Hey 40Grit, may I ask if you have the AT&T internet service enabled? I'm still confused on how the OTA's come across. I've read that there's a cell service that connects to vehicles for such communications, that the manufacturers have worked out with the service providers. I also heard that the vehicles talk to their home wifis. If you don't have AT&T, then that eliminates one of three possible modes.

GM got caught selling all your data. https://www.aboutlawsuits.com/gm-onstar-lawsuit/. Ford hasn't gotten caught... yet. Jeep/Stelantis is in the middle of lawsuits for forcing popup adds you can't make go away into their infotainment systems systems. All of those are going to be similar manufacturer owned cell connections providing that data service.

Check your codes after this latest round of updates. My telematic control unit module now has a permanent code that says it is unprogrammed. Everything seems to work, save for the going back to settings as others have said. Contacted Ford on it and they say reprogramming, replacing or even resetting the module won't remove it and it is nothing to be concerned with. This is absolutely bull**** as their OTA updates are not properly QC tested, ever, despite them saying otherwise. These updates should never cause so many very noticeable and interrupting functionality errors.

I don't mean version of Sync, I mean codes on your modules (errors). The code I am now getting on the Telematic Control Unit Module is U211B that I cannot clear now. Here is a link to Ford's official SSM: Special Service Message 52730 - 2024 Nautilus + Other Models - Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) U211B:51 Stored In The TCU After Software Update Or An OTA - Recalls, TSBs & Warranty - Ford Edge Forum

There's got to be a fix or workaround for this. I've reset every module, gone through all the settings, and even checked my current as-builts on Forscan with my OEM as-builts. Master reset SYNC. I'm stumped. And I do have the TCU error also. This update seems like a dud. If i can get this fixed, i'll definately have auto updates turned off forever.

I don't think sync updates show up in the ford pass app. Mine only shows module updates, and I got a screen pop up about the sync update in the truck. I could be wrong, but I do not see the sync update in my fordpass app right now and I know it's gone through.
Master Reset is under the settings in the center console.
