ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[dolsen]

I used Canada this morning and It works, I updated my Sync software so i now have full screen car play on my 12" screen i have XLT model are the other updates worth doing ? anything major in the updates my truck was build 8/22

Be careful using the Canadian version, your command prompts will start throwing a lot of "eh" in there, and have a thick Canadian accent

I updated my truck a while back with FDRS. Any chance someone could check my VIN for any new updates? 1FTFW1RG7MFC16817

Thank you!

FDRS has been down for me all day - login screen won't ever appear. Anyone else having this issue?

I confirmed that the issue is on Ford's side:

"FDRS Help

• Non-Dealer/Aftermarket Users may see a white screen after logging in. The team is aware and working toward a solution."

Great to see it in action on that truck. Rumors for MachE - no reason it shouldn't apply to ICE and Lightning trucks.

Looks awesome. Wish Ford would take the time to make it work on Raptors. I don’t really understand the whole “it can’t work with the off-road tech” thing.

FDRS Canada edition just keeps saying "Sorry, Eh!"

Can someone remind me/re-educate me on why it doesn't work currently on Raptors?? Most appear to have the CMR cameras in the cab, but only 4 versus 6 front parking sensors, and I image they are lacking the front bliss sensors, but that is just a guess.

I don't know the technical reasons on 22 and up models, but I know of a 21 Raptor that BC works 100% on no problems. Granted there was some tinkering done with the software to make it work, but AFAIK no hardware was installed for it to work.

Exactly...the '21 Raptors were supposed to be BC capable but it got turned off. There is a TSB or SSM about it in the system somewhere. The decision was made (for whatever reason) that it wasn't going to be enabled.

It is far from satisfactory, but this is Ford’s official explanation:

REASON FOR THIS ACTION
Ford’s advanced BlueCruise hands-free driving technology has started rolling out to a wide variety of customers, beginning with more than 50,000 F-150 and Mustang Mach-E vehicles already equipped with the feature produced at our plants starting last July. Ford knows Raptor truck customers want the best of everything, which is why we delivered our most off-road capable version of the truck ever with plans to combine it with BlueCruise for breakthrough hands-free, on-road driving.
We found in the final stages of software development that this specific implementation does not meet Ford and our customers’ highest standards when combined with the purpose-built off-road suspension and capability that our Raptor truck customers expect. As a result, Ford will refund customers the $795 hardware prep kit price and make new customers aware they are not being charged for the feature.
