I would keep at least 10 GB of free space when using FDRS.
APIM can be up to 6 or 8 GB if it is replacing all the files. Some updates do or sometimes it is only partial update.
After making 16 GB of space it went through but this time at the end it gave me this message

Door modules I assume that is the change they made now since they have had 3 OTA to address the door modules since 2021. Each one changes something.
OK, so I suppose I can't change it, that sucks.

I know it's not answering your question, but have you tried the window bounce-back procedure in the owner's manual? If that,works, it may negate the need for the question?
This procedure will completely disable the bounce-back. I don't mind the bounce-back, I think it's good to have, I just don't like that now it bounces back almost all the way down.


23291 is current for 12 inch screen trucks, not sure what you have in yours.
Latest version I see is this:
IMG_4651.jpeg

(Which is rev. 1049 or something?). Others can say if there's anything you can do to get it, but I don't believe so.

You will only find a loose correlation between powerup version and sync version. Top-left of an item in tonesto7's GitHub shows the equivalent powerup version when a sync version is mentioned.

I have the 12" screen and my FDRS updates brought my SYNC version to 23159, revision 915, so looks like I am two versions down. Since there are no more updates for my truck, according to FDRS, I am not sure why it does not push 23291.

New to this forum... Bought a 2021 a few months back and realized right away there were some issues with the truck. Took it to my local Ford dealer who charged me a bunch of money only to tell me it's going to cost a few thousand dollars to replace many different modules and my apim... I didn't bite and started my own research reading a lot and thanks for all the info, but there is a lot to dig through. Last week I got my cables and on Friday purchased 2 day FDRS and started my updates.. I got a few to take but had many end with errors. I did however get my APIM.(After many tries and one time leaving me with a black screen for about 30 mins) to now show a sync version rather then a blank and show automatic updates.
But with a few hours remaining on FDRS license, (yes I know it's Sunday as well) I figure I would reach out and see if anyone has some thoughts of what steps to take next to maybe get more updates accomplished... Posted are the SW updates that's will not do anything, they all start to load and then say they had an error.
Sync 20262 is the broken software from 2020. Even with FDRS, chances are, you won't be able to update anything. That's the software that required the APIM being swapped out.

What is the exact error you see when you try to update the APIM? Have you tried to PMI the APIM?

Edit: Try to PMI the APIM. When FDRS asks if it is the original module, select no. You can't make it any worse.

When does your FDRS license expire?

This is not your fault. The issue is on Ford's side. It is not releasing the next GWM you need to be able to continue through the process. You may have to keep my Mongoose a bit longer and get another license. Does your license expire tonight?

I was able to get a 6 GB size download. Transferred to USB and doing the update on the truck. Do i have to leave the truck on for the update or can I turn it off?

Whatever the instructions on either your laptop screen, or truck screen tell you. If it didn't tell you to turn it off, leave it on.

@sbi You will need help from Jesse to be able to progress, but I don't want to bother him now. Update every other module you can in the meantime. If you haven't done the PSCM/IPMA yet, those will take 3 hours so keep that in mind. Don't start either one unless you have the time to see them through.

Edit: Same error I get when trying to update multiple other modules as well..

Not sure what you mean to PMI the APIM..

You won't be able to update anything unless you can find a way to get the APIM to program. Go to the toolbox tab, click the APIM on the HS3 branch on the right to bring up the guided routines for that module. Then click the PMI that pops up on the right.

If it allows the PMI to happen, it will tale many hours. Not sure if you want to try this now; not sure how much time you have before you need to get to bed.
