Disappearing screens

[Dave Glover]

I am certain that a screen about software has disappeared from my 23 Lightning truck. When I bought the truck in July 23 there was a screen that would tell me all the various software licenses I had, what version and when they expired. For instance, Blucruise license was version 1.0 and expired 2075 (way out in the future). After having a major update at my dealer, that screen is now gone. If I try to go to that screen, it tells that info is now online. I went looking for it online and could not find it. I thought update were supposed to improve things, not remove things.
Software over the air updates is a feature I very much looked forward to. It is now become major source of irritation.

OK, I tried that and this is what I get:

"Your vehicle does not feature the technology to receive the type of software updates reported here. "

What the hell does that mean?

It means that Ford Corporate server in Detroit is having a hiccup. I get that very same message at times when I check in... at other times, I get the software release notes for my latest update. No rhyme or reason i can discern...

I checked mine today and got the same message - despite the fact that I was able to get that information the last time I checked a couple of weeks ago. Likely a problem on the server side.

The BC maps no longer expire. It now shows the File name.

Latest File ends in AAV. They were having too many issues with peoples BC not working due to maps not updating.

To see its in the general\ About Sync

yep. my history worked yesterday but today says "you haven't had an update in the past 90 days", which, of course, is not true.

Back to my original problem, never mind what's happing online, what happened the screen in the truck that disappeared with that information?
On another note, I've had that truck since July 2023 and I've only seen one over the air update the whole time. Is that normal?
My Bluecruise is still at ver. 1.0 and now 1.4 is out. Will I ever get a newer version? When my truck was new in July 23 I ran into a guy at a charge station with a 2022 Lightning. He had Bluecruise Ver. 1.3 that he said the dealer installed for him. He was telling me how great the automatic lane change was where he could change lanes with just the turn signal. I've been looking forward to that ever since. I asked my dealer to install ver. 1.3 for me and they had no clue, and I would have to wait for the over the air update.

there are dozens of threads on this. there is no rhyme or reason to updates. Got my Lariat in Sept. '23. it wasn't until October that I was caught up with what others have. As far as I know I still have BC 1.0 also. I don't use it but I have never seen an update mention BC.

The consensus of Lightning owners is to not get excited about what you don't have, enjoy what you have. I quit obsessing about it after I got the SOC on the instrument panel!
