As a 2022, your truck was built with all the goodies in it already. PTS is down, so I cannot check OTA statuses for the time being, but you're good to go as far as that goes.
Hi all,
I have been lurking on these forums for a couple months after purchasing my new truck and found a lot of the information helpful. It started with full screen CarPlay and has now evolved into the dreaded map update for BC:
Anyways, figured I'd see if someone could check on my truck - I assume I'm completely up to date given the mfg date of my truck and that will mean the "hurry up and wait" option. I saw that Jessie was getting understandably a little burned out so didn't want to hit him with a request as a day 1 post 1 user.
VIN: 1FTFW1E85NFB93456
Appreciate the community y'all have built around here. As mentioned learned a lot about my truck that the dealership neglected to tell me which has been fantastic.
Thanks in advance,

First of all - Thank you!
total noob question but those are all the ones that my truck is waiting to download?
Dang..... Just hoping that APIM gets pushed soon lol. Have not had a problem with it updating yet.
PTS is "Professional Technician System" and it is a website only accessible by certain Ford employees. You can see OTA history on vehicle going back a max of 60 days. You can see many other useful things on there. The reason I think customers do not get access to the OTA portal is because they would be fielding hundreds or even thousands of calls every time an update fails. I'm guessing when it comes to customers, they believe ignorance is bliss.
APIM is "accessory protocol interface module" and GWM is "gateway module". I am not technically savvy enough to tell you which module update gives you full screen carplay or any other module. According to the Ford Power Up wiki, update 3.5.3 is a GWM update and I know that is the update that gives you full screen capability. I have been updating the wiki myself anytime I discover a discrepancy on there, so it is a good guide, but you can't rely on the info there to be 100% accurate. The Bluecruise maps updates I have seen people get via OTA comes as a stand-alone update and is not part of a power up update with a revision number.First of all - Thank you!
As mentioned in other posts I am a complete neophyte on all of this.
From what I've been able to gather reading the forums over the last couple of months:
- The APIM is the update that would enable full screen CarPlay
- The GWM is the update that is bottlenecking my map updating past 12/10/2022
Is that correct? Anything else you can glean from that screen?
I am slowly being indoctrinated to only caring about those two items when maybe I should be most keenly aware of/concerned with the first one
Very strange. The "connected vehicle" tab in my PTS has been grayed out since yesterday. I still can't see any truck's OTA dashboard.
All very helpful and understand your point on why Ford does it.
No OTA history in the past 60 days other than a bluecruise map update you got on 12/7. No OTA pending in your queue at this time. A few people recently reported getting 3.5.3, so hopefully Ford is rolling it out again. That is the update needed for full screen capability.
My PTS access will not be able to help you out in your case. You should post this in the FDRS thread that is stickied in this section.
I see the updates you received back then, and nothing else has been sent to you. No updates pending in your queue at this time, but the fact that you are getting updates is good.
