ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Jesse-Infotainment]

The adventure begins on my 21 PowerBoost Job 1 Platinum. Truck received PowerUp 2.3.0 in February. I am in EAP but waitlisted.

I work for ALLDATA and asked our diagnostics lead if we had a Mongoose before I ordered one. We didn’t but we had a Ford VCM 2 laying around that I was able to borrow. Even better! Updated the firmware and started the process this morning. So far, so good. Running a MacTools maintainer that will hold voltage at 12.9v and above.

VCM 2 is a great tool.

Thank you for that info. I haven’t had time to do it.

let me know if you have your Blue Cruise date change after the gateway install please

No change in BC available date in APIM after updates and module resets.

Ok. Thank you. I wonder what the update did. Let us know if you notice anything with CarPlay or android auto whichever you use. Thank you!

Hello all, I've been trying to follow most of this thread and others. So my apologies if this issue has already been talked about

Not trying to complain just wanted to bring out my issue to the form to see if anyone else is experienced the same issue

Since I got my truck last August it was running POWER UP 1.4. Early February it went from 1.4 > 1.6> 1.7.1... And then kept getting notifications in the Ford app that there was updates but every time I go to my truck it would say it was back on 1.6 and it has stayed there since.

The dealer did a so-called "blue cruise update".. The documentation I got back from them set eight modules were updated. It looks like I have some feature sets that are above 1.6 the Apple CarPlay in the closter and Blue cruise works just without the hands-free feature

I called the Over-The-Air (OTA) Team, the lady was very lovely and tried to help. But the only thing i got out of that is she stated in their system that my truck shows that it is running 1.7.1 .

With that all being said, looking to go down the mongoose/FDRS road. Dose anyone see me running into issues?


With the lack of support from the oval it's awesome this community is out there!!!

You'll be fine if you just be patient and methodical and follow the directions in Post#1

And if you have questions during the process, just ask. But you should know that almost every question has been asked so you aren't walking down an untrodden path at this point.

APIM is 864MB for this update.

Both TCU and APIM updates are KonEon and need to see a full shutdown as usual.

APIM gets updated to 22087, rev 415

After successfully updating TCU and APIM a GWM will become available as well.

GWM is at least 248MB for this update but will confirm after it completes.

GWM Is KonEon and need to see a full shutdown as usual.

Well shoot I wonder what's changing

My APIM download is 2.1Gb so I'm really curious what's changed.

This does get all of us stuck on 21281 rev244 moving on.

yep figured as much, thanks! Once we find out what the update does I’ll pony up for the license if it’s a good upgrade.
