Wasn't this to reverse the update that was bricking the quad headlights?Yeah. It’s a BCM ”update” that will reverse the update you just got. Don’t do it.

Yep. Problem is, Ford hasn’t got things straightened out yet. If you get the 1009 update OTA, this BCM update immediately appears in FDRS to reverse it. @Jesse-Infotainment flagged it on Saturday, I think in the ECU programming thread, and said not to apply it.

Hmmmm......I follow that thread and I missed that. I'm surprised no one has started a thread warning people not to apply that OTA.Yep. Problem is, Ford hasn’t got things straightened out yet.

The OTA is fine. It’s the subsequent BCM update that appears in FDRS immediately after the OTA that you shouldn’t apply.Hmmmm......I follow that thread and I missed that. I'm surprised no one has started a thread warning people not to apply that OTA.
Why would Ford deploy that update is a bigger surprise.
To make sure I have this correct...I am to NOT INSTALL the update that is showing in FDRS right now.Yeah. It’s a BCM ”update” that will reverse the update you just got. Don’t do it.
Correct.To make sure I have this correct...I am to NOT INSTALL the update that is showing in FDRS right now.
Thanks @JEBCorrect.
You have a few updates.Can anyone check my VIN? 1FTEW1E87NFA70236
Ive been stuck on 3.5.2 since September. Getting ready to buy a mongoose cable at this point.
@Cheez_Greater any chance you could check my VIN to see if there any available updates since you have access to FDRS. I took to my dealer for the APIM update for full screen car play, but they said there was nothing to update. Thanks!You have a few updates.
