Version 4 has it, even shows as an option in forscan with the latest update, but doesn’t work.

Have you seen V4 in FDRS anywhere? I haven’t had a free weekend to spend the $50 to get a 2 day license but will when I have a free moment to do so.

Another update over the weekend! This one isn't a version update, instead labeled: Priority Update 22-PU1010-SFT-QL

"A minor change so your vehicle can easily install the more intricate updates coming in the future. Ongoing updates like this help ensure that you'll always be driving the best possible version of your Ford Expedition SUV. Enjoy."

The good:
- We've got real updates flowing

The bad:
- It reset the MyView preferences back to the standard four. Not a big issue but annoying.
- Not super obvious what changed or why. But hopefully this is a step closer to the major update to V4.x

When mine did that update the myview dashboard reset, and so did some of the basic center screen settings, like hotspot password, climate controls, etc.

Where do you find that update info?

I'm curious about this as well. I've only been able to find this kind of details in FordPass App messages - not in the vehicle interface itself.

Not easily...

It's listed in the Software Update tab of the settings section of Sync4A when it's downloaded but not yet installed (but doesn't persist beyond install). Once installed you just get the generic no updates/you're on the latest software screen.

On first start after an install is complete you also get a pop up from the top of the screen telling you the update was successful. Clicking details takes you to the software update section and shows the details. Again, I don't think it persists though. If you close out of it without clicking "details" I don't think you can navigate back to it.

Lastly, there's a reference to software versions in the "About Sync" section of settings. I'm not sure if those always tie to the name of the latest update installed though.

This is a long way of saying that the notifications in FordPass are the best.
