You will need a J2534 pass-through interface that connects FDRS to your truck. I used the VXDIAG VCX Nano. Its a cheaper version of more expensive interface but gets the job done! You can read details how to set it up to work with FDRS here.
The APIM update process is rather easy. Connect your...
I did not. Just keep in mind IPMA takes the longest. Up to 3 hours! I would do it the latest. Also, if you update DDM and PDM, you will need to reinitialize the windows open/close logic.

BTW - if you take your truck to the dealer, they will do exactly the same procedure.
Mine says I am at 20262 and is up to date ?!?
Little background here: After lots of troubleshooting I found that my truck failed to download and install the 1.7.1 PowerUp OTA update. My update screen is greyed out and Sync version is not showing up on the screen. I have tried to manually update...
I have been having the exact issues as OP describes. I was driving from Texas to Colorado, and it happened to me at least 3x just on that trip. Windshield sparkling clean, driving on interstate with lane markings perfectly visible, straight road. The Lane Centering deactivated and only way to...
