Power-Up 4.x software updates should begin rolling out

[Mach-Lee]

I think 4.x updates are coming to F150 Lightning first, we may have to wait a little while after that.

You say ‘gen pop’ like we’re all in Ford Prison. ?

Aren't we?

Any guesses on what new bug they'll introduce in this round?

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry

So right you are. Unfortunately not on my Lightning yet.

Sometimes I feel we are all in the Lost island.

1. Android Automotive OS for all MMEs.
2. Next Gen Apple CarPlay OS for all MMEs.
3. No More 5-second rule for GTs. The 5-second rule is being transferred to the Select model instead.
4. The profile bugs are all fixed. All new profile bugs are introduced, however.
5. DCFC charging curve has been revised. You will now be limited to 50 kW to preserve the HVBJB.
6. Pong Classic.
7. The range meter is being changed to a maximum value determined for each drive entirely at random.
8. @Jimrpa's car will get a frunk button. The rest of job 1 cars? Tough. His frunk button will not do a thing though.
9. Belching sounds at the driver's discretion. Fart was taken.
10. EA owners will no longer be engaged in final release testing. You're now being upgraded to Alpha Testing.
11. Optional, at extra cost, external motor sounds. Sorry, Warner Brothers wanted too much for The Jetson's car sound. There will be a knock off version of the Star Wars "Pew Pew Pew" sound available though.
12. GPS position errors and conflicts will now be resolved through the use of Ford's all-new and exclusive Digital Dartboard Geographical Resolution program or DDGR.

A frunk button may be included in one of those updates, whether it works or not is another story.

Not necessarily. Just because you heard about an upcoming series of PowerUps doesn't mean they won't be pushed to FDRS first. Doesn't mean they will either.

My Mach E has been stuck on 3.5.4

I didn't renew my FDRS subscription when it expired last month, so playing the "wait and see" game is going to be an experience, although I believe the game in this case is actually just called "wait."

Actually, he'll be the only Job 1 with the button, but it will open all other Job 1 frunks except his own.

I was able to activate the frunk button with FDRS on my Job 1 Mach E, that’s what you’re talking about?

Yes, you can activate it with FDRS. But not everyone has access to that, and dealers won't do it for free.

 

[MikeM67]

You can have my frunk button. I never use it. I’d rather have a rear hatch button on the main screen.

Agreed. I've used mine twice only because I see people complaining and want to try it out.

I used mine the other day for the same reason ?

No, we’re talking about the frunk button in FordPass. 2021 J1 vehicles don’t have it even if we have done the updates to get it on the Sync screen.

Yup, and the only place I ever use a “button” to open my frunk is in the FordPass app. When I am in the car, it just seems easier to use the mechanical release than to dig through menus to push the button on the screen. Maybe I am old. ??

So, Ford needs to not only update the software in. The cars, but also their FP server back-end so that it recognizes that the SW and HW are present and displays the button for 2021 Job1 cars. Pretty lame to have the SW available (even if only through FDRS) and not have their servers recognize it. ??

I use the Frunk all the time. It’s far more useful to me than the trunk. Things in the Frunk stay hidden.

is this code for something? do I need to find a ticket book? it's been a while...
