ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[antho]

If anyone can can look up my vin and tell me if I ever gotten any OTAs. I’ve never seen Ford Pass notifications . I also got the updated integrated trailer brake modular recall. How do you know if you’re stuck on 1.71 Sync shown nothing. Thanks

Hi all,

any idea how to make carplay or android auto directions works in the cluster?
Have a 2021 job2 Lariat 502a.

Thanks in advance

Those features just get added naturally as you progress through the multiple updates that were intended for your truck via OTA, but didn't.
Yet anyways.

This thread is all about solving that issue yourself. And far more comes your way than in-cluster navigation aid.

Thanks so that means those are available to download and I’ve never gotten any OTA?

That actually means you have a lot of updates that once they are performed it will populate with another round of updates.

Or put another way, if you were 3 or 4 APIM updates behind, you only see the next one available. Once it is performed, the next one will appear. So on and so on.

It sure would be nice if someone could come over and do it for me. Totally worth paying and staying out of the dealer.

I'm coastal Texas, so Chicago is a bit out of the way.
And from that motherload of updates, they'd be spending the night for a couple of nights minimum.

Worth a shot-

Does anyone in the Dallas area have a USB 2.0 A Female to USB B Mini 5 Pin Female Adapter Converter? I would like to update my TCU before my 2-day license ends and don't want to wait 3 weeks to get one.

It's a long shot but worth the shot.

Thank you in advance.

So you kick off a FDRS update, any reason to not keep opening and closing doors during the update?

 

[Snakebitten]

Shouldn't be a problem if accessory power is on and the battery is being monitored. (kept charged)

Of course there are such things as door modules, so I might leave them alone for that.

Worst case an example of a door or open hood when those modules are being configured will throw a DTC that you would want to clear later but ya no it should not be a problem.

Took a long drive today (600 miles) on the newest set of updates that rolled out this week. The only changes I noticed are that max speed for blue cruise has dropped from 82 to 81, and I didn't get any more random panic "Resume Control" alerts (which usually get 2 or 3 times on a trip that long). So far I haven't seen anyone point out any different behavior or new features from the latest round of updates.

Did the IPC can-bus update overnight and it completed finally. Rescanned and another gateway update. Which is another USB install so I took a deep breath and proceeded but it went thru with no issue. So now doing final APIM. Fingers crossed.

Well well look what just popped up on my phone.

 

[Snakebitten]

You earned it!
