ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Jesse-Infotainment]

Yes. I am talking about lane keeping camera. IPMA module is from this car, but it was tried in other f150, programmed and now returned back to this f150. Now I cannot do PMI or configuration via fdrs

Lots of reports that in dark mode the APIM is more stable with Bluetooth and cameras.

I know, it sounds crazy.

?

Update: The issue resolved itself overnight. Currently working on the APIM update following this GWM update.

Can anyone help me with this error? I was able to do several other GWM updates during the day yesterday. TIA

A little off topic - If I was to buy a small cheap windows (10 or 11) based pc/tablet to run just FDRS, Forscan ect. - Any ideas? Thinking of keeping all my truck info stored on it as well. Would need a couple of USB ports, WIFI and SSD drive.

I have our laptop installed in the office, with all cords tucked away. Also, it has not been used on battery power that much and the battery doesn't last long.

That's exactly what I did. I bought a cheap used Windows laptop from a colleague of mine just for FDRS and FORscan.

Looking for ideas on this issue or see if anyone else is experiencing this. I did an APIM update via FDRS on Oct 6 up to version 23167 Rev 926. Ever since then my Android Auto will connect and load. In about 5 seconds it will drop out and display the image below. 60% of the time it will re-connect in 10 seconds. The rest if the time it won't work unless I manually connect it from the phone screen. I have done an APIM reset, removed the phone from by vehicle, cleared out the app data and cache from Android Auto on my phone. Same result.

Phone is a Pixel 5, Android 13.

please update the post w/ phone model so we can see if similar issues popup with that phone. I believe the latest iphone is having issues with the phone as key.

i have the same phone and year of truck - I seemed to get intermittent period where my wireless Android Auto would not connect, and seemed to be worse if my family used the truck before me (using Apple CarPlay). Things got a bit better by doing the following:
- Updated to Android 14
- Deleted all bluetooth/paired connections then repaired (do not connect to Ford Sync request, but rather connect to the Android bluetooth pairing request)
- When AA is running (even from a cable) go to AA settings in the truck, and make sure AA always starts (not just when the last user started AA).

Seems to be better..... There is still one spot on the highway where all connections get lost (both AA and CarPlay) - some sort of high interference spot - everywhere else good, just this one spot.

Pixel is another phone with issues. Those are the only 2 I've seen so far. Latest apple phone for PAAK & carplay (believe latest phone update fixed it) and pixels have AA connection issues.

Very cheap laptop will do the job.
First thing I did when I bought it was reinstall Windows 11 from scratch off USB drive. It finds the baked in hardware license key and it's off and installing quick without OEM bloatware. Then add FDRS and Forscan.

Go off the relatively low FDRS requirements plus a little extra. It doesn't need an amazing spec laptop.
I went with 8GB of RAM and 128GB HD even though first post in thread says 4GB. It's a useful little laptop for forum browsing and basic things.

I was thinking 8 GB ram, 125/256 GB SSD and Windows 10 or 11. Has to have 2 or 3 USB ports and WiFi. Figured that would work just nicely.

What brand did you get?

Woot.com (an Amazon subsidiary) has a few laptops really cheap right now. As low as $100 if you want to go really cheap, that would be perfect if this is all you are going to use it for. A few solid options in the 180-300 range if you are willing to spend a little more.
