New Splash Screen for Sync 4 - F-Series 75 Years

[astrand1]

From what I can tell, that's fairly cost prohibitive for a DIY'er (blowing $550 on a cable to update my infotainment in my truck might cause a few permanent wounds from my wife LOL). Thank you for the information though!

If you have a windows laptop all you need is this: VXDIAG VCX Nano Compatible for Ford/Mazda 2 in 1 Diagnostic Tool with IDS Programming Tool https://a.co/d/2t2DzLM

I got it and had to install a couple of drivers and then the FDRS software and I was good to go. It’s $50 for 48 hours of access to FDRS. I updated my trailer module. That was the only module that showed an update but worked perfectly.

Because 22238 isn’t available for 21 if you were to force it then it derails your updates it’s not being forced on 22

my truck I forced it so my apim reports no software and will now need to be updated manually if an update comes out for 21. Also if you force it you may not be able to install on top of it so that’s why it’s best to wait for the official updates

I don’t because I have apims available to me and tools that I can correct it.

So on my 22 can I get that update from you or am I better off waiting for an OTA? I plugged truck into FDRS a couple weeks ago and the only update was for the trailer module. Is there somewhere else I can look for this update for the apim or have they just not released it?

It wasnt available until recently. If you have FDRS it will be there now

UPDATE: New 75 year splash screen works perfectly on my personal ‘22 Ford F-150 Lariat. However the update doesn’t do anything on my work take-home ‘21 Ford F-150 XLT; seems like it’s still on Sync Version 22192, which needs to be on 22238. Still waiting on the next OTA update or so to get up-to-date.

Appreciate this!

If you have 22228 you can enable this splash screen as well as the new themes

Did you share the setting for the themes? I can't seem to find any info on it. Or trade secret??️‍

I thought the Splash Screen setting controlled this as well, but I just get the "75."

EDIT: thanks for updating in the other thread!

FDRS is Ford’s software to update modules in the truck.
This thread is a good read, and education. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/ecu-module-programming-guide-using-fdrs.8249/

FDRS is the ONLY way any of us have our trucks current/up-to-date with the software/firmware released by Ford.

(It's actually the official licensed Motorcraft diagnostics software that Ford Dealership Service Departments use. And as stated, a non dealership license for 2 days use is $50)

Waiting for OTA is an option, but historically speaking it's not only unpredictable, but many updates available for our trucks are for things that aren't related to user features, but rather modules that are managing the various subsystems and engine management. Most have never been queued for OTA ever. So a Job1 2021 F150 could be 15 or 20 updates behind on things that address many of the complaints on a forum like this.
