Lost start up screen UPDATE: Fixed with rolling rocks

[RedRider]

My 3 day old Bronco that needed a brand new battery would like to have a talk with you.

If I remember your posts right, that's 3 days of ownership, not age. It was built in December 2023 and sat on the lot with 0 miles until you purchased in August 2024, right? Sitting for that long is no bueno for a battery, so it's no surprise the dealer replaced it for you.

@Ducati1098 I no longer have the rolling rocks either, just a blue screen and a (white?) Bronco logo in the middle on startup. Should I take this in for a check based on Oldred57's having the two modules replaced? I'm not that worried about the animation, but wondering about warrantying the modules if there's something wrong.

Wife's 23 WT now just has the white bronco. Not sure about mine because it's been in the shop for almost 2 weeks now trying to fix the side mirror cameras for the 4th time.

Just want to point out here that replacing the APIM may restore the rock start screen because it’s running old software but eventually it will update again. Just something to be aware of

Got ahead of them and turned updates off. I’m sure I’ll lose it eventually but I’ll hold out as long as I can. I’d be content with 2 knobs and a needle personally but for now I’m happy with my rocks and working compass.

I just bought a new Raptor and it's safe to say I will not be turning on auto updates so that Ford doesnt make my new truck WORSE over time

My '21 Bronco has also lost its rolling rocks startup, replaced by a blue screen with a silver bronco. Super lame by comparison.

When I got my 24 in August it always had the bronco come up on the infotainment screen. The mountain animation is on my dash gauge screen when I open the door.

^ this.
My ‘23 BL had the rolling rock startup. The ‘24 never did. Came out of the box with the new silhouette Bronco start up.

I don’t think it’s any kind of a module/memory problem but just the new start up and it comes through with the updates.
