ECU module programming guide using FDRS

The mongoose referenced a link to amazon but is specific to GM. Was there a mistake to the link or will the GM version work with Ford? TIA

Mongoose-Plus is engineered to work with one of the following OEM's J2534 applications for Chrysler, Ford, GM, Nissan, Toyota, & VW/Audi. It will work

No, it won’t. The Mongoose line is brand-specific.

I used this exact one on my truck with no issues at all

I called Opus and they said don’t do it. If you want a multi-brand, you need to use the CarDAQ 3.

Here is their direct link I stand corrected. If JEB says it won't...

Thanks! Oddly enough, the cameras at speed and hitch cam became active at some point between yesterday and when I went to make the ForScan updates today.

I wonder if there's a batch job on Ford's systems where they compare module versions each night, update the "As-Built" configuration, and send it down to the trucks since I've definitely had some things change.

I did the auto-deploy running boards fix with Forscan, and they work better than before with fewer "launch - retract - launch" incidents when I park somewhere, get out, and lock the truck.

I'll echo the comment I saw somewhere that I now have the truck I wanted and paid for, and no longer the V1.0 that was delivered back in July. It wasn't easy, but I would say the process was worthwhile.

I had that problem myself in that cameras would not work in motion until the next day. I attribituted it to not getting the APIM to reset the night before but maybe there is something more going on behind the scenes that take a few hours to work through.

I agree the process was not exactly cheap or easy but absolutely worth it. No doubt we would have been waiting for Ford for at least another 6 months before they would have gotten this many updates caught up.... if ever.

Anyone happen to know where to get a mongoose in Canada or has one in southern Ontario they'd like to rent? With it gone from Amazon, ordering it directly is north of $800 maple bucks after tax & tip. Just returned my nano without using it too.

those should be ok for any with 360 cams.

Should we move the Cameras at speed conversation to its own thread?

I'll pile on in the meantime. I didn't need to make any additional changes after the initial updates. A few ignition cycles and the Rear view showed up after already having bed & hitch.

Does everyone get the message in the middle of the screen saying "Please check surroundings" that stays on persistently?

I get that check surroundings message, seems weird Ford would put that right in the middle of the image instead of at the bottom or top but I am just glad to get features working after a year of promises

Yes that is part of the ability of rear cam in motion.

Anyone getting this “add camera” icon? Trailer camera maybe?

 

[nicholsbradley]

So get this I just left the dealership for a alignment and they asked me if I wanted to get the BC install done. They are referring to it as a recall. It’s now in dealerships system to do. At least at mine it was.

 

[ClayBell]

Is there anyone in Dallas/DFW area willing to lend me the Mongoose? There may be beer involved.

I'd really like to see a consumer license for FDRS for a reasonable price at 3 yr lengths that is tied to 1 or 2 VIN Numbers.
