ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Snakebitten]

So did your sync version go up as of last?

Yes
So it appears that us Powerboost'rs without Bluecruise do indeed receive the APIM and GWM update that triggers BC for the BC folks afterall. I wasn't expecting that.

I just completed my powerboost’s updates for APMI, TCU, GWM, IPC and everything else after several hours. I am now at this version. I also see they have revamped the updates page in Sync also.

Progress!
I think you are 2 APIM updates away from the current finish line.

I rescanned and its not showing any new APIM updates to complete. Will these additional updates populate FDRS after some time? Only the last one I ran is showing up.

I don't know exactly how the mothership mechanism works, but yea, at some point in the near future, hours/days, they just become available.
Last weekend I was 100% updated.
And it was a version beyond your version.
Then yesterday I just scanned out of curiosity, and a fresh pair of APIM/GWM popped up.

I know what you are thinking...... 2-day license doesn't work well for that mechanism? You're absolutely correct.

My last two APIM

My last two APIM didn't show until I completed my IPC update.

you read my mind. My 2 day license expires today….

2-day FDRS license = digital-heroin
$50 a hit
Ford's OTA model is the new cartel ??

Thanks. I did complete that IPC today as well. I'll give it some time and hopefully one of the updates show before my license expires today.

FYI

Issue: Some 2021-2022 F-150/Mach-E vehicles equipped with BlueCruise may experience loss of BlueCruise hands-free driving mode availability. This may be due to an expired BlueCruise map file in the gateway module (GWM). To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to update the GWM.

Interesting that this document states that you should reconnect the USB drive to your PC (FDRS) before continuing with a USB update. I wonder if there are any implications to not doing it that way? What has everyone been doing, connected or disconnected before continuing?

@JEB @Jesse-Infotainment @Jaug You guys are hands-down the freaking best! The problem was my laptop. Updating gateway module now.

For those of you who are WAY ahead of me in updates, how many DSM updates were there? I did PMI on my module and retested multiple times, power running boards won’t respond. Wondering if there is another update ahead.
