Because 3.4.21194 is Ford's official latest current stable build; I went through this with IVT as well with my 2023. Version 3.4.2251 was released in January, but then had to be taken back off line again because it was causing serious problems "in some vehicles". I was just curious as to why...

Huh, I thought that was just Windows 11 again....

Well, as a Senior Forensic and Detection Analyst, CISSP, CISM and ancient CCNE on the world's largest Global Enterprise Network I'm pretty sure this is in my wheelhouse. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

As retired AF/DoD cybersecurity professional that helped develop the original NIST SP 800-171 standards, I find your remarks to be more than a little presumptive. You are declaring this to be NOT a critical issue at all in your "professional opinion". Personally, I would never presume to make...

Vandyland, one of the best kept secrets in the AF.

John, its apparently a Texas Instrument driver problem, not a hardware issue. "Tracked as CVE-2023-29468, the bug impacts the Texas Instruments-supplied Wi-Fi driver used in the infotainment system of at least a dozen vehicles." And the author in Bleeping Computers didn't get it entirely right...

Wait! Where's the 8 track????

That's apparently one of the less serious bugs people are encountering. If Cyan Labs is warning people off that version, I'll wait until they can push an official version that works out the door. :\

ADC, ESC, SAC, AFIO

Well, this is the response I got from Ford IVT. "Thank you for verifying your mailing address. According to the engineers, the 22251 update was pulled from the Ford.com website and the cloud due to recent reports that users were experiencing serious bugs within the software. There is a new...

That's good! But according to Ford IVT, the reason they snatched the 3.4.22251 update away so fast was because it was causing "serious issues in some vehicles." Which vehicles, and what issues they declined to clarify. I do know some Bronco Sports have had big issues and its big enough that...

I feel your pain Phantom. Which software update broke your system? Fortunately, or not, mine came broke from the factory and I've already laid the Lemon Law option on the table since Ford advertises Sync as being an "important and integral part of new Ford vehicles." I'd actually rather they...

Yeah, I'm just waiting to see what Ford hiring Peter Stern away from Apple to lead a newly created division focused on developing and marketing software-enabled customer experiences is actually going to mean. Are we going the Tesla route and doing subscriptions for heated seats? I know with...

That's because its a 2016 which is a Sync 3.0 vehicle, my 2019 Explorer is exactly the same version, even though 2020 Explorers are Sync 3.4 but use the exact same APIM. Version 3.0.20204 is the official Ford stable release for Sync 3 ver 3.0 vehicles. For Sync 3.4 vehicles, Sync 3.4.21194...

Most likely does, I'm just giving you Ford Motor Company's official stance. As I said, I've been fighting with them for months over a potentially defective Sync system. Mine shipped from the factory with out of date software, which no one at Ford can explain, yet Ford's servers insisted that...

Actually, I started with B-57s.

Actually, Sync 3.4.21194 is the ONLY current official Ford stable version; believe me I've been going through this with Ford for months now. They did release 3.4.22251 in January, but then figured out that it was not ready for Prime Time and was causing serious problems for some vehicles so...

Doc, was the FE Douglas Grant?

You are correct, its the actual connection to your home router wireless; the hotspot was for connecting to AT&T cell towers and required a separate subscription. Also, Ford mentions in the vulnerability announcement "customers who are concerned about the vulnerability can simply turn off the...

76 are still flying, all the remaining H models. And the youngest one shares the exact same birthday as me. And they're planning on flying them until they're 100, pretty amazing aircraft.
