Update Pending Ford Power-Up 6.3.0

[rugedraw]

Just received this notice for the Power-Up 6.3.0 but I have not updated as of yet. Has anyone else received this update notice? Successful on the update? Are there any known issues with this update? I've been unable to find any Bronco information about this update hence I'm hesitant to move forward with it.

6.3.0 is an APIM update. Release notes are:

Group ID 1 - Ford Power-Up 6.3.0

This is awesome.. I can't wait to send them a recording telling them how much their updates keep fucking up SYNC as opposed to actually fixing it! This could be fun!

Trust me, you won't be the first or the last to do so. I've heard people on the F150 forums leave them some very colorful feedback.

And guess what? They (Ford) actually listen to them.

If the TCU handles the wi-fi radios. I welcome some updates. The disconnect of Wireless Carplay is CLEARLY to due to 2.4Ghz interference. Every time I drive through this spot Carplay completely disconnects. The faster I go through it the better. If traffic is backed up my radio completely shits itself and the best resolution is to power off your phone and wait till your about a mile past that spot. I grabbed my wife's old Pixel to test and the problem persists with Android Auto as well. If Ford would simply let us make that connection over the 5Ghz radio I'm pretty sure the problem would go away. This is reproducible EVERY time. It also happens further up the 405 about two more spots and a few places along I-15 in Escondido.

I follow several forums for different Ford vehicles. I can tell you with certainty that this is a thing that many people have reported while driving through certain areas.

Ford just doesn’t have a good track record with software updates.

Fixed.

Also, the fact that this update changed the font and size on the exterior temp on the HMI is hilarious to me.

I have the exact same phone - the only occasional issue I have is when playing music thru Pandora. Sometimes the song pauses, but I think that is coming from my phone. I have no proof its the phone, just a gut feeling. Having said that there sure are plenty of owners who have synch issues

Pixel 8 with I think the same issue, is it playing the song but no audio? It does it in mine with Pandora and Amazon, never with any external BT speaker or device. Only fix I've found is bounce it back to audio/FM and play a station then go back to AA.

Edit ... Just checked, my last update was 6/27 but didn't have this issue when it was delivered so it's sync or the phone or the apps or frequency or atmospheric disturbances or aliens ... Who knows!

 

[huey]

sounds like it might be the same. I will check my last update later and let you know

Since Ford doesn’t clearly say how it improves things for me. I can only assume it is for the benefit of Ford. You know, selling info. Tracking kind of stuff.

Exactly!!

Is there a list of updates for the different modules and their “fixes”?

No. Ford doesn't exactly release change logs for updates. It's usually just a very generic description of what they're doing.

Maybe Ford can simplify their Change Logs.

"Welcome to Ford Power Up Update 6.3.1
Change Log: We decided to fuck up what we FORGOT to fuck up with the last update. Thanks for being a loyal member of the Ford Family and we look forward to pissing you off with our next update."

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Bronco concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info?

I keep track of all OTA's for the ICE F150's on the F150 sister forum to this one and there is another guy on the Mach E forums that tracks OTA's for those cars, but I don't think anyone tracked the ones for these cars. Updates are not exactly the same for these and the F150's, but many of them do line up. Look at the F150 (not the Lightning one) excel sheet on post #1 here to get an idea:

Edit: Click the F150 tab in the bottom and not the 2024 F150 tab.
