Ford PowerUp Updates - Get Your Updates Fast! 

Which buttons did use on the mach e?

On the steering wheel, volume down+right arrow (forward) button@@chada472

Glad it helped!

was your blue cruise not working? My truck came with the map expired for blue cruise to work and dealer has no idea how to update this. pretty frustrating. Just followed the video now and hope updates start happening.

@@jskyba so I cancelled an update back in December and all updates completely stopped, so my bluecruise wasn’t working and I was about 4 or 5 updates behind. I’m not sure how “the map expired” works, but I followed this and after about 3 or 4 days, I had bluecruise and the most up to date software. The dealership could help you and they’re choosing not to if you ask me…I was close to ordering the computer hook up thing and doing it myself, but thanks to this guy, I didn’t have to.

@@rmcglynn80 thank you. I hope this solves all issues. had it at dealership for a day and they said car is not taking any updates. but today I got 3.5.2 and now am doing these new steps from vide to see if I can get more updates

@@jskyba honestly after a couple days, I was like, “oh this is bullshit” but I was wrong. I hope it works for you bc I feel your pain for real.

For most people, you`ll have the best success shutting off your wifi and letting the updates download over the cellular modem in your truck.

I have squat for ATT signal where I live. I'll give this a whirl keeping wifi on to see what happens.@@lardiop

The best method that I have found is to shut off the wifi, make sure you're somewhere that has good cell signal, and let it download that way. It doesnt cost you anything to do it that way.

Same here. My truck has over 28 attempts to update and still no love. Trickle charged the battery to get it up to full and still no successful update. With all the electronic extraneous activity going on in this truck, why can't they use an charger from the hybrid battery to keep the truck's 12 volt topped off? I'm retired but have a part time job for something to do. It's 10 minutes away from where I live so not much charging going on. Eventually I go to a dark truck in the morning after a while. Just maddening. Never had to worry about my 12 volt or have to manually charge the battery on anything I've owned over the years. This one is supposed to wipe my ass, but I guess it uses so much battery power waiting to wipe that the battery goes low. There's where the darn inverter would come in handy. It's a pretty obvious oversight in my opinion. Anyway, the update battle rages on! (Why do we need to put the parking brake on??? It was never explained.)

@@SgtBFGunner I took my truck to the dealer to let them update it and it kept failing for them too. They said the apim module was bad and would need replaced. $900 fix. They also told me they had to replace several of them. Not good news.

@@jhamilton968 Damn, another module. Had to have my transmission control module replaced, backordered for months. Way too many "modules". Thanks.

You can try, but sites like F150forums and F150gen14 are filled with anecdotal experiences noting that you'll have the best chance with downloads coming over your cell modem as opposed to wifi.

Did it work for you?

@@jasoncarpenters7838 Negative, tried it twice and still no luck unfortunately. Went to dealer yesterday to get fixed and their WiFi was down, still no fix. Giant waste of time, now I have to go back Monday...

I received 3.5.3 5/20/23. I was hoping for use of rear camera while driving update on my 21 Fl50 502a. Did you get that update?

@@racercalleddantanmo I got that one just before the 3.5.2, I think.

@@racercalleddantanmo I did get it - I believe II am current at this point with 4.5.something.

Yes, there are issues with a small file downloaded near the end of the 3.5.3 update that doesnt seem to be completing for a lot of folks. My truck is in the same boat. Just wait it out or use FDRS.

Change your battery. There’s some defect with the batteries from Ford where they don’t stay up where they need to. I changed mine earlier today and had an update available when I got home from The parts store.

@@garricksmith417what battery did you get?

It helped me bump the update for a recall but it’s stuck at 2.7.3

Just started it for the second time. Got nothing when I did it 2 days ago.

Idk how or why, but this worked

What versions are you stuck on?

How do I fix this??! Wanna update my Sync 4 on the Bronco.

@@TragicHamad you can't unless someone with FDRS and Mongoose plus where they physically change the APIM (sync 4) update to the original unrestricted version

سيارتي وارد امريكي فيها وايرلس وللاسف مافي تحديثات

Same here, my guess is it worked for him because he got FDRS

Me too man. We may have the same build date….@jetdust

Same. Just tried this tonight. Fingers crossed.

Exact same situation. 2.7.4 in October is my most recent.

You can go to the forums and ask guys to run your vin to see if there is a pending update. The guy told me I didn’t have a pending update in 60 days so looks like it hasn’t been my turn yet. That and my battery is bad. Doesn’t hold charges and my auto start/stop get disabled so that’s going to be an issue for me too whenever it actually gets pushed to me.

Check the OTA site linked in the description to see if Ford is even pushing updates to your truck right now. There are also issues with 3.5.3 that are causing it to not install.

Any luck I’m also stuck on 2.7.3

There are a lot of variables involved with actually getting the updates form Ford. The 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 updates have been a bit of a train wreck for Ford and are just starting to go out to MY21 and MY22 trucks. You might need to wait until it gets in your update queue, check the description for a link to how to see that for your truck.

What version are you on right now?

There's definitely something different going on with these updates. I'm just a couple behind but it's my understanding that 4.1.1 thru 4.1.3 have been out since January. I finally got the first of 3, and was told by ford that the updates cone out to the oldest produced lightnings to tge newest. If that's true then I should've been one of the first to get all the updates. Mine came to the dealer June of last year. So I returned to the deal to have them push the other 2 updates, only to find out that the other 2 updates aren't available yet for my lightning platinum to be pushed. Strange. So just because there are newer updates for the lightning out there doesn't mean they are available for your VIN. Everyone tells me to be patient. Now I'm thinking that even if I had an ODB-2 with a paid subscription you may not be able to get these updates.

Such updates are required on any other car except for Ford. What does that tell you?
