blockisle9 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Is there any differences in hardware between the different builds in 2011 and the 2012. I'm about ready to buy, I know the software is still flakey I just want to make sure what ever I buy, the new updates will give me the the least amount of troubles. I'm not reading much here about version 3.11? I'm hoping this is ahold thing. If a used one had a bunch of older updates installed (some that might have not been done or took right) do they wipe the whole system? Or do they just keep installing over the old? I know on my home pcs I gave better luck formatting and reinstalling the os. Thanks Lenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they upgrade it's a full reinstall - that's why it's done at the dealer. Any new vehicles built now should have 2.11 and should be stable. They're also doing a total rewrite of the software that should be available sometime next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamss Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Will the re-write come out mid cycle on the 2011's so that some people have it and others don't or will it simply come out when they release the 2013? Will this re-write be able to be loaded into existing 2011 and 202 models? I would think it would be a shaft for us owners to be stuck with a inferior system when Ford is aware of it's flaws, hence the re-write. Just don't wanna be stuck as the lab rat who tested the system so they can make a better one for those who waited does anyone have a 100% confirmation that we will be able to flush our existing system for the new one?

Thanks! It will be backwards compatible because the hardware is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
