I was thinking yesterday, how much I wish Ford had been more like a "software" company for this issue. For example, I bought one of the new standalone Mac keyboards with Touch ID to pair with my M1 MacBook Air. (I run it in the clamshell mode connected to an external display.) My security...

With my "old" 20282 USB stick in hand in case I need to downgrade back, I decided to put on my pirate hat and give 21194 a try. So far, so good. Have only had about 4-5 key starts but in every case TL is up and running in a minute or so and overall things seem far smoother than previous...

This is most likely not a hardware failure. Since you can back down to a build prior to 21020 and everything works perfectly, is pretty clearly a software issue. Ken

Need some help from fellow owners. The charging mat on our ST works perfectly with my wife's iPhone XR while the phone is in a nice case (Pritaka). The case is a carbon-fiber like material with a rubber bumper all the way around. Works perfectly. On the other hand ... and this is my...

Well, I've been complaining a lot on social media and tried some emails direct to "senior management" concerning this mess and the loss of TravelLink (TL). Had a nice phone call today with a lady in the head office who understood our frustration with the TL issue non-resolution. Said she'd...

We were there in late May and had a terrific time. My wife doesn't drive much so I got to take in the extra runs everywhere!! Good thing ... on the autocross, I dropped 14 full seconds between run number 1 and number 6!! #6 was a fairly respectable 34 seconds!! Top time in our group was...

FWIW - I created a post on Ford's FaceBook page about this whole mess .. using very nice language, of course. Pointed out that I see this as an issue worth of upper management attention since while a glitch or bug in 21020 may be understandable, issuing 21098 a month later without a fix should...

Plot thickens a bit .. I also called SXM and when the gal asked me for my radio ID, I got this ... Hmmmmmm She tried a refresh after confirming all's well with my account ... no change. I did note that after my initial Master Reset, TL came up, but on subsequent key turns it was gone ...

You're actually subscribed to Sirius XM Travel Link for 5 years for free. You may, or may not depending on your purchase date, still be on the free SXM radio (music). Ken

Thanks!! Let’s hope so!!! Ken

Are you on 21020? If at o, please advise if this updates solves the issues. Thanks! Ken

Please advise if that helps/TL remains operating normally over several days. Thanks!! Ken

UPDATE: Throughout our two week trip with 21020 .. no TravelLink at all. And since a couple of times we ran into weather where the radar would have been a nice perk ... I was not happy!! When I returned home, I sourced 20282 online and I did my own downgrade. Did a master reset first, then...

Taken on our recent road trip ... on our way to Monument Valley in AZ. I think Forest Gump stopped running here! :D Ken

Had our driving day on May 26 in Park City and it was very valuable as well as a ton of fun!! Learned a few things on the trail ride in particular. On the autocross, I knocked 14 seconds off between the first pass and the final one!! They are now running a GoPro like camera in the cars that...

Apparently my rollback either failed, it did an auto update, or the gremlins took over, because last evening as we drove down the freeway, the screen went blank and it rebooted itself. Proudly said an "update had been installed". Back to 21020 and no Travel Link. When I got home and played...

Since most folks post problems .. thought I'd add a bit of positivity. We're getting ready to take off on a two week road trip (starting off with a stop at Park City for the Ford Performance Experience next Wednesday) so we needed an oil change before leaving. I also asked them to look at a...

I've disabled the "Automatic Updates" function for the time being and will give Ford a week or two to sort this out. For now, the updates the dealer did (rollback to 20136) seems to have restored everything to a functional "normal." Ken

UPDATE: Just picked up our ST and they applied TSB 21-2150 (which I can't find online so must be new) ... looks like they downgraded the OS back to 20136, but the maps remained at NA 2 20. Travel link was working OK, as was everything else. We'll see what happens over the next few days, but I...

That’s just a guess. If so, they need to do a much better job!! Our ST is currently at the dealer and some other service. We’ll see what they say!! Ken
