ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[powerboostnick]

I'm wondering if anybody can lookup my vin for updates on fdrs. I got a mongoose, and a fdrs license and updated everything I could. Now the license is out and I returned the mongoose.

I think Sync is STILL not fully up to date. Which is quite annoying... I didn't realize APIM might need multiple updates.

Thank you anybody!

I had the same idea myself. No joy. GWM installs fine (although I never saw the “update successful“ screen prompt after restart). DSP is unchanged. It reinstalls but does not clear the queue.

Same, but I also think that DSP doesn't actually install on my Job 1 2021 based on the software component numbers.

I thought that too. But I was wrong. According to the Motorcraft as-built database and FDRS, it looks Ike the update didn’t go through. But if you look at FORScan, you should see an updated software version.

I guess not even FDRS reads module data directly from the truck itself but looks to the server once it captures your VIN.

Mine are below. I don't know how to interpret any differences, but both seem the same.

Here's what Forscan shows:

DSP - (Audio) Digital Signal Processing Module
Part number: ML3T-18B849-AH
Calibration level: ML3T-18B849-AH
Strategy : ML3T-14C589-AJ

Here's what FDRS shows:

You’re right. It doesn’t look like yours updated. F188 in FDRS and the Strategy in FORScan are the same. On mine, I see ML3T-14C589-BH at F188 on FDRS and Motorcraft. On FORScan, I see ML3T-14C589-BN for the strategy.

To be sure of what you’re getting in FORScan and that the results reflect recent changes (if any), make sure you aren’t using a saved profile.

Yup. That was it. Strategy now shows ML8T-14C589-AB.

For better or worse, you are up to date.

I installed the latest GWM update via FDRS, and I did need to manually reboot Sync one more time to get GPS/cloud connectivity back. I did notice however that some update over the past couple weeks must have broken the ability to view weather radar on the Nav system (current weather still works - the issue is just with radar imagery).

Ok so maybe that wasn't just me. We had some weather last night and I could not for the life of me get it to pull up. Anyone else verify that it doesn't work?

You are way behind. You are at 20310 I believe. Does your about sync even show a verison?

Same. The weather tile isn’t grayed out, which is a good sign. I’m just not getting a data feed.

Dangit why would they break that. I actually make use of that map when I'm traveling through weather.

My radar and current weather are working after all updates

@speedracercjr @RickBullotta

Current weather works but not radar?

 

[Snakebitten]

You ask "Why would they break that?"

Software coding is a minefield once it gets to a certain point.
Sync4 is to that point with me personally.
I almost want them to stop having meetings about additional features. Go write Sync5 for the Gen15 trucks and only work on bug cleaning on Sync4. My truck is sweeeeet. You can only mess it up at this point.
