It must be. As usual, download speeds through FDRS are slower than molasses dripping down a tree in the winter. It released after a GWM OTA I got today, but it didn't release until I did a network scan.

Ya, that makes sense, the scan pulled it up for you. HammaMan checked my truck last night and the apim didn't show in fdrs even though i got the gateway yesterday. I'll hang and wait for the ota to come.

Yes. Took two hours to download 6 gigs from Ford's 3rd world country servers. I just don't get it. lol

I just updated two days ago using FDRS. Noticed that it was 5 GB and it tooks almost 5 minutes to download it. After the a success installation I did network scan and APIM still appears in list. Re run the installation again and this time the download file was only 1 GB. After that APIM Disappeared from the list.
I live in Kuwait and I was surprised from the download speed this time. Usually it takes 2-3 hours. But this update finished in 5 minutes it was really a miracle.

Idk......I have good internet at home and APIM updates have always been a PITA for me to download. APIM still showed for me after the install, but after another scan, it went away.
There was a new ACM update (verified version I had before and after and the strat changed), but it didn't come off the list so I ignored it. Also had trailer and door modules showing and knocked those out, too.

Same update here including BCMC. Noticed that CarPlay is connecting much faster and stable connection. That all what I noticed in the new Apim version.

I updated this past weekend and had the same experience. The first update took about two hours to install but the second one was quick. This update changed the splash screen as well.

I don't. Not sure how to even do that, tbh. If I see the download is going to take long, I just pack another bowl and pour another drink and just wait it out. Fortunately with the APIM, I can just leave the truck running so I'm not dying in this sofla humidity.

I know there has been tons of talk on here about USB sticks. I've done dozens on my truck and my MachE with no issue. I have another forum member here today and we can't get USB to kick off at all. It's the exact same stick I've used on my truck and mach e formatted MBR/EXFAT, named FDRS. I've also tried 3 other thumb drives. None of the USB updates will kick off. The drive is recognized and indexed, but update never starts. We did GWM via canbus, but APIM doesn't have that option. Any suggestions on what would make a specific truck stubborn?
