ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[tonesto7]

might be a dumb question, but how do you know if the truck is Job 1 or 2? Never needed to know, but curious.

I believe trucks with build date July 2021+ are job 2...

Job 1 trucks were from the first 2021 truck built to around July 2021 time frame, anything after that is considered Job 2.

There is a new version of FRDS 31.6.4 which upon initial testing fixes the corrupted module info.
Then again I'm not sure FFF1-14D358-FF is a valid partname for SYNC

Edit:

After the second scan, it appears to be correct now.

This is interesting.

Agreed but as I stated, tech told me that they were told to hold off and no specific reason was given even when I asked.

Regardless of what "source" is accurate, Bluecruise for Job1 ain't here.

Actions speak louder than memos. Lol

I ain't holding my breath. I'm guessing that some of the speculation regarding hardware/software in Job1 trucks have Ford in a pickle just might be valid. Otherwise, since Job2 trucks are running around enabled, Ford would just OTA or FDRS Job1 into BC heaven.

Can someone check my VIN to see what update fun I'm in for when I get my VCX and purchase a FDRS license? 1FTFW1E80MFB18274

You have a few

Once completed they may open up more updates

That's my worry, look how easy they dismissed the Raptor's from getting it. I hope I'm wrong but I bet we'll be next.

Im having lots of issues with sync 4 and OTA updates (none) and my truck is 10 months old. Can someone that has access look up my VIN to see what updates I am missing? thanks in advance

Damn you have a bunch of updates available

Thank you Fordphanatic. I have had my truck into the dealer 4 times now for sync issues and each time my problems are worse. I wish Ford would train their service folks with this new technology. I now dont have ford pass working anymore and lost my navigation abilities. Im not sure what I can do now except open a formal complaint with corporate on how messed up the service is for these new trucks.

So I have done some updating once I got past the 1.7.1 issue. 2 GWM and an APIM and TCU, sccm etc. The one I haven't done yet is the IPC. I am assuming this is the one that showed up in the beginning of feb. From what I have seen, it took a long time to update for people (like 6 hours for some). Is this one not a usb style and CAN only? Just checking to see if I want to tackle it tonight before my license expires or pay again later when I have more time. Don't really feel like staying up late again (already did last night catching up )

Do the updates yourself. Start at the very beginning of this thread and read it it tells you exactly step-by-step how to do the updates and what programs and equipment you need. You will get the most satisfaction out of just tackling it yourself because the dealerships have no idea what the hell they're doing

It offered to update the IPC using USB, but i got stuck in the restart loop and chose to just use CAN method.

My concern as well... I am almost physically sick at this point. I really did have a truck I liked and met my needs. I WANTED BlueCruise type capabilities (son has a Tesla) and Ford was my only option when I ordered in Jan 2021. The promise was 3Q so July Aug... or September at the worst - a 4-6 month wait.

First Ford since a surplus 1972 Ford Galaxie 500 police interceptor in 1977. 44 years. Given this experience I will be investigating my next F150 in 2065. Bets on Bluecruise finally being available?
