New Audio System Update

[Thrush]

Would this possibly cause this Ford Pass message I've been getting?

Typically it's a low battery.

Yep. That means your battery isn't getting charged appropriately. Hell mine drains so quick I never even get that message. And have come home from a business trip to find my new ass truck dead in the parking garage.

When mine was new my wife drove it down to meet me at a BMW rally in Virginia. The truck was off for 3 days and the battery died. Luckily I had my lithium battery and the camper part to jump it and start it. Since then I turned off welcome lighting and all that other bullshit. But I still don't trust it . When I'm not using it it's plugged into a battery tender.

Mine is nearly dead even after being on the trickle charger... Can tell by the "cheapo" entry chimes. Gonna be real pissed if this truck killed ANOTHER battery in under 12 mo.

Date with the dealer on the 11th.

I always carry a jump pack now... Fully expecting it to be dead after the next business trip.

Well, apparently I got the update as the stereo was “unleashed.” Sound went from good on usb lossless and decent on Spotify to outstanding on almost everything. XM is still the worst, but it’s now at the level usb digital started. Weird part, no updates show. It just changed overnight… FoMoCo updating at its finest!

Is usb louder than carplay ? because i used tidal flac on carplay and the volume isnt enough.

I found my truck had an audio update sent from ford. I was never really happy with the B&O system so I told it to update right when it came through.

All I can say is WOW it makes the system sound like it should. Also the processor seems to utilize the speakers in the headrests much more effectively.

Only downside was it seemed to reset myview (again).

I’m going on a year on my 24 and haven’t gotten any updates yet ? That I know !!

Mine is a 22’ and never got the B&O update. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t have paid for the “upgraded” audio system.

On the truck itself. Main menu. Software updates.

The app will list the latest release notes for software update. From the main screen in the ford pass app tap settings then tap software updates.

My last update was 4/13 for Window functionality.

Just got my truck back from a two day dealer stay for OTA updates stuck.

Thought it was just this battery optimization that was stuck, turns out truck had no new updates since October 2023

They had to do updates to several modules .

If you still have warranty just take it to have it scanned for availability updates. The said it would have been a 12 hour labor charge if I no longer had warranty

 

[MikeJ19]

That’s interesting and crazy that OTA updates that failed would be charged for post warranty.

In the FordPass app do you have any of these messages regarding updates?

“You’re rolling with the latest Ford Power-up”

The last time I had one of those in the app was 2023

 

[MikeJ19]

No, haven’t seen that for some time in the app.

Updates look like this for me.
