Just an update for yall , on update number 6 for apim and I think this is the one that will allow full screen this one has been the longest one yet ! Slowly but surely getting all my features back. Ford pass is working now as well as the updates are now showing on ford pass at first it wasn’t but after 2 updates today through fdrs the updates on app started showing so we are getting somewhere ! My advice either pay for the fdrs I lucked out and my buddy owns a shop that uses it so here I am lol. Ford dealer wasn’t any help. And the one that could help wanted $350.

So I bought my truck earlier this yr and was getting notifications about turning on update schedule, but it was on. I got that sorted out but pretty sure that my truck hasn't got an update in a long time. Truck was imported from Canada.

Are you able to connect to Fordpass?

Yeah, shows auto updates are on
If that is the case, the connectivity is working. Because your truck is on an old Sync version, you may be affected by the attached SSM where Ford is holding off on releasing Sync module updates for certain vehicles.

well...i got everything updated on my 21 F150, except the APIM. I have the USB made but come to find out ford took the Module update repair option away so as far as I can tell I am stuck.

You have to leave the USB in there until the updated kicks off. It could literally take 3-4 weeks or longer. Just leave the USB in there and drive your truck normally. One day when you least expect, it will kick off and when it does, follow the on screen instructions. Once that happens, you can get another FDRS license and update the truck further.

Haven’t had any updates in a long time … wondering if you might be able to provide any suggestions from what you see?

Thanks!

You have been sent a GWM many times and it times out and fails to install. Did you just buy this truck, or have you been the owner for a while?

I’ve been the owner since May 2024
When you check for updates, what do you see in the touchscreen? Does it actually check for updates, or does it stay hanging on that screen with the spinning pinwheel in the middle?
