Got this from the autoinstall.lst file. Our last update was 12023, anyone know what vehicle 12094 or 12131 was intended for?

It will be very disappointing if we waiting all this time and little has changed!

Not sure I totally follow you here feta. Are you saying that maybe the mess up with your climate screen is not due to the fact that you put a non-Focus update on a Focus but rather a global thing and might be doing the same to the models that this update was listed for as well? That maybe they buried info about it, pulled it, or whatever because within a day or two they realized their "bug fix" update caused a new and glaringly obvious bug?

If that is what you are saying, and more importantly, if it turns out to be true, I am not sure which would be worse - the fact that they missed something so obvious (and as we all have discovered w/3.0.2 they apparently have quite the crack team of beta testers) or the fact that I wouldn't be surprised by it. I am almost, but not totally, willing to go as far as to say that at this point, I would expect it.

Of course this is obviously all speculation and we don't know anything for sure but again, if this is legit and released, why is there no info to be found about it out there?

Hahaha, at first I was like, is he serious? But yeah I know... ridiculous... hopefully that's not the case.

Yeah, I was just kinda goofing around there. Just still trying to find some logic here in the face of an illogical set of circumstances. I mean think about it. mattphoto posted in late-Aug that the dealership told him an update would be available 9/1. For the most part this was true. The dealership probably didn't know it was going to be model-specific but for the most they were correct and one could assume they got that info from Ford. One was released obviously because suss posted a link to it. So if all of this turned out to be correct, why is Ford not letting anyone know? Why doesn't anyone at forums for the applicable models seem to be aware? I'm just having a tough time getting my head around this!

no ones probably mentioned it on SMR because that place has turned into a hangout of boring curmudgeons

Yeah you'd think this would have been a TSB or something and would be a widely released update... pretty odd.

I too downloaded the update but have yet to install it. I think that I will also wait until the official version for ours is released, I'm not overly comfortable with what I'm reading (not that its apparently the end of the earth either).

So it seems that the update is starting to show up for some at SMR and someone started a thread about it over the weekend. They also finally put up my post with the link (the post I submitted several several days ago).

There is also a recent post from the mod over there put up not long ago that reads:

"There is a technical issue with the software update download file on SMR, please do not install. We are working to resolve the issue."
