Already complaining about a truck he doesn’t even have yet? Good grief. Snakebitten, you are a far nicer guy than I am. Where’s the head shaking in disgust emoji?According to his profile, he doesn't have a 2021 truck yet, although he might and hasn't updated yet, kinda like Ford?
I'd be willing to PayPal him for his 48 hour FRDS license if it would FIX his broken truck and bring him good cheer!
Yes, the APIM settings are messed up. Not the ACC. If “I set it and forget it” it works as expected. The issue arises when you restart your truck and you purposely go to SYNC Settings -> Features -> Cruise Control. That’s when it messes it up. It does not just deactivates the Speed Sign Recognition but the Cruise Control mode itself is messed up (no CC mode is selected):
Yeah, I guess I didn’t completely understand what was happening. But, at least there might be a workaround—set it how you want it once and then don’t look at it again. Only look when you want to make changes, at which point you’ll need to start over.Yes, the APIM settings are messed up. Not the ACC. If “I set it and forget it” it works as expected.

When you tap "Adaptive Cruise Control" it will show that your "Speed Sign Recognition" is deactivated. But if fact, it deactivates this feature right when you enter this menu. So as long as you re-activate it and don’t enter this menu it works!
It seems to me, that the APIM software has a bug, where it does not retain this setting in its EEPROM and when you enter this AAC menu, default values are loaded. I believe this bug was introduced when their developers moved the SSR under AAC menu
That's exactly my philosophy! Set it and forget it! My issue was, that I initially entered this menu each time I started the truck (just to verify if it retained the previous value). Then I learned, that this action actually deactivated already active SSR. So I reactivated it, and I left it alone. I just don't enter this menu section, until Ford developers fix this. And ACC with SSR works just fine!
My truck is the same as yours, Job 1 (1/21 build) with 21146 Rev 145 as latest update. I did the three line change in Forscan here and now have bed/360 and hitch camera at speed. Worth a try before going the FDRS route if the cameras are what you want. I do not think anyone has been able to activate BlueCruise with an FDRS update as it is a subscription item for us Job 1 trucks. Hopefully from Ford soon!
I’m really sorry this isn’t working for you. Before throwing in the towel, there might be two other things you can look into. First, when you say you have tried multiple kinds of flash drives, what do you mean by that? Are you creating new drives directly from FDRS or are you just copying the files from drive to drive? If you are doing the latter, my concern is that you might be missing hidden files on the original drive that essentially make it bootable. I would try making a new drive from scratch from FDRS and if you want to try different drives after creating a new master copy, clone it so you know subsequent copies are exact copies.
By different flash drives I mean different brands, and different sizes (8GB, 16GB, 64GB, 128GB & 256GB) and I even went on a tear when formatting of trying different allocation unit sizes. I made three "master" usb drives directly from FDRS and then only cloned them. The only action I can get is from formatting as FAT32 which throws an error on the truck. I did that just to verify it was actually reading the port.
