I had this happen to me several times and it never did begin to download. Every time I have updated my truck I have had to find a place with a strong cell signal (think 5 bars of 5G) and low surrounding interference, such as a public park, to get it to go. The other side of the equation is Ford's servers seem to be inundated but they seem to be freeing up a bit now - and that is probably why many of us were recently able to get the update to go through.
I'll modify my statement to say "strong data connection". I did mine over wi-fi, 200+Mbps, parked about 6 feet from the router.
Maybe some of you who can't get the update to run can check here:
I'm sitting in my driveway right now, download done, install nearly finished, first real update on my Mav, whole process maybe 15 minutes. I have gig speed internet, practically on top of it.My issues were, unresponsive while using Android Auto, it would take 4-6 tries to get back to the radio so I could change the station, Messenger same thing, Amazon Music wouldn't stop, pause, next, which are bad things because this is very distracting and unsafe.
This update fixed all this and works well sitting in the driveway. I took to the road and everything is now working as it should. Lets hope this continues because that was very frustrating. I also change some settings so when I plug my phone in it doesn't go right to Android Auto right away. I didn't see this setting before and I prefer this. Sometime having everything automatic isn't always the best in my opinion.
BTW the download and install took a very long time. 2 hours or so
Does this offer the option to SAVE radio stations!?! I have 2 engeering degress and write software for a living, but I still can't figure out how the hell I am supposed to save my favorite Radio stations on a Maverick XLT!!Hey everyone, I just wanted to make you all aware of the latest radio software update. I am not sure when it came out, but I usually check for updates a few times a month, so it's definitely recently released. I have only had it installed for a day now. So far everything is working perfectly, no more popping noises in the speakers, random signal loss, and radio signal actually seems to be a lot more stable with less interference. Attached is the pic of the software version after the update completely installed.
I have the same issue! How do you get back to Audio after Apple Car Play is running!!?My issues were, unresponsive while using Android Auto, it would take 4-6 tries to get back to the radio so I could change the station, Messenger same thing, Amazon Music wouldn't stop, pause, next, which are bad things because this is very distracting and unsafe.

Y'all are posting this in the wrong thread. This is a previous update from February. The newest update is G2.2.0.1
For $5 more a month..
I have the basic XLT Lux and it is definitely an upgrade from my ‘18 Huyndai Kona by far (which had a speaker failure under warranty)
Dude, this is the OLD thread from February. See the new, correct thread for the latest update...G2.2.0.1 is what you want.
