updates check por favor: 1FTFW1ED8MFB55506

got apim 4.3.6 ota the other day. curious if the gwm popped up.

Would appreciate someone checking to see if I have any module updates available in FDRS. According to the app I have received 4.3.6 and 6.1.0 over the last couple of days. Thanks. 1FTFW1ED6MFB86236.

Good morning, will someone please check for FDRS updates on my two vehicles?

^thank you sir

I guess I am trying to see both. What OTA am I missing and what modules have not been updated. I saw that there was a voluntary paypal account to send a few bucks for your time looking things up. Can you point me to that previous post with the info?

Last OTA in your history is 3.5.2, so you are pretty far behind. Your next OTA would be 3.5.3 which gives you full screen carplay/android auto. List of FDRS updates pending modules is below:

The APIM update you see there would be 3.5.3. Once that update is done, more will pop up on that list.

I have never had a link to my Paypal on my sig and I will never have one. I do not do this for money. With that said, I appreciate the gesture.

Can you check 1FTFW1E81PFC39979. I should be up to date but you never know

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it. I figured Rowe Ford in Westbrook Maine had not updated me completely. They did just enough to shut me up. Shame on them. They just lost a customer for their laziness.

It's not laziness. Ford does not pay them to perform module updates and nobody likes to work for free.

Thanks @rugedraw

Thanks @rugedraw

yesterday I received 4.3.6 do you have any time to check FDRS for me ? 1FTFW1ED3MFB23739

Hey @rugedraw I just got my truck back from the dealer and it looks like they got an update or 2 to go through. Could you check it again and see if they got me out of purgatory?

Then Ford needs to get their act together and compensate their dealers. When they say bumper-to-bumper that is what it should be. For what I paid for this truck, even used, it should be a part of the dealer intake process. These trucks have become rolling computers and need continual updates to function correctly. I understand what you are saying but that answer does not fix what is happening. I just bought this thing. Its like buying a late-model computer but the OS is Windows Vista (and I am expected to pay for the upgrade). I expect my vehicles when I purchase them to have all new fluids, a new sticker, to have had a comprehensive vehicle inspection and yes, the software updated (not just the infotainment but all systems). It's not too much to ask. its more than getting full-screen CarpPlay but all systems. Some of these systems could be a safety concern as well. Rant over.

It does seem like they eventually were able to get your APIM updated. They tried many times and updated a few modules. They were trying to update your GWM and that failed a few times.

Refresh my memory: Were you on Sync 20301 when you took your truck to the dealer?

I agree with this having been in the situation of needing to update truck myself on used purchase. Dealers are cheap and only going to have a couple laptops or maybe a desktop with FDRS as the dealer I bought from. FDRS itself is not a cheap software license and I think dealers pay more because they can do what others can't like key programming. They will only use their investment to do the minimum and fixing broken vehicles. If your truck runs fine then it's at bottom of priority list in their eyes because it costs them time and money to update you instead of working on other vehicles.

There is another Ford dealer (which I have purchased 5 fords from) that has always gone above and beyond my expectations might help me out, to get my business back (maybe, maybe not who knows) that is calling me back today. Regardless, after this vehicle is off of its warranty I will probably pony up and buy a Mongoose cable and FDRS.

Yes it was, They definitely got a few updates through to the APIM cause it does look a little different and has a couple new features. I haven't gotten any additional updates yet though and I've had it back for a few days now.

Give me a bit. I'll ask Jesse to look. Only because I know the right questions to ask.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could check my VIN for updates (GWM/APIM, OTA 4.2.3 and beyond). Like many, I know there is a problem with my truck receiving latest updates. Want to be armed when I go to the dealer, who is telling me they want to charge $200 for their effort if this is a customer request vs. warranty (i.e., a problem)..
