The average consumer would never go through all of this. Ford needs to fix this process.I was offered the update around 8 pm last night, but it failed.

Mine has always been center heavy, I look forward to checking this out tonight.This update was different for me. I got a message on my screen about 24hrs in advance letting me know I was going to receive a software update at a scheduled time. In my case at 1am. I got the message every time I started her up. The software updated without a hitch. And from what I could tell, it has made my Lariatās stereo sound significantly better. Less center channel, more refined treble from the front tweeters. Better overall sound. No complaints.
I thought an inhibit update required all doors and frunk to be closed. Did you have frunk open when powering with Clore?And during the whole manual download/update process, the PL6100 was powered on and set to maintain 13.5V across the jump points in the frunk. This is also the first time I've tried a completely manual update and used the PL6100 while doing so.
Does anyone see anything obviously wrong in what I'm doing,
Install aberrations happen, I've had a couple over the past 2 years, you're probably ok, enjoy the trip.This is the first audio update Iāve gotten; bought a 23 lariat er in April of this year
Havenāt noticed a major audio update, however upon receiving it my front power train stopped working and I was down to 56% power. So major panic attack- taking my first family road trip in 2 days
It seems likes itās back on now (an hour or so later) so who tf knows
I thought about that in hooking up the power supply and didn't see any info in a cursory search on the forum whether the AUD update required going into Inhibit Mode. I thought perhaps if Inhibit Mode were required, I'd either get an admonition flashed on the screen in advance as happens with scheduled automatic updates, or I'd get a failed update advice as we used to indicating a prior process (or whatever the language was) had interfered with the update. Instead, I just got "! Not Completed" - not very helpful feedback. Perhaps my mistake was turning the vehicle off while the download was occurring. Maybe to get the advance notice to turn everything off, exit the vehicle, close all the doors, etc., the vehicle has to be on? (or in automatic update mode?).I thought an inhibit update required all doors and frunk to be closed. Did you have frunk open when powering with Clore?

Does the frunk of the Ford F-150 Lightning need to be closed for OTA updates that go into Inhibit Mode?
Copilot
For Over-The-Air (OTA) updates on the Ford F-150 Lightning, the following conditions generally need to be met [3] [5]:
While it's not explicitly mentioned whether the frunk needs to be closed, it's reasonable to assume that it should be, as the guidelines specify that all doors should be closed. If you're having trouble with OTA updates, some users have found success by starting the truck in the FordPass app and driving it [1]. However, please refer to the official Ford guidelines or contact Ford support for the most accurate information.
- Your vehicle is stopped and parked.
- Your parking brake is set.
- The update is scheduled for before or after 12 a.m. (not exactly 12 a.m.).
- Your vehicle's ignition is off.
- All your doors are closed.

Yeah this is the second time Iāve had it happen .Install aberrations happen, I've had a couple over the past 2 years, you're probably ok, enjoy the trip.
Not needed for an OTA for EV's. Updates that require the vehicle to be inhibited will draw juice from the HVB to the LVB during the update. In most cases, the LVB has a higher SoC after the update than before it. Not the case with the ICE vehicles and not sure if the hybrids do it, but the EV's do.I thought about that in hooking up the power supply and didn't see any info in a cursory search on the forum whether the AUD update required going into Inhibit Mode.

@rugedraw and/or @Mike G, what's your advice on whether the frunk can remain open for OTA updates that require Inhibit Mode or when programming the truck with FDRS?
Here's what Microsoft Copilot AI says about the requirement the frunk be closed (it draws heavily from online postings on this and other forums and typically does a reasonable job of summarizing and inferring from various posts):
