Power Up-4.1.1 OTA software update released

flyin525 · Dec 14, 2022

Usually I’m last to get an update but just got this eating lunch in my truck today. I just received DTE update yesterday.

Pretty vague but hope it means we will get updates faster!

Ford F-150 Lightning Power Up-4.1.1 OTA software update released image

Just got it too . Did not get the check mark saying an update was installed on the dash and only noticed the update because of a push notification on my phone

My truck had a different beeping tone in the cabin this morning (like from the proximity sensor) then it reverted back to the normal tone. That was odd but i wonder if it’s related to an update?

My truck has been doing the same thing off and on for 2 months. Thankfully most of the time it’s not beeping at me. Hate that noise! But I haven’t been able to narrow it down to me doing any certain thing.

I did get the check mark after a restart . I think Ford should have saved the big change to 4.x.x for the UI update though.

I'm guessing that this is meant to address the large number of aborted updates that were seen with 3.5.5. Mine failed 5 times before it took and I had no idea what I was doing wrong.

My last update was in September to 3.5.2.

Mine is an XLT with the 12" screen, so it's possible the update schedules are not the same for Sync 4 vs 4A.

Same for me. My July built 312A XLT is still running the 3.5.2.

I got this today as well.

My 21 Powerboost randomly changes dings through the day as well as the ol lady’s explorer. I’ve never seen anything like it sometime it’s higher pitches sometimes it’s not. I actually think it’s kinda funny lol

I got this update also today

There could be something to that, but seems Ford is really trying to get all of the trucks leveled and the same software. On the ICE forum (the 12" screen is the biggest they have) their OTA's are the same numbers and many over there had received 3.5.2 and then 3.5.3 was rolling out and then it was paused. Seems you all might be aligned with that release. They were very close to having almost every F150 on the same release number however. Maybe you aren't too far behind.

It makes sense for the user interface to be grouped together. The 15" screen is not just bigger than the 12", it needs completely different software to replace the buttons that I have on the XLT.

However, the stuff under the hood is the same, like the driving characteristics and power management, so those sorts of updates should be more aligned within models. Perhaps those parts happen without any version numbers.

Well........you are not the only one. My 3.6.5 update had issues loading. You will get messages reminding you of the failure and what you can do to prep your vehicle for an OTA update. I called the OTA updates dept and they informed me that my 12V battery could not handle the update because of the power consumption it required for the update. Ford recommended to drive the vehicle for more than 30 min or charge the battery. I have a battery charger, which I connected for couple hours and drove the vehicle around for more than 45 min.
Re initiated the download and it worked.
Do you have a battery charger?
Harbor Freight has them for around $30.
Northern Tools also. Otherwise drive around the town and try again.
Good luck.
