Sorry if this isnt the right area or if its been covered. I got my Lightning 2 weeks ago and haven't received any OTA updates. I would have thought I would have received when I check the sync version, it says 22082_product, and I show no previous updates in the software updates section of the sync 4a. I have read that others have been getting their Phone as a Key enabled but mine is not. What could be happening or am I just impatient?

I got my Lightning 2 weeks ago and haven't received any OTA updates.

When was the truck built? Do you see any reference to 3.5.2 in the Ford Pass app? (–> |Vehicle|Features & Settings|Software Updates|Recent Changes) My truck has a July build date and 3.5.2 is the latest update and it did not enable PaaK for my truck.

6/22/22 was my build date, and no reference to updates in sync or Ford Pass

"RECENT CHANGES" shows directly above "HAVE QUESTIONS? GET ANSWERS" line in my app after getting the first update.

My first OTA update from 3.1 to 3.5.2 came after 28 days.

Thanks - maybe I just need to wait till the next OTA update. I would have thought I would get 3.5.2 but maybe it was on 3.5.2 before I bought it (bought 2 weeks ago after 3.5.2 was released) and it only shows future updates once you associate it to your FP.

Voltz, were you able to get your BlueCruise hands free working prior to the OTA updates?

 

[Voltz]

BlueCruise hands free working prior to the OTA updates?

Yes, I hadn't really focused on BCH-F. I finally drove on a known BlueCruise route on September 1st, and hands-free took control. (I remember the date because it was a birthday trip for someone.) Then, I got 3.5.2 on 9/7 according to the app.

It first took control in heavy traffic. I wish I could say I was more impressed. BCHF on my truck seems to favor the lines next to traffic rather than biasing toward right or left sidemarker lines of multi-lane highways. It also seemed very abrubt in varying traffic speeds. Seriously, I can drive a hell of a lot better than that. There is some opinon I have read that jumping from 3.1 to 3.5.2 may have skipped any refinements to 1-pedal, regen, and BC in 3.4. I don't know.

I'm beginning to appreciate the fact that these systems are great checks on driver mistakes and have a better chance of saving my bacon than anything I've ever driven. But, I haven't gotten used to letting go of the wheel and letting the computer closely hug the lane separator lines. Sometimes, I wonder if it's camera alignment, but I think it has built-in self calibration.

I'm sure this is posted elsewhere but I can't find it. How the heck do I determine what software version I have. On the car, all I can see is the SYNC 4 version, but that shows Revision 428, not 3.5.2 or similar as is being discussed in this discussion. My FordPass app does not have a "Recent Changes" line. I just took delivery of my Lightning this last Monday, and clicking the software update button on Settings in the truck says I'm up to date.

thanks

Go to settings / system updates
This will list your most recent update.

 

[everiklevine]

Hmmm, not on my screen. Maybe I don’t see the SW version until after I get my first update?

That is correct. Your system is up to date with no Power Ups post-delivery. It’s also shown in the Ford Pass app.
When was your truck built?

 

[everiklevine]

10/22/22

10/22/22

If it hasn’t been built yet, what are you looking at?

 

[everiklevine]

Ugh… 08/22!
I just picked it up this last Monday, 10/10.

I am still unclear as to the need of a cell tower connection for OTA updates. I live in a river valley and in the garage the Lightning has no cell connection but it does have a solid strong WiFi connection. Will it update with ONLY a WiFi connection. I have had the truck for a month and as of yet no updates!

 

[swajames]

Mine was delivered on 8/19 and it wasn't getting any updates nor did things like the onboard scales and smart hitch show up in the app. After a few calls to the Ford OTA team I ended up making a service appointment and I've now got the latest software including phone as a key plus Fordpass now shows smart hitch and the scales.

Interestingly, when my dealer initially talked to the Ford technical team about the missing features in Fordpass, they were told that smart hitch and the scales do not show up in the app and that this was normal behavior....

 

[richard6623123226]

What in the world?? I did FINALLY get 3.5.2 last week and I noticed no real changes. I thought I would get all the changes made in previous power ups. I dont have any of that. No PAAK, no smart hitch and scales in FP.

But I can honk the horn and flash the lights.

PaaK, etc aren’t in 3.5.2

Power Up 3.x series

My Lightning has received two Power Ups in the last two days. Yesterday’s 3.1.0 was minimal and largely prepped the truck for 3.2.0 that came today. 3.1.0 was discussed here: Ford Power-Up 3.1.0 Update: What is in it? 3.2.0 Has some significant new features: Dual phones Payload limit warning...

www.lightningowners.com

Good news is you are receiving PowerUps and are up to date .

 

[Justjoe]

Hmm? Still waiting.....

 

[ChasingCoral]

Hmm? Still waiting.....

Remember that the more recently-built trucks already have the latest software. You won't get a PowerUp until it provides something new.
