ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[TimPBF150]

Unfortunately the IPC info has not updated to the correct version yet. No updates have been released.

I can help you update though at this point to the next gateway version.. maybe doing that will push FDRS to refresh the data.

Hi Jesse. I was considering getting the license again to if your available to help out with that gateway. Please let me know. Otherwise I'll wait.

Thanks

I had an interesting error yesterday. After months of trying to get my system to update with a USB stick, and every 10-14 days seeing, "System Updating", followed by "USB Error", I gave up. Then after removing the USB three weeks ago, I had the "USB Error" show up on my screen. Nothing was plugged into anything. Just odd. Thought I'd add this to the other 600 plus pages of "huh"? (or maybe someone has posted about it and I missed it)

Could be a USB drive issue -- no, not quality related. It really doesn't like samsungs. I have a really shitty cheap chinesium no name drive the works flawlessly.

Does anyone know if the ford bulletin to halt blue-cruise software updates is still ongoing? It came out 04 January so you'd think they'd have solution or update now that it's been almost 3 months, but my dealership is not useful at all

Still a stop order on it I checked yesterday

Really? I've done all my USB updates with a Samsung USB drive. The only time I had an issue was with an update Jesse made for me, but any time I used FDRS for updates, it worked perfectly.

Here’s a nugget of information I expect will get lost in the forums, but is worth mentioning.

This is not sponsored in any way.

@MikeYQM

I learned Chris Kennedy at Mister Transmission in Moncton New Brunswick is the Canadian representative for Drew Technologies and provides training to shops across Canada and the USA for products like the CARDAQ and Mongoose.

His knowledge of automotive electronics and software diagnostics is seemingly among the best, such that major dealers in the Maritimes outsource problems they can solve to his team.

If you live in Canada and happen to be shopping for a domestic distributor of the Mongoose, I strongly recommend Mister Transmission in Moncton New Brunswick.

That list of updates is identical to what @antho informed me that my Powerboost has in the queue.

I don't know what is suddenly wrong with me, but I'm not inclined to license-up and do the updates.

I think I've found myself at a point where I want to know specifically what an update is addressing before I will risk my PERFECTLY behaving/performing truck.

Man what a difference a year makes. ?
I was an FDRS update junkie

I agree with you !!

After two FDRS licenses, a new battery charger, two broken bolts and many, many hours, I was finally able to get by '21 upgraded to the point where I have Blue Cruise and full screen Car Play ?

Here is my SYNC version now. I have no idea how it translates to the Power-Up versions ?

Many thanks to everyone on here. I couldn't have done it without all the help. An especially big thanks to @Jesse-Infotainment!

BTW, I had an IPC update, which was the first update that required a USB drive, and the truck just would not read the USB drive. At @Jesse-Infotainment recommendation I went the alternate canbus route to finish the IPC update. I started it right before going to bed and it was done when I woke up in the morning. I think it took 5-6 hours. After that any update requiring the USB drive worked perfectly.

My favorite posts on this forum!

Well done.

And now you have a TCU update available.

Thanks for the heads up! I knew there were more updates when I quit, but didn't look closely. I think I might have another APIM update too. At this point I got the features that I really wanted, so I'll probably wait before shelling out another $50. Please let me know if you think that is a bad idea (e.g. the TCU update is critical). Thanks!

You do. The APIM will get you to sync 22293 and full screen capability (OTA 3.5.3) and the TCU update will give you dual phone connectivity (OTA 3.5.4)
