YES! it took me about 2 days last summer to make all of the updates in FDRS. They don't stop once they start. LOL
I know when I catch up I’ll be happy but deep down I think I’ll be sad.

I'm in the process of trying to update my MY21 and I think I'm running into every corner case ?

First I got all the modules updated with the exception of the IPC. All of those went smoothly, but the IPC has been anything but smooth. First nothing would happen when I inserted the USB drive, so I reset the GWM and then it actually responded to the USB drive. Unfortunately I got the Code_0 Error "The update cannot continue because an error occurred". So then I deleted all the FDRS Vehicle Software on my laptop and restarted the process, including reformatting the USB drive, etc. And now I'm back to the truck not doing anything when I plugin the USB drive...

Any advice? I'll try resetting the GWM again...

Also, I've tried 2 different USB drives. One has junky plug so sometime the computer looses connection and I'm concerned the truck will too. Of course the truck doesn't like the one with the better plug and always gives me a "The USB device is not supported" error. Anyone else ever gotten that error?

I saw where some people have suggested that the Code_O error indicates that the APIM is bad and needs to be replaced. Is that for certain? Should I just take it into the dealership?

@Jesse-Infotainment any of your infinite wisdom would be greatly appreciated! My VIN is 1FTFW1ED0MFB61851

Thanks!

Im not sure what update you have for your APIM on the USB.. but you need to update your IPC. THat is the update that shows right now and nothign will be released until you do it.

The IPC is a USB update for one part and a can bus for the second part. Do that update now. You dont even show an APIM update available

So the USB error you have is for the IPC.

If so I can send you the update AND YOU CAN TRY IT OTHERWISE YOULL AHVE TO DO CANBUS FOR THE ipc AND IT TAKE ABOUT 6 HOURS.

Are you able to see updates needed via FDRS without the license needed or just to look at what you need to update you have to pay? :unsure:

There is a request Vin thread that is stickied. Post your VIn and someone will run it in and give you your list of updates.

So, you think Ford's bandwidth shaping might be more optimal at 1:AM? ?

Afterall, I'm an old man with no curfew.

My real problem is that my APIM/Sync is performing flawlessly for me currently and so far nobody has reported anything that I might desire enough to...... Well, make the effort.

Now other module updates are a different story! I don't even have to know exactly what they address, but the access cost is so low in time/effort that I'll fetch. Lol
I agree.. don't fix it if it's not broke!! :)
