Is this working again? Curious what you're up to...

lol I'm not up to anything. I have PTS, so I don't need it. I was sharing it with the MME guys due to a convo I was having there yesterday, but I didn't know at the time that this no longer worked.

Referred here from another forum. Going to dealer tomorrow, would someone be able to pull my OTA history please?

APIM OTA has been sent many times to this truck and failed every time. This should be more than enough to get them to do it for you.

Man, thank you so much, will take this with me and see if I can convince them to look at it

That's the update that gives you full-screen carplay/android auto capability. Good luck.

It does. Here you go.

I think they finally figured out the headlight DTC problems and found a connector up in the dash that had a damaged pin making poor connections when it got cold. Are you able to check FDRS and make sure they calibrated the headlights? I appreciate the help!

Just shows a network scan and a pin-point test to diagnose the issues. Not sure if the headlights themselves need to be calibrated, tbh.

Appreciate it! They replaced one of them and then never leveled it so everything was off. Wasn't sure if they had to use FDRS and calibrate the replacement unit or not.

Wow, hard to believe all your crazy headlight mess is a bad pin. ?

Just out of curiosity what is "artifact retrieval"?

I'll find out in the next couple of days to see if the problem is gone. It only happens when it is cold at night with temps below 60 degrees or so which makes it hard to troubleshoot.

I think the "artifact" is referring to the files it is trying to pull from the servers for the update. That's json talk most likely so it's just transcribed into a way that we can read it.

I sincerely hope that this issue has finally been resolved for you! I know it's been a frustrating problem for a long time. I've silently been following your posts and waiting for some good news, so that you can get back to enjoying your truck. ?

@rugedraw when you get a chance can you let me know what updates I have pending in FDRS?

VIN: 1FTFW1E82MFA69028

I’m trying to get the bed camera IOD card to display properly and it’s just blank so I suspect it’s a module on too low of a firmware version.

Thanks again.

Definitely ready to not drive this death trap they call a service loaner anymore and get back into my truck after 87 days.
