Somewhere in this thread a member mentioned that Ford limits the downloads. I don't leave the ACC on. I just wake it up by turning it to ACC and back to off. I then check for updates and it starts to download a file. I come back later and repeat the process. I've done it IIRC 8 times now. There might be a better, faster way but this seems to be working for me. The good thing is everything seemed to be working when I used the truck yesterday.
Yup, that's what I've been doing... I have a low-amp battery charger connected as well just so I don't draw the battery down too much... I think I'm on day 5 now lol
There you go. I learned something today. I'm going to give it a shot.
Hey thanks...I'll try that.
Another member corrected me. I can wake up the radio by only pushing the radio power button. I didn't need the key at all (I have an XLT.) I just tried it and it worked.
I'm up to the ***9000 update. I keep losing access to Sirius on half of my trips now.
Then that may be the difference...I have the Lariat with the start button.
These things should not be that hard. The Ranger may be a great truck, but only as good as the maintenance. This is a disappointment. How hard can it be to allow for WiFi upgrades. These are the things that I look for when I rebuy.
I don't disagree. The USB option is how I finally finished it, but I had to jump through a few hoops. Having the car running for over an hour isn't ideal, particularly if like me the engine isn't broken in yet. And, having to restart the ACC everything 30 minutes using wifi is weak, to say the least.
That is exactly my point.
The barbarians aren’t at the gate. Try decaf.
Yeah, it won't keep me from buying another, but it's still a shame. But, I work in IT and can handle it. Those less tech savvy I'm sure would find it challenging. But, then again, perhaps they wouldn't even be worried to upgrade at all.
