Same here. "Refinements, bug fixes" . Wish they would share more information.
As a software developer I usually find that "Refinements, bug fixes" is usually code for:
  • The icon for this one button was off center by 3 pixels. it's been bugging us from the start but didn't have someone working on that particular part of the code until now
  • There was a weird edge case that affected small % of people but if you followed a highly specific set of actions in a specific order it cause something bad to happen
  • Page in the back of the settings 5 levels down, that almost no one uses, would take 1 minute to load now loads 60% faster

These are usually boring fixes, and just generally improve the day to day working of the system.

And in the case of weird edge cases, you don't necessarily want people trying to see if it's broken for them as well. It could be something that causes other issues later which would further degrade the performance or require a reset of the system.

Got my first one, apparently it downloaded and installed somewhere within 15 minutes of me running into the store?

Release notes also say nothing, just "bug fixes and refinements"

I just received another OTA update notification on FordPass this morning. This is my second. Wonder what’s in it.
I also received an update yesterday. That was my first one.

Received my first last night as well. My OTA is setup for Thursday night so that lines up.

Same here. My schedule is set for Wednesdays, so it may have just been a global "push" ??‍♂

I checked my Ford pass app and I do have the OTA notifications but only says that it was performed I can’t tell when and exactly what was done.
Only a generic “we fix the bugs so you don’t have toooooo” ?

Can anyone confirm if the recent update included the CarPlay navigation on the dash?

I did get my second update last night apparently. As usual, zero info given. Don't have CarPlay, but Android Auto seems to be hitting on all 8 cylinders.

I got a notice this morning also....I think its the third one since I picked it up back at the end of March. I wonder if one day a "refinement, bug fix" will be the short delay need on the power running board sensor when you lock the truck using the touchpad on the door handle?? First world problems haunt me.

Same here...received 2nd OTA since getting truck in early March...and still no clue what they did. From everything I've read, still no news on zone lighting issue...so keep it disabled I presume?
