ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[newdeal99]

Looks like my gwm and tcu are up to date already so it’s the apim next. I will start over and cross my fingers it works without the TD but I am not confident

I will try this although I live in the country my internet is max 25mbps.

I have been using my phone as a hotspot internet connection with good luck. It is generally providing a 200mbps+ connection that is way more reliable than the home wifi in the driveway.

We have LTE out here but my phone gets 1 bar. The wifi is rock solid in my garage. Likely more solid than the cell service would be. I don't think LTE up here is more than 75mbps but I doubt I can get even close to that with 1 bar. Luckily when I restarted the APIM it remembered that I did it I guess so went straight to the step of writing the USB stick rather than spending forever redownloading it all again

Hard to keep the voltage up with the car running. It told me to turn on the engine and for some reason it’s at 12.6v now even with the charger on

I interrupted it because after 15 minutes it wasn’t seemingly doing anything and will retry on the charger instead of running because the voltage is 13 on the charger and 12.6 running

When it requires the engine running, I get a solid 12.6 volts and then with engine off, the power supply maintains 13.7 volts. Not sure why it drops when the engine is running but it has not effected any updates. I assume something is limiting the voltage while running and updating...

A Powerboost with engine On, regardless of whether it's actually running, is ~15V in FDRS.

However, very few updates require engine on, so rarely an advantage in FDRS

16 hours total of updates and done with Blue Cruise activated!

Good job!

Now get out there and

It's a HOOT!

Welcome to the FDRS addiction club!

Welcome to the FDRS addiction club!

More than an addiction. Got up to version 22034/Revision 364 with BC 3 weeks ago. New APIM, TCM and GWM update popped up today taking me to version 22095/Revision 421. So far I don't see anything new or different with this update.

I just finished 21G01 and it says once all of the GWM, APIM, IPMA, TCU and IPC updates have been done to:

"Perform a hard reset from FDRS Main Menu to reset sync (otherwise hands-free option will not be visible)

I don't see the hard reset option in FDRS, can someone guide me to it?

well I left the USB stick in and the charger on for about 5 hours and nothing happened. So I tried again and left it on from 11pm until 9am and nothing happened also. My stick is a dual type with one end USB and one end USB-C so I am going to try the USB-C port to see if anything happens

I use the USB C all the time I prefer them. If you are installing 21146 then that update can take a while to kick off for whatever reason.

Not sure if that is it but my truck is a job 1 truck with auto updates greyed out so I am stuck on that level but the TSB didn't work kept giving fastboot errors no matter what I did or what computer I used that it didn't detect that it was connected in spite of being connected and windows making the dingle that it was connected to something.
