Ford Power-Up 4.1.3 Video streaming and new games

[Weather Dawg]

Just updated to 4.1.3 last night. Was able to log into YouTube this morning and watch a video via my connected phone.

I received the update on the 31st, however it never showed the changes and said to check the vehicle. However the vehicle says to check later… so I dunno.

Now that I’m fully updated, I noticed this on my Sync screen. It appears to say Bluecruise is active until 6/10/2073. I don’t know if that came in on the dot 2 or 3 update, but I expected Ford to try to sell us a subscription after 3 years.

Nice.

Nice. I'll be 116 years old and the truck will be 50 years old. Come to think of it, I do regularly drive a 70-year-old MG-TD and a 64-year old VW, so not impossible... for the vehicle

Near as I can tell I had 4.1.3 when I took delivery Tuesday(02/07).

There's no need to jailbreak any android product. A quick google search, download, and you're up and running. Theres one screen mirroring app that actually lets you control your phone touchscreen on your OEM unit. My only gripe is that your cell phone screen has to stay on.

But I get it. People like to pay for convenience. Nothing wrong with that. I have an AAWireless box in my Lincoln for that reason.

Hello!

I am really interested in the app you mentioned that could be used like magicbox. Can you tell me the name or point me to the site please? Feel free to DM if you prefer...

Thanks!

Look for the AAstore on GitHub. Then you can install Cartube. You need to unlock it for 5 dollars if you want to login to your YouTube account. I did and it works even while in motion.

You can add custom links for Amazon video and others, but they will only work when parked.

I have been waiting patiently for almost a month now! Any tips on how to force an update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.3?

Stil on Revision 539. Bought the Mongoose, ran all the updates in FDRS, still no new UI. "Your vehicle is up to date." No it isn't. Any other ideas?

Ford isn't pushing all of the updates to all vehicles. It looks like they're leaving some out of the fancy updates for stability issues. I went from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1, no ui upgrade yet.

I went from 3.5.4 to 4.2.1 last week, still no UI update as I am still on 539 for Sync as well. I am on an early delivery build 6/2022 Platinum...

I have the ATT in car plan and wonder why I can't stream using that. It's built into the damn truck. My kids usually use their iPads in the car and connect to the truck's hotspot to watch YouTube and play games.

A bit odd that they can't put YouTube on the smaller screen? I am guessing that even Ford is selling the SR vehicles as local commuters and doesn't expect anyone will be sitting in one at a Level 3 charger. Or are they hiding YouTube behind a multi-thousand dollar paywall to boost margins? I was stuck in a parking lot during game day for an hour, my passenger and I could've used some video entertainment. For everything I love about this truck, there's an equally puzzling omission!

I would love that too , I noticed only lariat and platinum models , smaller screens need love too 🫤please make this happen ford

Yes! The 12” screens need love too! They’re certainly big enough to support video apps. Not sure why Ford didn’t think to include this feature on the 12” trucks.
