I just checked, all of my purchases were confirmed by helm.com in an email.

Thanks! Will be on the lookout. I almost hit submit order again thinking nothing was happening and spent another $50. Hopefully can get one of those charges removed. But looking forward to this.

Got it. Thanks. My screen is the same as yours, showing no subscriptions. So perhaps my order just hasn't processed.

Go back to the page in the photo,, read the green lettering and "click here" for FDRS

System is flowing now! All good! Thanks. Must be order glitch. But I just got the confirmation screen and the email when I tried again.

Thanks all. Going to a fun day trying this out. Hope the servers are ok today.

Good luck, remember you will not be able to update the BCM if it's on your list.

Going to be a challenging day. When I go to FDRS, the license was accepted which is great. I selected Non-Dealer ETIS for my User Type. Then entered my credentials. Got result saying "Cannot reach FDRS servers. Would you like to run the tool offline with limited functionality".

Does this mean the servers are down?

Yes, most likely. Usually by noon or 1pm EST there up again.

Try the other non-dealer login. Or is that the right one?

Anyone else having a problem with updating the audio front control module in FDRS. It looks like mine is in the installed but not clearing loop.

Over the summer I updated my acm the software took but it didn't clear the list either.

Alright, thanks for the reply. I'll let it go and and not worry about it. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a new bug..

You mean "Independent Operator / Non-Dealer"?

Tried that and I'm in!

So per Rugedraw, I'm starting with the APIM module, and it's I'm about to restart the truck after waiting 10 minutes. Assuming It's successful, he mentioned to them install the likely GWM and TCU modules, which in turn may pop another APIM update up. Do this until all of these are updated fully.

My question is, when I go to download the GWM/TCU, do I need to erase the previous APIM or other file so that the new process gets a blank USB drive? Hope that makes sense.

Once the update is done, and you are ready to do the next one, make it a practice to format the USB as ExFAT - not just delete the files. I have always done it like that and that is what the elders of the forum recommend too.

Official I am concerned post. I’m a Mac guy so don’t know Windows PCs anymore. I’m in the middle of the IPMA module update. I set the PC to never sleep. Everything has been going great. Came back to check on the truck and screen is blank. Can’t wake it up. Afraid to toggle power button. It was in the middle of downloading blocks.
The Mingoose left side is green. Right side flashes red.

Dtaving off panic here. Any thoughts or guidance?
