Anyone know the Ford SW update URL/DNS name from your (WiFi) Network?

[digitaldad]

I have yet to see one SW update on my truck (since I've owned it, which is fine) but since my truck is "supposed" to check for SW updates at 1AM, daily. I started snooping through my Adguard Home logs to see where/when the truck should be looking.

I've included a snapshot of where the truck's IP is looking/connecting (and when)....however, I never see a timeframe near 1AM (I've seen some at 23:30ish - 11:30PM).

Does any other network snoop know the url/dns name of the actual software update check?

P.S. wonka.ford.com, lol, wth is that?

Check the time frame of when you start the truck {pushing the [START] button, that's when phone home occurs.

It likely uses AT&T telematics connection onboard the truck. Wifi was to be called on for large deployments.

1 am is for installing the package once downloaded and requires inhibit drive conditions

Hmm, thanks for the suggestions - that changes the approach of this ask then. I assumed when you setup wifi (they, Ford) would take advantage of your network, a la Tesla.

I believe the one at the top of my picture was after I went in and acc powered the truck to try to force the SW update time screen. I toggled it on and off.

Like @TaxmanHog says, that Recurring Schedule you are referring to is not when it checks for updates. In my experience it checks whenever started. This is a very common misconception.

There are two types of Updates - "instant" and inhibited. It will download both but for inhibit updates, it will wait until that Update time to install (or you can choose now).

Here is the info screen for Recurring Update Schedule you referred to:

You will see a message like this when an inhibit update has downloaded. Note you can Update Now or Reschedule:

Thanks for these - allowlisted on NextDNS!

Hopefully this helps anyone with a Pi-Hole, Adguard or other DNS resolver.
