I just called the renewal hotline listed on the Helm website. Interestingly I just launched TorGuard which allows me to appear to be anywhere I want glabally via chosen server. I picked Dallas and now I no longer get the error. It could be my local firewall or possibly something else in the path but when I debugged the webpage last time without TorGuard, it showed the payment gateway was unreachable. I may try to renew in the morning and upgrade my truck since I have the day off.
So I tried my old address it lets me get through to the next page but then when it goes to process it says billing doesn’t match.
that means ford thinks you don’t live in an approved area. Find a buddy who lives in a ford green zone and send him a Venmo to get the license for you.
Thank you. Understood. As soon as it gets warmer outside, I'll try again. It's very cold to work outside right now, and I don't have my own garage.
Take some of the sun from here lol
Hell yea! I see you did all the other updates already, so now it will be a string of many USB updates for the APIM, GWM, TCU and IPC until you are up to date. Once you are done updating, if your BC still doesn't work, let me know.
And another one fixed by just leaving the USB plugged in and being patient!
So my system finally updated! I received a “system updating message” where it says phone list while I was driving. Shortly after arriving at my house, a message popped up saying that the USB drive could now be removed and the details can be uploaded to a computer. Very exciting, I have a revision number under my general settings, however when I first got the truck, it was 243 when I had the flash drive in waiting to update. There was no revision number at all and now it is a lower revision number after the USB update has completed. What are my next steps now? Should I hook the truck back up to FDRS and proceed with the rest of the updates?
What is the sync version you're on terms of the 5 digit number that starts with a 2?
Ok, so you mentioned only the option to rerun them..... so FDRS is still showing another GWM, APIM or TCU update? If so, keep going. These updates are done in a sequence. You don't go from an old version to the newest in one update...... you will need to do several more to be up to date. The enable BC kit thing won't work until you're up to sync 23031 or 23159 if I remember correctly.
