ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[JEB]

I’ll try that. Would it be a bad idea to update other modules while waiting for the APIM USB?

I can’t say for sure. But take a look through the other options. My practice is that if there’s a GWM update, I usually apply that first before proceeding to other modules. One thing you might try is to update everything else you can and then try the APIM again at the end from scratch with a fresh download on a clean drive. It doesn’t sound like it‘s doing anything right now except sitting there waiting to kick off.

I’m fully updated and have Blue Cruise! Huge thanks to all of those helping in this thread. The last gateway and APIM installed from USB super fast. Was expecting a long wait but each was done in probably less than 20 Mins. I didn’t have any other updates available so not sure if that made a difference or not.

Another FDRS success story with the help of a lot of awesome f150gen14.com members! Congrats enjoy your new features. We have all been waiting long enough

Ok so with a 302A, 8 inch cluster, with 360 cams, no BC

I'm at 21281 revision 244 and not seeing anymore updates.

I only have an ACM "update" showing that seems to be for adding a woofer (it asks if adding one) that just fails:

Not sure if it's normal to be stuck here at 244 now or not. But no cams at speed or on the side yet so hopefully not as those were what I was hoping to get ?‍

Anybody tried disabling the double honk with BC updates installed? I don’t want to mess all my work and tons of help from others in this forum.

I had it prior, never removed it. Works fine. All my ForScan changes work fine. I had to renter a few after update.

I don’t have BC, but I received all the same updates with the exception of the driver spy cam. I had no problems with a disabled double honk. That FORScan change is to the BCM. That module was not updated in the last round so it shouldn’t create any conflicts.

 

[Fordphanatic]

I have BC and it works great. The only forscan changes that I made before the BC update was double honk disable, and Bambi mode. I left all my changes before applying updates with FDRS and I don't have any issues.

The only issues that some have had including myself was with FORScan changes to the APIM, IPC & IPMA. That's not to say everyone will have issues but any mods done on those modules should be reverted to avoid any configuration mismatches and/or update failures.

I am thinking you guys have a similar issue to the 12” cluster guys a file mismatch in the cluster update prevents the updates

After my experience and reading here about others, I agree the IPC updates are problematic, and it's on Ford's end and not ours. Some people with complex Forscan changes have had no issues with the IPC, while some with no Forscan changes get their IPC hung. I think it's a problem child for Ford right now.

@Jesse-Infotainment, Is there a way to reinitiate the IPC update? My whole update was over CAN, never an option for USB during the install. It took about 6.5 hrs as most here have been saying to complete. I do not recall any DTC's after update.

I can agree with that... I have not made any FORSCAN changes at all. The last OTA I received was 2.3.0 OTA, then I believe it was a GWM update. Not that long after the GWM OTA that I completed the IPC update.

I’ve had my Powerboost on most of the day waiting for APIM USB to kick. This while I work on the honey-do list and check the screen for the message (no way the wife is going to let me sit in my truck all day and “play around”?)

No luck on the update. Interestingly, however, the PB is on and I still have the power supply hooked up in PS mode and the ICE hasn’t fired since I first turned it on. Guess the supply is good enough to run the systems (lights and HVAC are off)

I am still trying to figure out what the correct files are for the 8”

I need someone with an xlt that has updated all modules to the latest to pull their info and show us

mince I confirm what files are needed I can then decide a path of action.

map if anyone has an xlt 8” that has had all apim updates and gateway updates and their apim is at 22034 please go to fdrs

show us what files are there for you cluster
