2021+ F150 Power-Up and Priority OTA History Thread

[Tasman]

Thank you to all the people on these forums that are willing to help and provide expertise to all of us that ask for help. I have used these forums to provide education on how to update Bluecruise on my truck. Big thank you to rugedraw for checking my VIN and providing me with the my update listing when I send a DM to him. I just updated my modules and have a couple questions.

as you can see from the above image I have two modules left to update. Question #1 I have updated the ACM multiple times and it keeps coming up that it needs update. your thought please.
Question #2 When I try to update BCM I get a login screen that requires login. Is this something that the dealership needs to do? Here's the login screen I get. Thanks for the help.

ACM not coming off and the BCM requiring a password are both well known concerns. There's nothing we can do about either one.

The ACM issue seems to be a bug. If you’re still under warranty, you can see if you can get the BCM updated at the dealer using a TSB, otherwise it seems to get updated frequently with OTA updates.

Just wanted to report another successful upgrade to BlueCruise 1.4. I took my truck out for a test drive yesterday and I am very pleased with the enhancements. Thanks again to all for the help on these forums. Big thanks to Rugedraw for getting me started with truck VIN lookup and recommendations on buying the Clore PL2320 charger (it worked great) and the FORScan updates. The youtube videos on FDRS install and how to use along with the FORScan install and how to use were excellent. The first entry on FORScan forum (the tutorial) was very helpful, the write up was very detailed and easy to follow and all the links to videos and the latest spreadsheet were excellent. Also, I purchased the one year FORScan License as recommended on these forums.

Thanks again to all for your help.

I have a ‘21 and have not received a “real” update in many months but have had numerous phantom updates recently. Still stuck on 6.3.0. I feel I am way behind. Any chance to run my VIN and possibly shed light on what’s going on with my updates? Much appreciated!

Please remove your VIN from the forum and message it to me.

I got SYNC-25.2.1.6, just a few days after getting the BC 1.4 update on my 2023 Platinum.

Are the 2021 trucks getting any love from the APIM gods? Or we are stuck with 23291 forever?

IMO Nope. I gave up on waiting for OTA to update my modules. I got a 1-year free BlueCruise extension in December and waited 5 months hoping for BC 1.4 and nothing. Got everything for FDRS, did it and now I have BC 1.4 and all my modules are updated. So over OTA crap.

24127 is the latest for the 2021 so far; but I do expect the newer version to be released for the 2021 trucks at some point.

7 months with no updates, but I got 24.204.10.9 yesterday, though my understanding is it makes minimal changes for my truck since I don't have Blue Cruise.

Rugedraw, do your magic crap and make it rain OTAs!

I purchased a used 2024 Platinum 702a in April and the radio wouldn't allow OTA updates. I had to disconnect the batteries and let them drain. After I reconnected them the truck received a couple of TCM and Sync updates. I decided to buy a VNCI cable to update the software on all of the modules. I ran into a few issues and had to borrow a Mongoose cable from @rugedraw to fix the issues.

I noticed that the audio in my 2024 shuts off as soon as I open the door after installing the audio update.
Prior to the update, the audio would play for approximately 5 seconds or so after opening the door.

After installing a few updates with FDRS, my truck received an OTA BCM update that came out in June 2024. After that update installed, FDRS allowed me to install another BCM update using FDRS.

Interesting. You were able to install the BCM update? It didn't ask you for an NFTSA password?

No, sir. It didn’t ask for a password.
