Yea I understand I probably bricked my truck from updates but was wondering if I can update it manually with a cable and frds?

Nope. Updates OTA or FDRS>. same thing

Im the only one that can update it. it would have to ship to me. Lucky for you the gateway and TCU are up to date.

If I decide to purchase the mongoose cable, FDRS license, what other cables and adapters, etc do you recommend I get to update my truck and download all the software I need?

So the first DIY do on the list is Post #1

Meant in the gentlest way.

Have a 22 with version 22082 revision 411. Don’t drive much since I have a company car and have a poor ATT signal at our place (In town as well). I got my mongoose cable and charger this afternoon to do the updates (and Forscan). I have been reading and have learned a ton but still want clarification on some things before attempting this.

FDRS shows there are updates available for ABS, APIM, and BCM modules. Is it ok to update all of these? I thought I remember reading updating the BCM module could cause issues. Should I update In any certain order? Will updating these lead to any other updates that I shouldn’t do? Does manually updating prevent future OTA updates?

Thanks ahead of time for the help!

Also.. seems like Ford is pushing the BCM update out VIA OTA> The one that was killing headlight modules.

Wanting to let people know. I have confirmation it has been sent out.. If you see this update that is what it is. I hope they have fixed it..

I’m not being the gueina pig this time. I had to replace the LED module. LOL

Thanks for making my license plates....lighter? What in the world could Ford be doing. They are either on, or off

I think it’s the trailer lighting. So probably just the circuits going to the trailer plug. Who knows.

I have a 21 Lariat PB 502A and performed the ABS and BCM a couple of days ago without any issues. As far as I know, Ford removed the bad update from the server. As for the APIM, I had to get help from @Jesse-Infotainment because I couldn't get the files to download through FDRS. Maybe Jesse can provide more info on the current BCM update.

I have a 22 KR and did updates last month, was on the same version of the APIM as you. I did receive 3.5.2 back in September, but nothing since. I had BCM, PCM, ABS, TCU, APIM, IPC, and some other modules, as you update the list refreshes and new updates for different or same module may show up. Didn't have an issue with any of the updates. Just took 6-8 hours to complete.

While I'm certain you're correct about the bad BCM update being pulled, it specifically affected trucks with the reflector LED's not the projector LED's you have
