So I received 6.1 and am usually only a few days behind the rollout. But for 6.2 I hadn’t received it in over a week. So knowing fords inconsistency I went into the truck and found the Wi-Fi was turned off again. Within 48 hours of turning it on I had 6.2 and a few days later had 6.3.

well I'm glad to hear that at least it's not just me!
Don't feel bad, I'm still waiting on 6.1 and I'm sure there are others still waiting a any update at all. I just roll with it now, it'll come in its own time. The only update I was really chomping at the bit to get was the SoC (Chime volume) update. Was very happy when that one came in.

The server at Ford.com (maybe the same server?) is literally the slowest of all web services that I use. I just tried it again. It took a full minute to load the main page, another minute to process my sign-in, and another 2 minutes to load the Dashboard. It is time for Ford to update their 1982 PC with the 80286 processor.
Ford: “What is this new 80286 processor you refer to?” 😂🤣😂🤣

Seriously though, Ford is doing way more OTA’s than Subaru or Ram, or pre-EV Ford’s. It’s not perfect, but is lightyears ahead of what I expected, based on older Fords and the other brands.

You make a really good point. It beats the USB in the truck with it running for an hour for a Sync update. Of course there are both sides of the coin, Tesla leaves them all in the dust. Ford says this will be different for the T3, built and integrated from the ground up. I'll believe it when I see it. If they ever build the T3.

Go to Software update screen and it’ll be on the bottom

FYI, I had this happen on my 6.1 update. Not sure of the reason it didn't complete but same message in my screen. I successfully updated today to 6.1 so it took about 5 days for the updated to retry i guess. I was actually surprised it happened as quickly as it did.

You can't we've discussed this in numerous threads but you probably have not participated in them to date.

Just set up your automatic updates, wifi settings while home and approve a connectivity authorizations, sit back grab a beverage and eventually they will appear.

As they post, keep the notification messages found under Account> Message Center as they roll in, that is the closest you'll get to an update history from your possession forward.

Good call, I checked after you mentioned it and it looks like it’s downloading

Edit: Installed

re: how to see current software revision...
You can't
So this (Jan 4 2023) Sync 4 software version display under vehicle settings does not relate at all to the sw update numbers like 4.2.2.2 or 6.3? (Another example, a later, Jan 19 2023, image shows sw ver 22293_Product rev 610.) I would think the Sync 4 sw version would be bumped at each update?

Some of the updates will change this, but there are many updates that don't affect the Sync 4 (4a) software version number, many different systems get updated though not always changing the version number listed above

Can you please clarify what you mean by "approve a connectivity authorizations"? Just want to make sure I've got everything setup to receive updates. Thanks!

There are a bunch of settings in the Sync screen that should be reviewed, it's covered in my 2022 manual from page 26 forward starting with all the Privacy statements, on page 29 CONNECTED VEHICLE DATA overview, etc.

I'm away from my truck so can't get you snap shots at the moment.

Explore the settings in the truck and review the owners manuals.

Mine don't download at home, only when away. I'm seeing tonight if keeping the keys farther away will help.

That has been the case for me as well, but some say it helps to have the wifi configured.
