s a thought: supposedly, Ford began pushing OTA 1 on March 18. I did not pick up my car from the dealer until March 31. Perhaps OTA 1 made it to my car before I received it? Before the car was “authorized” by me? Can Ford send updates to unauthorized cars?

Sure. Why wouldn't they?

Happy to hear you've had the update that you thought you were missing out in for roughly 150 posts. ???

I ran @Jimrpa and @Ixoye ’s VINs. Neither have received OTA update one. Both of them attempted to update on April 1 and it hung at “Update VIL Generation”. VIL stands for “Vehicle Interrogator Creation Supstep“. I have no idea what any of this means unfortunately as Ford hasn’t published this info in the WSM.
