They come over the cellular network. There are settings in your Sync4 system that tell it how often to check for updates.

I think my truck just pulled down 3.5.4 in the last day or so. Sync 4. Now everytime I start the truck it goes to the Audio screen even though it was on Nav when I shut the truck off. I looked through the setting today and didn't see any place to set a default startup screen.

Nav search seems to be functioning properly with no additional letters or characters being displayed. But it still is going to the Audio screen every restart.

On the plus side, it now looks like the FordPass App is showing the DEF status in the app for a Sync 4 system. Last year I did a small survey of FTE members who could see their DEF status in the app and only folks with Sync 3 saw it then. Nobody with Sync 4 could see it in the app.

Interesting. My Sync4 reported DEF to Fordpass properly since I picked up the truck. Was on 3.5.1, 3.5.2 and now 3.5.3. I'm trying to force 3.5.4 now.

I went and forced an update earlier and got 3.5.3. I did it again hoping to get 3.5.4 for full screen CarPlay. Now I'm worried I'll get the KIP bug....
Just how does one "force" an update?

I called into sync help and they said there are known issues they're working on to release a fix she didn't know for sure what but hopefully that's all it is

I'm trying again for 3.5.4 for full screen CarPlay. note:, it seems to take 2-3 days for the process to complete. I'm getting the system update icon, but pressing it has no info.

I have the same thing. I put it in reverse and had my wife walk around and the little truck did nothing when the proximity sensors went off so I am clueless as to why it is there. OTOH, if in the 360 mode and you open a door you can get another truck. I think it is some software engineer just trying stuff out.

I renewed the Navigation App yesterday (expired last month) and later in the day i had the long awaited Carplay full screen update and my Navigation was again activated. Problem is Ingot the KIP glitch or bug. It’s essentially worthless to me as I’m not gonna try to use it with that sh^t going on. Anyway, those of ypu that got that bug, have you had it corrected or told what the fix is?

Question for you guys with more experience with Forscan than I. I downloaded Forscan last fall and made the common changes folks are making. I dont recall if it was a 2 month version, 1 year, etc. free trial and need to go back now and reverse the Nav in motion change due to the KIP bug. Before connecting to the truck is there a way to look at Forscan when launched and see if my subscription is still valid? If not how do I renew extended Forscan? Which as I recall I need to make changes.
