I saw that some people talk about USB key. I did not find the files to put on it. I went through the 10 pages of exchange but nothing on what it should have on it.

To update firmware on the various modules in your truck if/that you're tired of waiting to be delivered OTA (over the air), you'll need to spend some cash. A Mongoose Plus VIC is about CAD$785 from Amazon. You also need a subscription to FDRS (Ford Diagnostics and Repair System), which runs $US50 for two day AND I have no idea if it can be accessed from Canada. You'll also need a battery charger that has a power supply mode, such as the Clore PL2320 that will set you back about CAD$170.

Beyond that, you'll need a FORScan compatible OBD adapter, such as the OBDLink MX+ at about CAD$200 plus the (free) FORScan application from forscan.org.

Mongoose, OBDLink MX+, and Clore are available on Amazon.

How to perform firmware updates and made FORScan edits to you truck have been documented all over the forums. Search is your friend.
