OTA Update ECG-24.2.4.9

[avdonr]

After -FAM comes -FAN....and then Sync 1122.

Based on what I’ve seen, they removed the dependency on -FAN for the 6.14 sync update. New dependency is likely this -FAP version of the gateway.

Looks like -FAN was pulled shortly after you received it (wasn’t available on any of the 2023s I checked but -FAP now is).

I am in EA

What does EA mean in this context?

Early Access... like Ford's beta program for software updates.

Thanks. I forgot that one. I think I am in the “NA” program…?.

I am also in the "NA" program, my 23 GT has not received an update for over 3 months.

I received this update but not sure what it all means. Sorry for my ignorance.

Hmmm... I knew it. These vehicles have now started to transmit software. We have Nvidia GPUs and AI somewhere...

Vehicles transmitting software? Why would a vehicle do that? Where is the software being transmitted to?

This is a GWM update so you can get the next APIM update. This page explains the updates a bit better.

If you read the release notes screenshot in the first post, that's what it says. ;-)

I can imagine a sort of distributed AI where each vehicle creates a model of its own, and based on an accuracy score shares it with neighboring cars that have lower scores. Then each of them attempts to better the score by doing random modifications to the new model. Winner gets to spread is version of the model. Like evolution but much faster...

Given that Ford can't even get an OTA out with simple stuff, I'm guessing some intern was put in charge of the release notes, since the senior software engineers are working on ground breaking tech.

You’re really overthinking this. This is a gateway module update which allows other module updates to proceed. So for this update, “receiving software” means getting OTAs from the ford servers, and “transmitting software” likely means the GWM handling the OTA process for other modules in the car.

no disagreement on bad release notes though… they’ve gotten marginally better but that’s not saying much.

Just got this today, I'm NOT in EA but I did run all the FDRS updates last month.

Looks like this is new. Can you make a new thread?

Oh snap, missed the ".1" at the end. Will do.

My 2023 received ECG-24.2.4.9 today.

Some are getting ECG-24.2.4.9.1. The write ups are a little bit different ... wondering if there is a slight difference between the two.
