Hah. No worries, happy to help. The climate one is very unique to a subset of Rangers. Feeling special? The other stuff, at this point, seems to be a combination of the MY20 updates getting fixed, along with some maintenance activity. So, hopefully those will switch back on in the next few days once it's all cleared up.
Hey, an idea where the as built line is for the turn signal count? Or know anyone that may be able to figure it out? I've looked and asked in many forums and groups related to Forscan without success.

I tried to follow the thread but may have missed what the common issue was for the climate control glitch. Would you mind giving the details for the subset that would be affected? Sorry if I missed it earlier. I have been holding off on the update until that bug was fixed but will go ahead if it is not likely to not apply to my vehicle.

How did you get it wifi or usb?
The last half-dozen or more pages are talking about this. It dropped last week for USB updates, but there have been issues which current speculation is that the downloads are currently down while they sort them out, but that's unclear yet.

Primarily the fact that the climate controls UI are gone now after updating. (This seems hit/miss, but it appears that more here are having the issue than not.)

Secondarily:
SYNC takes longer to startup.
The backup camera resolution has dropped.
The mic volume with iOS devices is severely decreased.

Some subset has a bit set in the as built for Climate Off. There was a bug in v3.3 that it ignored this. Now that v3.4 is reading it correctly, the screen is being removed though voice commands remain (controlled via a different bit for Auto climate type). The only way to know if you'll be impacted is to check your as built data for the specific byte. If it's 0x80 you'll lose the Climate UI, if it's 0x00 you'll keep it.

Yes, they addressed the MY20 download being incomplete, and there is maintenance ongoing. Might be a few before everything, for everyone, is available again.

USB.

I was one of the lucky ones as I have no issues with climate controls missing or camera resolution.

It does seem a bit slower to start up but once running is snappier than 3.3.

I haven't noticed any mic issues with iOS.

I just did the update using files I downloaded last week when it was first made available.
I've got a '19 Lariat with Nav, which I previously updated to an earlier 3.4 build using non-official Ford methods. I also previously enabled climate controls (including the heated seats controls) in sync using Forscan.

1) Update went smoothly. Did not need to update voice files, as that was already done with prior non-official update. Process took 10-15 minutes or so.
2) Climate controls are still there, including heated seats.
3) System feels snappier, and connects to my iPhone via bluetooth more quickly on first startup.
4) The rearview camera looks like trash now. Very noticeable degradation in resolution. :-(

The rear camera resolution change is my only gripe so far.

Have you tested it using the voice memo app on the phone? If its working like normal there and nice and loud, could you please post your model phone and if possible, your iOS version?

Nope, mine's pretty quiet.
