All your settings are right where you left them, for now. Do not turn off your vehicle so that we may finish rearranging your radio presets and resetting your climate control options.

Hi, I'm your Ford assistant. ... A little regen braking here, mildly excessive windshield wiping there ... Great. And we're all set. If you need me, just say "Hey, Ford." Or, play your favorite podcast and I'll wake up when the hosts say anything like "he was bored."
Sensing you've installed Windows 10 a few times.

Supposed to get my Star White Premium 6/02. Is updating the software part of the vehicle prep or does it come from the factory with all updates? Or is it like my iPhone where part of setup is to install outstanding update?

The dealer typically won't install anything unless there are open recalls instructing them to do so. The updates detailed in the TSBs and SSMs are only supposed to be installed if the customer complains of the specific problems they're meant to address. That being said, the later your car leaves the factory, the higher the chances that it will have the newer software on its modules already.

You can find the Ford PDI form attached to this post:
https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/dealer-pre-delivery-checklist-for-the-mach-e.2879/
It states "field service actions" should be completed in addition to recalls. I'm not sure how Ford classifies SSMs.

How can you tell what Updates have been pushed?

Still zero updates here, unless the car updated without providing notifications in my car or on my phone.

I've received two notifications for updates, but no noticeable differences with either. If anything PAAK seems to be working more reliably (waking car up,) but that isn't saying much. 80% of the time I have to remove the phone from my pocket to start the car.

Alrighty so it was another GWM update. It appears all of the software now has the same suffix in the part number so that is interesting...Maybe we'll get some updates of substance next time? It took me forever to get the first update so I figure it'll be that way with this one.

Where can we get this information? It would be helpful to be able to see this for our vehicles.

Is there any way for people without special access to tell when the car received its last update?

It is possible you both got your update and didn’t notice. If you don’t use the app religiously it is real easy to miss the update notification in sync 4. PM me your VIN and I can see if your car updated (or failed updating).
I use the app incredibly religiously (PaaK), looking through messages compulsively (because I detest red badges, etc) and no mention of any updates. Just charging events and journeys.

You have to be a dealer. Even if you purchase a Ford subscription, connected car info isn't included. Only to dealer logins.

Nope, not at this time. They really should show an update history somewhere in the car.

PM me your VIN and I can see if you have an error in the update or if you got it without being notified for some reason.

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

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

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