Did you have the power supply on? When you sign in to FRDS again, if the IPMA is purple in color, you'll need to run the PMI on it. When FDRS asks if it is the original module, select "no".

@Bills916 Also, if you have a CMR and/or SCCM update showing, do those first before you reattempt the IPMA/PSCM.

Yea correct. IPMA will take 3 hours. It is important to have the power supply on for that one.

The IPC update you see there is one that may release more updates after you do it. If it fails the USB method several times and you have to push it through with the cable, it will take 6 hours, so he prepared if that's the case.

At this point, it does not really matter. Just do the SCCM before the IPMA.

I got Ford to replace my bad Gateway Module (GWM) which fixed some issues I've been having and the inability to update the truck past a few module updates.

I started doing updates to the truck today. The only update that showed when I hooked up FDRS was for the TCU. That went through fine, and then an update for the APIM was unlocked.

I ran through the APIM update, it was 6gb of files. That updated fine. Now I'm finally on SYNC 4, Software Version: 23159_PRODUCT - Revision: 915

A GWM update appeared and worked like a champ.

More APIM updates showed up and I'm in the process of updating the truck again. This has 5gb of files. I put the USB drive into the truck, get the 'Do NOT remove USB until instructed' message and click close like normal.

I don't get the 'Software Updating' message in the top left of the screen like I normally see. Is it still updating, or is something else happening here? How long should I keep the truck running before doing anything in case it is actually updating in the background? I've had it running for roughly 10 minutes now.

Thanks!

Fdrs will tell you to select yes even if you didn't see anything happen. So do that, and see what FDRS says. If the APIM update is still there on the list, then try it again. Chances are, it didn't go through. Try rebooting the GWM with forscan before you try the USB update for the APIM again.

Thanks. I'll give that a try and see what happens

EDIT
The 30 Min Idle Timer kicked in and turned off the truck. I guess it updated and the screen was frozen. By the time I realized the truck was off and started it up, it said successful. I think I got lucky on that one. I have also disabled the Idle timer now, and am running a TCU update now.

I'm up to SYNC 23291 - Rev 1049 now. A few more to go before I'm current.

Having a really hard time with apmi updates. I have a 64gb flash drive formatted correctly lower case name that’s only two letter. When I plug it into the truck I don’t get the pop up it registers the usb then does nothing. Please advise thank you

@Bills916 Cole, Can you try another usb drive? 16GB or 32GB? If you have the time, do a full format on the drive the first time you use it rather than a quick format; there could have been a windows hiccup when having to write the allocation unit boundaries along with writing the files from FDRS. When I use a 32GB sandisk, I fully exFAT format first with a volume label of FDRS in upper case. Then try to re-run the update for FDRS to copy down fresh files. See how you go with that.

What do you mean by fully format? My usb came with exfat as a defalt. I just unclicked quick format.
