I get over the air updates Al, the time without issue. I’m in Houston, Texas.

I agree fully with your decision on the potential bricking updates. Whether the service department was screwing with your or not, I would not take that chance for an ease of use upgrade.

Same here. Ran some updates in FDRS, and the truck started locking itself (but I haven't found any way to turn it on/off).
Update: I added the WAL toggles in the Sync screen using the Forscan instructions (thanks @Mike G ). I don’t have the BCM update, which probably explains why the toggle wont stay on. The truck seems to lock itself most of the time, but not always. Sometimes I have a key fob with me, sometimes just my phone. Go figure.

Apparently we can go to the dealer and pay $150 to have it done. Is this correct @Ford Motor Company or will we eventually get this feature through OTA?
I have scheduled a dealer visit Monday for a SYNC software safety recall. I’ll ask them about the walk away lock feature.

Thank you for responding.

Update: As near as I can figure, the truck locks itself during scheduled departure preconditioning. I have it set for my morning and evening commute, so most often when I approch the truck it is either preconditioning or just finished. Or someone at work is messing with me (also an option).
