Software Updates

[Mach-Lee]

I can confirm that 21G01 is still on hold due to IPC programming issue - just got the call from my dealer. I did get a couple of other updates, though, so not a total loss.

EDIT: Service guy also mentioned that there was an F150 update to address flickering headlights they applied to a truck yesterday. Fixed the headlights but now the interior cabin lights strobe. Now that update is on hold. We are not alone.........

Strobing lights mean the TPMS sensors aren't programmed, tell them to drive the truck a couple miles and they will fix themselves.

I’m sure it’s on hold because Ford is preparing to substitute BC1.2 for BC1.0.

sure hope so.

Bought June 2021, still on original software (1.7 but actually just says XX).

Been to dealer almost a dozen times. Told 4 months ago I need new APIM but all APIMs are defective and they can't get one, for 4 months.

Just want to share my experience as of today:

I took my 5/2021 build into the @Ford Motor Company dealership last week to have the 21G01 fix applied among other things. picked it up today. everything was done, except the blue cruise fix. here is the messaging on the paperwork: "could not be done at this time due to a programming concern with IPC"

as you could imagine, I was quite annoyed so I asked some questions. turns out on January 4th, Ford asked dealers to temporarily stop applying this fix. He showed me the message on FDRS and that is what it said.

I waited so long for the appointment and loaner. pretty frustrating. I'm in the same boat as OP, stuck on 2.7.4. if anyone has any advice, I'm all ears.

As an update, I finally received 2.8.1 via OTA last night! I was ecstatic and shocked because I’ve been stuck for months. Not sure if they changed the messaging, so here is a pic.

Edit: want to give anyone who is stuck with an early 21 model some hope as I had none for months!
