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

So maybe it was just one specific BCM update that required a password.

I was told by a service advisor that it’s only updates that involve the immobilizer.

@TJSparky said he had a restricted BCM update applied at the dealer and just saw another one show up on FDRS on Sunday and it, too, was restricted. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/ecu-module-programming-guide-using-fdrs.8249/post-674037

Ya, a newer BCM dropped that requires a username and password again. I’m still trying to get with my bud to get this newer one applied. I’ll post the software part numbers from the first BCM requiring credentials when I get home.

EDITED:
Here is the info after the first update for the BCM that required a username and password with a NATSF login.

I just got this weird update because the description shows it’s for BlueCruise 1.4

Looking in the BlueCriuse 1.4 thread it is an IPMA update (IPMA-24.204.10.9).

However mine shows as a SYNC update (SYNC-25.2.1.6.5).

That's the update that gives you the buttons on the touchscreen; not the actual features themselves. However, you may already have the IPMA software for BC 1.4. Do you have FORScan?

I do have Forscan but I won’t be able to use it until I get home later.

However my truck did not come it’s BlueCruise. It did come with Co Pilot 360 Assist 2.0. Does that mean I might be able to get BlueCruise?

Oh, never mind then. You can disregard the text in the release notes regarding BC. You did get a new APIM update, but the part about BC does not apply to you.

Oh rats no free BC

What does SYNC-25.2.1.6.5 actually improve on? I couldn’t find it in the spreadsheet.

It is a newer APIM update, but you may not notice anything different. Maybe improved carplay/android auto performance? I don't have it yet.

I will add it to the spreadsheet now.

That’s weird. The software version is the same as mine, and I updated mine in Dec. 2023 before the NASTF password lockdown.

Cool just received SYNC-25.2.1.6.5 on my ‘23 XLT. I don’t have the hardware for bluecruise, so I’ll just be happy if it improves some of the intermittent SYNC/Carplay issues.

I also got this one in my '23 XLT this morning. I have Co-Pilot 360 Assist 2.0 as well and have yet to receive the IPMA update either.

Strange wording for this update since it makes it sound like the IPMA update and as far as I can tell, nothing has changed. It doesn't even look like this Sync update changed the `Speed Sign Recognition` slider to `Predictive Speed Assist` so I'm guessing that change is still locked behind the IPMA update?

I also just received this on a 2023 Raptor R...

I just got sync-25.2.1.6.5 yesterday while driving in my Job 1 2021 Lariat Powerboost with the 360 cameras and Bluecruise. Admitidly I had just run through a bunch of the updates manually with FDRS. The release notes leave something to be desired...

It also came with a survey request to my email from ford asking me what I thought about the software. How can I tell you what I think about it if you don't tell me what changed?
