Yeah, you'll have to start over. Also need another license. Also a good suggestion to try a usb 3.0 cable before trying another computer. I was using a 2.0 cable on my attempts.
I had this exact issue with my laptop. It was a computer related issue. Maybe a usb driver thing? I resolved it by using my desktop. Do you have a different computer you could try?
I just bought the comma3x for my 2021 XLT. I'm super pumped to get it all connected. I have a question. Since I don't have a 3d printer, could I pay someone on here to print me one of those sliding mounts and mail it to me?
I just want to document that neither the CAN programming or the PMI worked for me. I ended up messaging Jesse and he had to remote into my computer and correct it for me.
Working through the rest of the updates now!
Just note that I'm not recommending it. It's tricky and you only get 15 tries before it blocks your APIM from future updates and will require you to replace it, so there is some risk to it. I got to 10 tries before I tried a different computer and had it take. I was very nervous while watching...
I just got through this problem. I'm sorry you're having to deal with it too. I did the procedure here https://www.tsbsearch.com/Ford/22-2150. After this, the usb read and my truck updated. Now stuck on the TCU update already installed problem.
Edit: Here is a youtube video that helped me:
Thank you so much! Is it worth trying the CAN programming process? I'm currently at that screen after another "USB update already installed" message.
Also, just curious, what does a PMI do?
I'm having this same issue. How does one do a PMI on the tcu? I'm very new to this and just trying to get everything updated after no help from the dealership.
I would really appreciate any help!
