Request VIN Lookup Thread

[Jesse-Infotainment]

Thanks for that offer Jesse, but I will likely just deal with the truck as is until I have a way to switch out vehicles.

Course of action was
1. Dealer notices truck is way out of date and tries to update it.
2. Can't do it.
3. Tells me APIM is bad and orders a new one.
4. Calls me back a few weeks later when it comes in and we schedule appointment.
5. They have the truck for three weeks attempting and failing PMI on the new APIM.
6. Ford gives them manual codes that fail. Tells them the ruined it and says to order a new one.
7. That one arrives 2.5 months later and they schedule me for a switch out.
8. Put in 3rd APIM try to PMI a couple times. Shrug and call me that its ready.

I won't have time to keep dealing with it before I hit 36,000 miles. It would also be funny if the dealership offered me less on a trade-in due to faulty APIM.

I don't want to make assumptions off of what you said- but is the issue that the APIM sync version is too new for my vehicle?

It is not the correct version for the vehicle.

Once it syncs on fords side to that verison all updates will stop that are sequenced off the apim.

Apim swp out take 30 mins.. Not that hard. But it is your truck. You do what you want.

No, I asked because the last OTA that was requested has been quite awhile (like last fall when it was in my dealer's with whom I have a good relationship) and I was beginning to wonder. At the end of the day, this truck has been virtually flawless. I have no complaints about it.

Well, your truck got 3 OTA's in the past 10 days or so. As long as you didn't skip over previous updates, you're good to go.

Thank you! Hmm interesting. So I think I actually did update the apim once by putting it on the USB drive and leaving it in for a few days, it eventually said updating. One of the things I noticed after the update was the sync version went from blank to showing 22146-product Revision 145. Also the Auto update that was not able to be selected, is now turned on. I didn't get a chance to reconnect and update on FDRS after the update so maybe that's why it is showing the old version.

If your touchscreen says you are on 22146, then an APIM update must have gone through. Ford's servers show you are on Sync 20301 which is broken software and FDRS history does not show a successful APIM update. You are still very far behind on updates and I would recommend finishing what you started if you can get your hands on that Mongoose again.

I gather I'm set for auto update... I'll go look and check what other updates I have. I had expected it to ask me before installing updates... No sweat... And thank you!

Hoping to get status for my VIN, I've received some recent OTA's and my Sync version is: 23031 revision 713.

VIN: 1FTFX1E8XMFC57924

Much Appreciated!!

Can you check what my truck is doing in the background? It is showing the "F150 Saved" message everytime I start it the past couple days which I assume means it has been downloading software.
My VIN is 1FTFW1E13MFB77676

Hi and thanks in advance for any help/information. My truck recently had what the dealership called a "corrupted APIM." It would not load correctly into the truck and was locked out of OTA. When I got the truck back from the dealership I got a FDRS license and tried updating modules. I spent about 9 hours updating different things- but could not get anywhere with the APIM.

Yesterday the dealership installed the long awaited third APIM, said congratulations, and gave it back to me. But it seems to be behind still as far as sync versions/ updates go.

Software Version: 22125_PRODUCT
Revision: 248

VIN: 1FTFW1E85MFB77188

Could anyone offer me some insight into if there is any update waiting for me if I were to get another 2-day license to try and update?

 

[astrand1]

I'm wondering if anybody can lookup my vin for updates on fdrs. I got a mongoose, and a fdrs license and updated everything I could. Now the license is out and I returned the mongoose.

I think Sync is STILL not fully up to date. Which is quite annoying... I didn't realize APIM might need multiple updates.

Thank you anybody!

I just purchased a 2021 3.5 EB and have found that it has never received an update. I just did a 12 inch screen upgrade and retained my original APIM. Can you show me what modules it says for my vin? Thanks!

where did you get your screen from?

eBay came with the bezel, buttons and vents as well.

Thanks! Could you scroll down by chance to see what the others are? Do you think I could knock this out in 2 days with a mongoose?

I’ll check yours again but I’m pretty sure that’s all of them. I usually size it to show all updates.

Just checked. That’s all of them. What’s below is all the other modules that are up to date already. And yes I think a 2 day pass will get all those done. You don’t have any big as in long time ones showing. But having said that sometimes when you do updates on FDRS others will pop up but 2 days should get it done.

I wonder why it’s not showing an APIM update because I’m still in the factory sync version.
