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.
