Update happened yesterday for me. I can't vouch for the Bluetooth issues as of yet, but the super slow / stuttering channel changes for media are fixed for me.

I’m wondering if you need to be in a GOOD AT&T cell coverage area to get this OTA. No you don’t have to have a data package active but I believe they’re pushing it over the cell towers. For myself I live in an area where I had to switch from at&t after 20 years with them due little to no at&t coverage. If that’s the case some of us are going to be screwed for this update without dealership intervention.
Did online navigation work?

Honestly, I didn't check. I had just come home from Costa Rica and was ready to crash after food. I'll report back on this part tomorrow.

I’ve read that others are getting the online search in nav about a week after getting the OTA.
Hoe about voice command for nav the only trouble I have is online nav and voice nav
Thanks

Spent almost the entire day in the truck in and out of it and no notice today.
Nothing here 400 miles this weekend

I apologize if this is a dumb question but does the truck need to be driven to get the prompt for the update or would it still appear if you just started it to check?
I am in a very good att coverage area and I have no received the update. I also have the in car wifi purchased. I drove around today and did not get any prompts.

Hate to be a downer here - but if the maps are still 2017 - who cares about online search?
I think I may have "looked at" the factory NAV ONCE (hit the button BY ACCIDENT). Android or Apple Carplay - Google Maps (satellite view) on top, Music on bottom.
Google maps uses GOOGLE for voice searches (has worked perfect since DAY ONE) - gives more accurate traffic (creepy, but everyone with a mobile connected to google gets movements tracked for traffic). While it may be problematic for areas with no cell signal - I have CoPilot with Offline Maps (that actually DO GET UPDATED).
The update (that got pushed down for me last weekend) did seem to solve a couple of other issues - until they update the internal maps on the factory NAV, it's nearly useless anyways. Especially in areas undergoing rapid growth (like all the new construction here in South Florida). What good is "online search", when the installed map doesn't even have the street (that was built subsequent to 2017) in it's database?
Since the base operating system for most factory (and aftermarket) in-dash systems is ANDROID ANYWAYS - why couldn't manufacturers just leverage (or license) Google Maps and be done with it? (Apple Maps has gotten slightly better, but you still might end up in the Gobi Desert, while trying to get to the Dominoes PIzza down the block).
My $.02
Again - the update seems to have resolved a couple of issues - but the factory Nav really fell short for me - especially in a $70K, fully loaded Limited...
