I honestly don't think I will ever get an OTA update, because my battery SOC is crap. My truck is still under warranty but the dealer said they can't replace it under warranty due to it passing the test on their tester. I will give it a while and see if it ever comes through.
I feel like I'm in the same boat!

Is there a reason why everybody is using the Mongoose in lieu of the VCX Nano for under $100? I'm reading that it works with FDRS

Never Mind,
I found a post from Iceman that says it is no longer compatible.

I used the Nano to do all my updates (because I'm cheap). However it has some big issues:
  • Can brick the CCM during update (I don't have a CCM on my 302A)
  • corrupted data often happens during a Network Scan (so you would want to avoid running one which makes the whole process take longer as you have to wait for the truck to self report)

There also may or may not be Chinese spyware in the software used to run the VCX products. I have used one before in a pinch on a GM vehicle but would keep in a virtual machine environment only.

Bought a license yesterday to update my 22 Raptor. I did a set of FDRS updates when I bought my truck last October. I received a single OTA in Jan (3.5.2.2) and then nothing since. My updates yesterday included 3 Gateway updates, 1 APIM update and 1 TCU update. I also had a headlight update, a BCM update, and a Anti-Lock Brake unit update. Of those last three, I only applied the anti-lock brake update.

Anyone applied the recent BCM or headlight updates? Any reason I should? I have glare-free enabled. I know my FORSCAN changes have propagated up to the Ford servers because I made those changes in December of last year and haven't messed with FDRS until yesterday and my FORSCAN changes were unaffected.

BCM should come OTA if you updated everything else. It is fine to install if you want to manually. THE HCM is for a flicker issue I believe.
