OTA Updates

[Tony Farnham]

Just looking at the posts on OTA "software update 12" and noticed that my automatic update switch had been set "off". My last update was about 3 months ago so it must have happened since then. Does this mean that I have missed the latest updates, or will I still get them now it is switched back on?

Yes, you’ll get whatever is needed when it contacts the mothership. Three months isn’t long at all between updates. My 2023 got its last minor update in April. It was October 2025 before that.

If Automatic Updates is switched off, you will be prompted to accept each incoming OTA individually. That’s the only difference. That switch being off does not prevent you from receiving OTAs.

Many thanks for the advice

Where do these prompts appear?

I haven't seen a prompt like this in nearly four years.

Thanks!

In five years, I have never once seen either of those icons on the car's display. I'm guessing that they exist only on newer versions of the Mach-E software. (My software version is 3.5.3, which is pretty old.)
