Well you guys were right - I swear I had the latest but nope did not - Sorry and thank you guys!

You do have the latest, but I think that version is bugged from I saw on the Lightning forum.

It may be this version and not the other one I posted. I don't know. It's a shit show right now.

PSA: As per a post from Jesse on the Lightning forum:

If you plan on buying an FDRS license, use a burner email account. Do NOT use the same login info you use for Fordpass. If your account gets banned (whether the reasons are legitimate or not), it will cause problems with any subscriptions you have through your Fordpass account including Bluecruise.

That's great advice!

Awesome. My 2021 is stil on 24127 with nothing else showing. In the case of the other truck, it may be a while. 22293 is followed by 23159, 23291, 24127 and the 25094 which is the latest. His truck may be affected by the attached SSM.

Well I think we all were. I did my updates a few months before that SSA came out. Then you checked my son's right after and he was showing the updates. he lives 3 hours away. He didnt visit for like 2 mths and then that SSM came out and he was on hold whne I finally bought the FDRS lic. well he is just waiting...... Hopefully more of the 2021's get the update for you all soon!!

Hi All, I have a 2021 PB that I'm trying to update from the factory original SYNC (4.0.20262) using FDRS. About 15 modules have a software update showing, but I am starting with the USB AIPM update. After formatting the USB, I followed FDRS'S instructions to leave the USB installed in the idling truck for 3hrs now (also with 20A battery charger engaged). I cannot get the 'leave USB plugged in' message to show up. The USB does seem to be read in immediately when plugging it in with a message being read in at the top left of the screen. Am I missing something obvious here? Thanks!

Step one will require leaving the USB in there for weeks until the apim update decides to take off. This is only the case with the old broken Sync versions like the one you're on. Ok to tell fdrs yes that the update went through and knock out the other module updates. Eventually, when the apim update kicks off, you'll need to get another fdrs license to rest of the APIM, GWM, TCU and IPC updates that will pop up once you get the APIM out of the version it's on now.

Thanks everyone! I'll leave that USB in there and go about my business. I really appreciate all the support.

When you say this: " Ok to tell fdrs yes that the update went through and knock out the other module updates. "

Do you mean that I should tell FDRS that the APIM went through so I can update the TCU and GWM? Will FDRS let me do that?

No, not those. Update all the other ones that don't require the usb. IPMA and PSCM are tied to one another and will take 3 hours to do.

i only notice some of the Sirius xm art work has been updated... this update was different.. i had to install the usb then it loaded like 3 files for removal... had to delete off usb .. then load all new files... the instruction screen also changed to a different design.. also after this update.. you pulled the usb out then let the truck sit 10 minutes.. then turn ignition on to completed the update.
