Request VIN Lookup Thread

[Liv2Ryd]

Greetings, recently purchased a used 21 F150 Platinum Powerboost with 30K miles. Long time F150 owner but this one is starting to test my patience. So far the truck has been great but I've unearthed a few issues and could use some help understanding the history of my truck. To date, I know that it is still on Sync 20301 so its likely never been updated. Tried to run the OTA update, but got nothing so I'm in OTA purgatory. It also has the HD tow package with 3.73 gears which is prone to bolt breakage. Finally, my Ambient light utility is not displaying on my Sync 4 screen.

Carfax says the truck has been in for warranty repair several times but gives no detail. The dealer I bought it from said it was for recalls but gave no details. Is there a chance on of you fine gentlemen could run my VIN and get me the repair history?

VIN 1FTFW1ED2MFB86637

I'm sure glad I bought a CPO with a 12 month bumper to bumper warranty. Looks like I might be using it soon.

I've received some updates lately can someone show me what I am missing?

Your truck seems to be on a roll. 4.2.1 is in your queue as of today. As long as it didn't skip over older updates as has been happening to people lately, you're good to go.

Good day. My truck has been receiving OTA updates but seems to be stuck on 22-PU1009-TLC-CSM. I've ensured all preconditions are met but keep getting a notification of failure no matter how many times I try. My VIN is 1FTFW1E80MFA32771. Do I need get a mongoose to fix this, or is there another solution?

You need to initiate the update and park your truck while it updates. It seems like you interrupted the porcess which caused the failure.

Just realized it seems I haven't gotten any updates. My truck connects to Wi-FI most nights. What's the best way to resolve this?

Your truck is stuck on Sync 20301 which is old software known to brake the OTA process. Without intervention, you will never get an OTA. Your dealer needs to manually update your APIM or diagnose it as faulty in order to get you out of its current state. I strongly recommend getting a Mongoose and doing it yourself.

Did updates yesterday. How do I find what OTA version I ended up on ?

VIN 1FTFW1E87MKD23274

Keep doing updates until nothing shows up on that list. Do the APIM first, then try the CMR again.

Just bought this 1FTFW1E80MFB31087. Eagerly awaiting the update for full screen carplay. Not sure what I can do if anything to make it happen. Thanks for the help.

The update for full screen capability was sent to you 5/30 and failed. It is being sent to you out of sequences. You will not get cameras in motion, pro trailer back up assist with the sticker or bluecruise if your truck is supposed to have it without a Mongoose tool.

Yes, you are in OTA purgatory. Invest the $550 into a Mongoose and avoid the head aches is what i recommend. You are very far behind in updates and will never get one with intervention.

Finished all the updates last night. Should be all caught up on OTA's. Didn't have blue cruise lane changing this morning so my truck is probably too early of a build.

Your truck is supposed to have BC. If you still have the Mongoose, @Jesse-Infotainment maybe able to help get you what you are missing. I may have been better to have him do his thing before you got as far as you did, but I digress to the expert.

I do have BC. Thought that lane change was coming via OTA but I only briefly skimmed through the video that was on you tube. Thanks for all the help.

Could somebody please check on 1FTFW1ED9NFA22318 for me? Thanks in advance!

Ah, I misread your post. I had understood you didn't have BC at all.

As far as OTA's go, your truck is completely up to date.

Thank you! Does this mean I'm good on all modules?

@rugedraw Thank god for people like you who are willing to help us new owners out. Looks like my truck just had a new set of axle shafts installed in March. I'll get a mongoose on order and start down the rabbit hole. Wish me luck.

You may have a few random modules needing updates. I don't have FDRS to check.

 

[astrand1]

It's says I'm at version 3.5.4, these module updates will they come OTA or do I need FDRS?

you would probably be best off doing FDRS. certainly quicker.
