I wonder if this update will finally address the audio issues with SYNC like skipping audio and what not.

One of the updates a while back was an update specifically to improve the updates. That seemed to have potential to spiral out of control into a feedback echo chamber loop where an update would be required to repair the failed update to the update that failed for the update on the update coding and so on and so forth.

I wonder if this one is related in part to the infotainment system recall shenanigans for screen black outs and back up camera fails.

Still driving around in a 2022 Badlands.
Sure would be nice if I didn’t need to plug and unplug the phone 3 or 4 times to get carplay going. (Wired because wireless has never worked)
When that doesn’t work, need to reset the Bronco audio. Usually once or twice a day.
when it does connect, need to toggle to another app and then back to navigation to get full screen. It’s always in full screen mode but starts with a split screen.

Sync sucked in my f150 but this sucks on a new suckier level of suck.

and why must every update change all audio settings back to factory?
not one update in 4 years has fixed a thing.

and the recent climate update made it so I need to use max A/C all of the time.

I love driving my bronco but Ford has no idea what they’re doing when it comes to audio, climate control, removable roof or tech in general

Now your antilock brakes will randomly act up. You know, in preparation for that update.
I hope not!
I did notice my rolling rocks were gone when starting it up and this update then came on. Just the horse.

Here is a question. I have a Sport and a Maverick. Only the Bronco gets updates. Neither of the other 2 mention updates in the app or the car. What makes the Bronco so special?

I was just thinking that when I had my Bronco Sport I can’t recall this many updates.

This OTA is the first of a packet of three that Ford is calling "Software Update 12". Next one will be a TCU and then an APIM that brings Sync up to version 26093. That new Sync is a biggie. It is a whole new OS with new nav files, new voice files and new wifi chip firmware that actually is supposed to address the issues with wireless phone projection with both Android Auto and Carplay. This Sync update will also add the YouTube and Karaoke apps that the newer Ford's are shipping with.

Be prepared.....the Sync update will most likely wipe all user data since it is a new OS. It will not look much different fromt he current one, but it is completely different. My F150 has had it for a few weeks now. I still use a wired connection for my phone, so I can't say if wireless is better, but on the F150, Lightning and Mach E forums, people are saying it is better.

Nice! I noticed this morning that the notifications from text messages on Apple CarPlay were actually working proper. I wonder if that was part of all of this?
