According to the log, it fixes bugs and annoyances. New features include additional bugs and annoyances.
Maybe they're "enhanced" bugs?

Depending on which version of firmware this is, here is a screen cap from a Discord forum with the changes to the existing firmware 1.8.0

I didn't know we had a Discord server. Do you have a link to that?

Someone earlier said the XL is not able to update to the new version. That is incorrect. Mine updated after a while of waiting and an overnight break. Next morning the radio was frozen for a minute, and rebooted to the new version. No audible confirmation but the version is updated in the settings.

I had a follow up call with Ford Engineering today. They said another radio update is due out in about a month but will mostly be focused on Bluetooth connectivity. Said they continue to work on improvements to AA and CarPlay. They also said it will be a smaller update than 1.8 and should download faster for anyone who had lengthy download times for 1.8 (which was a fairly large file according to them).

Could you tell Ford - that if they cant get something as simple as Carplay or Android Auto working correctly could they just release the firmware as open source.

Ive got a chinese wireless carplay daughterboard / control box installed into my porsche's factory audio system and its almost perfect. this was 3 years ago.

if a couple of dudes in China can make this work - there is zero - zero fucking excuse for Ford not to be able to.

especially when people are complaining about having clocks that dont work right - what the damn shit.

I hope I don't have any of these issues when mine arrives, I am still using a 14 year old flip phone & don't have WIFI. My speakers were purchased at Radio Shack!
Dude, you're a tech wizard to me... I don't own a mobile phone! I have one telephone in my house:

Ford Maverick Radio firmware update! AT&T 100 telephone


I also have Radio Shack speakers! (I have a nice pair of Advents on the "A" channel but my 40-year-old Radio Shacks are on "B")

🤓

(I do have WiFi in the house, though...)

I never went back to try again… after hearing this I might attempt it again.

My radio and GPS are so glitchy I was thinking of trying Bluetooth and using my phone as a GPS.

I parked my truck within range of my house wifi today, connected, and started the download. When I looked later, it seemed to have ended, and I assumed it had failed. When I started it to park it in the usual place, it informed me that the update to 1.8 was sucessful.

Hybrid XL.

GPS? What do you mean?
The Maverick doesn't have GPS navigation.

Will the upgrade fix the clock? That's my only Maverick complaint so far.
Is your clock changing times on its own? I posted about this a few months ago but didnt see anyone else with the same problem.
