UPDATES

[armyGT]

I have a 2024 GT Premium that I bought in July 2024. Over the past two weeks, I've been getting e-mails telling me that I need to set my car for updates. They say refer to Ford Pass. I did and not much made sense to me. I called Ford Customer Service and a gentleman walked me through the process while I was in the car with the screen on. Under settings they ask you for times. From what I understand there are updates than can come in as you drive and there are those that come in while the car is parked, windows up, and locked.
Battery must be over 80%.
Supposedly, you will get a warning that an update is coming. You will also be advised if the update worked or not.
Sometimes I wonder...
Has anyone else had this amount of fun?

Didn’t bother me at all. It does what it gotta do.

You'll know when you get an update, as all of the updates have reset several of the personalized parameters. But once you reset things a few times, like your favorite interior colors etc., it'll become second nature.

Ford has been encouraging people to setup or confirm Over The Air updates have been enabled.

I received the emails a few times, even though my Model Year is not involved with OTAs.

Yes, as the updates process, they draw a lot of power.

This search references several threads on the OTA model and what Members are doing.

Well, I've had things resetting...more often when I first got the car but seemed to be settling down. Just had them put a supercharger on the car Friday and figured everything would be reset with battery disconnect. But all seemed fine when I got it back. Checking deeper in the settings though my start in quiet mode settings had been cancelled, which I thought they might have done with the testing and tuning after the blower install, but my frigging ambient lighting color setting had also reset again to that default Amber color. So I dunno. I'll see if this continues!

Yep, it will continue.

I have the fuse pulled for the updates bs my car runs fine no reason for the OTA updates or ford randomly deciding to do something stupid

This came on August 9th and updated while my car sat in the Parking Lot at work. I was really shocked since I haven’t received an update in A couple of months.

Which fuse are you referring to?
Telematics, #8?

Do you realize that a warranty claim could be refused due to damage caused by not allowing the car to update? I understand the whole tracking thing with FordPass. But OTA updates to major electronic parts is a whole other thing. I’d certainly think twice about not allowing them.

I think you quoted the wrong person….lol

If it self destructs it qualifies for a recall. Malfunctioning software is not the responsibility of the user.

What is the current version of software that's shown? I have my car set to update any day after 1AM but have seen ZERO notification of any updates?
