PowerUp 6.8.0 released

[Mach-Lee]

Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but I thought if you leave it plugged in on an L2 charger, it will trickle charge LVB.

No, LVB is not trickle charged when plugged in. If car is parked unused, LVB will drain and you'll have issues installing updates until you drive the car long enough to recharge.

It’s interesting how many people apparently don’t ever use lane assist/centering or adaptive cruise. My speed is always to the right because those are always on in my car. I frankly forgot you could even get the speedo to show up in the center.

I’m used to it always being on the right side, you get used to it.

I honestly didn’t even know you could have the speed in the middle. I’m probably in the minority, but I don’t care for it.

This is a prime example of how you can't please everyone.

The change isn’t necessary for anything. There are reasons for 6.8 being pushed as it is but they don’t involve needing to have a useless car graphic (in some cases) dead center in the IPC.

Wish they would have added Audio to IPC. It's crazy with the huge center display we can't have a split screen with audio & maps!

Lord knows. But, if it’s not a popular decision I’d bet they change it back. Probably with the same time frame as they’re using for fully operational remote frunk releases on 2021 job 1 cars.

In the meantime, we can all hold our breath waiting on the next gen CarPlay which might allow us to bypass this nonsense. I’m sure Apple will have that all tested and released as advertised — December 31, 2023.

I don't think you'll find existing models will be compatible with the new CarPlay.

I'd totally forgotten that it moves around too. I just got used to it.

Wherever it is on the screen, seems like it ought to stay in one consistent place though.

Appears so. Car is in park with cruise control and lane keep assist off.

Since day 1 we've been asking Ford for improvements like adding song info or driving efficiency to the cluster and instead they do this.... ?‍?‍?‍

This means the cool drive mode cluster themes are basically gone too.

Wait so it doesn't change in Unbridle anymore?

Does this please anyone?

I have mine on most of the time, but I like being able to see just the speed too.

I just don’t understand the logic behind this. I’d understand if there were issues and they had to temporarily remove it, but why just remove it? I cannot understand the logic behind removing something that nobody was complaining about. Like let’s remove parts of the UI people don’t mind and just ignore the parts people hate…. We’ll remove things you like, but let’s keep those silly blue buttons! I’m not implying it would’ve been easier to replace those buttons icons than coding out the full screen speed, but surely the little thing we’ve been complaining about for an entire year would be a higher priority than removing things that don’t bother people at all if we’re just speaking in terms of UI enhancements.

Maybe there was an issue that impacts other functionality with upcoming updates, but the logic for now is just baffling to me.

They showed a build with new button icons 4 months ago and for some reason, they still haven't released them, despite 6.2.1 being a Sync module update where they could have been included.

I received another update last night with no version# and that ford re-released with some improvements. I had all of this in my previous 6.2.0 update from back in mid-october.

Any ideas what these improvements could be?

I think this might be either 6.2.1 or "Priority Update 23-PU1103-NAT-VCE" depending on model. The version number is at the bottom of the release notes, I believe.

At least for me this IPC update introduced a GT boot/splash screen. Instead of being the default blue with a non-GT Mach-E it now matches the sync screen and shows the gold GT Mach-E.

Very nice for consistency.

Also the speed limit signs now show a “- -“ when it doesn’t know the limit. Instead of it being blank.

My 2023 premium RWD X just reinstalled 6.2.0 ?‍
