While I have my updates scheduled for midnight, I have gotten 3.5.3 (last week) and 3.5.4 (today) after driving during the day. Being retired I only drive a few times a week and charge even less so and I think the 12V Battery is likely below the magical threshold most of the time.

Curious if anyone has updates scheduled for middle of the night and actually get them then??
I also received these after a drive during the day. There are a couple of levels of updates. Some can apply with no impact (like these) and others must have the truck parked and out of commission. I don't know that we've had one of the latter types yet.

Trying to track through how people are getting updates here... but I am still stuck on an older version of the software. I've got auto updates scheduled for 2:30am every day and still getting nothing. Any suggestions?

Drive it once in awhile to keep the 12V battery charged is what I’m hearing and hope for the best. I’m waiting for 3.5.4 myself.
The real solution, expensive tho, is to pay for FDRS and do manual updates. $110 for a cheapo device + $50 for a 2 day sub. I think it was $300-500 for a year sub.

Be careful with that $110 cheapo device. You need to go read the thread on the sister forum updating ECU. There is at least one module the cheapo device can brick. It's good for most everything else, so just be careful. If I could get a sure thing device for $110 mine would have already been updated. The Mongoose is over $500 these days however.

I've noticed the 24 hour clock mode is holding the past couple of days!
Awesome! But unfortunately My 1 week old lightning platinum clock still won’t hold the 24 hour setting.

Unfortunately my observation was premature, my trucks 24 hour mode comes and goes at will.

I bought a dealer demo XLT ER on Monday and haven't received any yet. 3.5.2 was attempted to be sent back in September, nothing since.

I had a Mach E that probably got 4-5 updates in 8 months.

I got my Lightning in mid Nov, had 1 update 12/5, to 3.5.2.
I have it set to auto-update at 0200 daily.
I just started parking in a different part of the parking lot this week, and 2 days ago, got 3.5.3. Nice. Just now, at 2215, I got 3.5.4. Funny that just parking in a different spot is magic.

Finally off 3.5.2 and onto 3.5.4 as of this week. 2022 SR Sync4.

Noticed if I have my personal cellphone connected via Android Auto my work phone does not stay connected.

2 phones connected simultaneously only works if ONLY on bluetooth without Android Auto?
