ECU module programming guide using FDRS

Trying to buy the license, keep getting

​

Your card could not be authorized at this time.

Tried 3 separate cards. APO cannot be picked so I chose my SC address. Got the truck hooked up and ready to go. Any other ways to pay for the license?

If you are running a VPN, I would be sure to turn that off

Actually, I had to use a VPN. Would not let me pay from German IP.

Already did PCM module, moving down the list.

PCM
ABS
SCCM
BCM
DDM
PDM
IPMA
TCM

completed. GWM remaining. Reran network scan and that's only one still. Download fails due to my low wifi signal. Will keep trying. If there is a way to download without the laptop connected to the truck it would be easier.

GWM taking forever. Tried a few USB attempts, sufficient voltage was in. Waited more than 10 mins, over 20 one time. Doing one last attempt to get out of the loop. Otherwise I may have to do CAN tomorrow if I find the time and parking. Don't know why the restart loop happens, followed the steps exactly.

Disregrad, it worked. APIM now shows. That's a tomorrow thing.

I can’t get the IPC update to take through USB. Those that have done it through CAN, what do I need to expect other than 6 hours? Does the truck have to be running like the usb update? Is it stable or will a failure cause the IPC to not show etc?

Kind of off topic but can you turn off double honk with FDRS? Or can you only do it with Forscan?

FDRS is Ford
Ford thinks you WANT double honk.

No, no running. Just on the battery charger. 6 hours is what it will take.

Has to be FORscan.

My first IPC update did not even give me the option to use USB, it went via CAN and took 4 hours.

ok thanks. started mine a half hour ago. Hopefully all goes well, just have to babysit the battery charger. Mine said 6+ hours in the message before starting it. Does anybody know what changes this update has? Is it adding any features or is it just bug fixes?

I've read some conflicting advice on the forum about whether the VCX Nano will work with FDRS. Just need some clarification as to whether it will work or not. Please let me know but I would also like to know if there are any pitfalls to using this device.

 

[Snakebitten]

Not recommended.
It's not capable of updating some modules, and can make a mess of the scan data that can require a delay in days for the cloud records to get cleaned up.

There's a few of us with unused nanos now in our toolbox

NO!!! DO NOT USE!

 

[Snakebitten]

Yea, that's what I meant. ?

 

[buckyhomes]

So what modules can is not update? How bad is it really? Is the mongoose really the only option?
