Post a screenshot of the sw updates tab. I won't be in my laptop until a bit later to check myself.

back at the dealer now running more updates. Looks like it will let me re-run an APIM update and hopefully that will unlock more modules. The only other options are for audio control module and power steering module

That's exactly how it works. APIM will release a GWM or TCU, and that will release another and so on until no more pop up. Ignore the ACM and PSCM.

But the PSCM is the good stuff. That's what fixes the ping-pong in LCA and BC
I know it's not critical to the flow, but don't forget to install before done.

Will do! APIM update just finished and unlocked another GWM and IPC update. Will continue to push through these 1 at a time until I’m fully updated. Revision number is also 473 instead of 415 so we’re slowly but surely getting there.

Agreed, but the PSCM is already updated as is the ACM. It just doesn't off of the list for some reason.But the PSCM is the good stuff. That's what fixes the ping-pong in LCA and BC

If the IPC update fails the USB method, FDRS will ask you if you want to CAN it in. The CAN method will work for sure, but it will take 6 hours to update. If the IPC fails via USB several times, then CAN will be the only way to update it. Just FYI so you don't start something you may not have the time to finish.

I understand thanks for letting me know. When I first started diving into this update nightmare, we did successfully update the IPC through usb and that took maybe 2-3 hours or something. Is there another update I will need to do for that module or should that be good now?

I think there were a total of 3 IPC updates for job 1 2021 trucks. The first two, I had to do with CAN.....6 hours each. Thankfully the third one went via USB and was actually pretty quick.

Still can't believe they're using 1Mb can bus as the standard this far down the line. They really need to hop on the GBE ring topology or at least 100Mb. A single twisted pair of wires can support gigabit ethernet under the 1000BASE-T1 standard which the sync hardware supports just needs spread to more modules. 100Mb automotive ethernet transceivers are ~$1 at ford's usage level and should be on all major components while deleting the GWM entirely with the PCM handling can bus to ethernet traffic. The wiring savings alone more than makes up the price delta.

What is the bluecruse prep kit? My apim is updated. Will I need to do the prep kit? I don't really need BC 1.4 now that I use the comma autopilot but I want it when

No, BC prep kit is only for job 1 2021 trucks that shipped from Ford with BC hardware but missing the software.

Left the dealer a couple of hours ago. I still had another decent sized APIM update to do but FDRS said the battery SOC was too low (33%) despite sitting on a 25a ford battery tender the entire time. So assuming it was talking about the hybrid battery?
Most of the time during the KOER steps of the updates, the engine was off and running off the hybrid battery the entire time.
Will leave it on my tender overnight and hopefully the 30 miles of driving to/from the dealership will recharge it enough to continue updating.
I am on a much newer version and revision now and blue cruise prep update did succeed and I have hands free driving enabled in features and sync info, however lane centering assist is still not available so blue cruise still doesn't technically work.
Spent 5ish hours today doing various GWM, TCU, and some APIM updates that were 5gb however it must need more updating to catch up with wherever the IPC/IPMA is since I have not seen any new updates for those while going through APIM/GWM versions.
So far the new features I have now are video in motion for the bed camera, and full screen carplay, both of which are big features I was looking for. But since lane centering assist still doesn't work, I don't get bluecruise or even normal functionality of lane centering
