I haven't seen many reports of dealers successfully updating trucks to BC, and I have not seen any success in the DFW area dealers. McKinney at least told me they had one the week before my appointment and it took all week and they were still not successful.
I gave up and did it myself. It...
+1 on this. I used my desktop and a powered USB cord on mine and had no issues. I was even able to work on Friday with FDRS doing its thing in the background.
Here is what I did a few days ago, including links to the various guides and videos:

I took my very first Blue Cruise drive today and it is awesome! I'm not a techy person, but I can research and follow directions. If helpful here is what I did:
Research the hell out of it:
Read at least page 1 of this thread...
Ok I did the clear and retest and those modules turned green and then a new APIM showed up so I ran that.
I have a new sync version and now hands free is an option. I think I’m done, right? You guys rock and helped a non techy person get through this with minimal blood sweat and tears!
Ok, I think I need some help. In the software update, the only thing I have showing is GSM, which I have installed several times.
On the left side the GWM and APIM are both Orange indicating they have CMDTCs detected. What do I do to make them turn green? Screen shots are below.
Also I...
I've made really good progress today and think I am close to being done after 6 hours yesterday and 7 hours so far today.
I need to step away for a bit, but can anyone see how much more I have to go? My VIN is 1FTFW1EDXMFB09093
On my end I see the GSM, which I've read does not always show...
It was asking me to check the ethernet connection. But, I got really really lucky and when I was getting ready to unhook the USB and noticed the screen said "System Updating".
Everything seems to be working and I'm plugging along doing another GWM and APIM now.
Ok, I am trying to finally join the cool kids club. I took the console apart for the module repair which was much easier to do than I expected. The mongoose connected and did fine on the USB portion of the module repair, but kept failing on the ethernet portion. I'm guessing I have a bad...
My automatic updates were turned back on and the screen seemed a bit laggy like it was working on something.
Nothing new per the widget, but something is going on. I scheduled an update for tonight and will see what happens.
You may want to post where in Dallas you live, as there are many on here from the Dallas area. I bought all of my stuff to do the update this week, now I just need to wait until I have the time to update everything late next week. Several on here have offered help if I need, and assume they...
So both of you were stuck on failed update 1.7.1 and automatic updates greyed out for months, and then just magically it downloaded?
Figures, it happens the same week I get my mongoose :)
Has anyone who updated themselves received this? I’m wondering if the campaign notification will go away once updated, or is there something the dealer has to do?
