Has anybody gotten an update past 5.1.1 today or this week?

Nothing for me so far.. which is unusual for the established pattern the last month or so..

@maad1618 @jjscsix @Flathead40
Still at 5.1.1 I would bet it either pushes out early next week or after the 4th of July weekend. Not good IT practice to push out large changes during a holiday where lots of people are traveling. Last thing you want is to brick someone’s vehicle on a road trip.

Still 5.1.1

Network traffic has been minimal since 5.1.1 - lots of 30+min connections but not a lot of packets back and forth. Memorial day it skipped a week, doesn't explain last week but who knows.

I did notice the apim connected last week (week ago today) as scheduled but didn't have the associated traffic it usually does when it updates.

Seems to be up to something currently, we'll see what it does over next few hours.

Still rolling 5.1.1, no apim connection since that update. I did notice my F150 hasn't had an apim connection since around the same time which makes me think it's server side.

Expedition hasn’t updated past 5.1.1 but my F-150 got updates below a few days ago. Only thing I would like to see is profiles on Sync4a but don’t know if that will ever be available on Expedition. Another thing that I would like to see is to be able to split the screen between the map and radio like the 12” Sync 4 does but I doubt they ever make that enhancement. There’s a lot of wasted space on the 15” screen.

You can't really compare update track to F150s. I have a '21 Lariat with the 12" Sync4 and wife drives the Expo with 4A, having both I prefer the 12" but feel the 15" looks more fitting in the Expo. Updates have gone a long way on the Sync4A IMO. My F150 hasn't gotten an update in probably 4 months, already had approach lighting; Drives me crazy the Expo doesn't just inherent have that feature...I've made comments on that in EAP..

Got 5.1.2 yesterday. Don’t really notice much of anything except now you can have 2 phones connected at once but only for hands free calling not as audio sources which seems pointless. I think this is the latest “power up” for the expeditions for the time being. They could start releasing a bunch of small bug fix updates like they’ve done for the F-150 this year to address known problem areas/ update blue cruise for those that have it.

I just got what I think may be a BC 1.3 related update. TCU-24-2.3.6 - 0 hits online but looking at other models seems to be a very recent release.. Couldn't bring myself to drive to the interstate to find out tonight but the lane assist was noticeably more stable.
