ECU module programming guide using FDRS

I'm now on 23031 rev 713. There's another GWM update.

It was a VERY quick update for me, but then another TCU popped up

Yeah.. that is correct.

I’m like a kid in a candy store with all these updates! It’s enjoyable to see OTA working.

Can you run a PMI on your Gateway. When it asks if the original module is installed select no.

I want to verify the correct gateway ESN is reflected on Fords side

After the GWM update this is what I show for my FDRS. I've tried to do this audio update several times, but it tells me that the software is up-to-date.

I just got my 4.2.2 OTA update. I guess my battery isn’t a teed after all lol. Glad I don’t have to donate ford another $50 right now.

That’s the update (the TCU) going out OTA to ‘22s and ‘23s as 4.2.4. It hasn’t been released yet to ‘21s, at least not on FDRS.

THis is only for adding a subwoofer

Ah. Thanks.

Ah. Thanks.

I thought the subwoofer upgrade was a different tool. It’s under Programmable Features and is entitled ACM - Sound System Upgrade. The tool you’re seeing is under SW Updates and it’s entitled ACM - Audio Front Control Module (ACM) Software Update. It might be something different. If it’s the latter, it’s a broken software tool. We’ve seen the same thing periodically with other tools, like the GSM and the ABS, which wouldn’t install and clear no matter how many times you tried to apply it. Took Ford months to fix them. Either way, there’s nothing further for you to do right now.

I wanted to report, I made a bunch of as-built changes on Friday the 20th, then I did all of my FDRS module updates on Saturday the 21st. AFTER completing all of the module updates, I went back to update the as-built changes for the modules that were updated in FDRS, but doing the module updates did not revert the as-builts to their stock values. Has anyone else experienced this?

It is normal for the truck automatically to self-report configuration changes to the server and be preserved in the as-built data. It can’t be triggered manually and it’s unknown how long it will take. This was pretty fast. You are fortunate.

Anything noticeable for these APIM updates? I'm pretty happy with fullscreen Carplay so just wondering if it's worth the $50 to get up to date.

One of the first things that I noticed is that in "dark" mode (night time) Ford did away with all of the deep godawful blue and most of the display is a dark grey/black now which, IMO, is a MUCH better look. That alone for me may have been worth the $50. But I did a total of 9 updates yesterday, so it was an easy decision for me
