"Gas-guzzling EV" -- whoever said that in an earlier thread, that's spot on. I love my Lightning, and yeah I only use my bed for skis and sometimes a trash haul. Going downtown and trying to park is a PITA, so I steal my wife's car for that. And while I love driving this amazing, big...

Literally a day after I posted this, I woke up to BC 1.4 installed and running!

I got the WAL and the BC 1.4 toggles about a month ago. No BC 1.4 yet though. Wondering if I buy an FDRS license if the module will be available to update. Unfortunately Ford has cracked down on anybody else to look this up for me, as that is unauthorized “remote diagnostics”… So if anybody has...

Yes of course, and sadly it’s the worst part of the experience. If Ford discontinues the Lightning then that would suck because it’s the best vehicle I have ever owned.

Da fuk? I had to check this out and what a mistake that would be. I get they need to make money… but the Lightning (save for the OTA nonsense) is an amazing vehicle. This would be sad, there is no other EV I would want to buy from Ford. Guess the EV gods really want me to get the Cayenne EV...

Here's mine... 706-01-01 8E50 A219 AE56 706-01-02 0000 0000 0010 706-02-02 E47F CE00 0042 706-38-01 F8FB E000 0019 Not sure it's good ok to go in and just update these in Forscan, if there are critical module updates not yet installed? I suppose I could just keep waiting, now...

Yay, I finally got the update. Had to threaten the system by taking it to the dealer to check the LVB, because for weeks nothing was going through. I finally gave up trying to push it, always getting the dreaded failed to update message every morning. I guess going to the dealer smartened it up...

Will they replace the battery for free under any warranty? Or will you just eat the cost? If they cover it, any tips to get other dealers to do that?

Same issue. Sometimes I can override and try to redo the installation. Sometimes I cannot force it to update now and it only tries in the evening per the schedule. I have tried to force it after a long drive, no success. I have had very little luck with OTA updates, most of them I’ve had to do...

it also looked Like the Lightning had a delayed start in that one too. Would have been interesting to see the Lightning vs the Mustang Mach-e!

Mine is the constant request to keep eyes on the road - they ARE on the road!

Here you go! ODBLink CX Here's more info from the ABRP docs: https://abrp.featurebase.app/en/help/articles/7457755-choosing-an-obd-device

Paid version. And I bought the recommended ODBC bluetooth adapter to get real-time battery information into the app. There isn't much better than this app, although for some reason when I'm going to Tesla charging stations it doesn't properly connect to show the real-time status of the available...

Yeah but they won't do that unless they are being paid to do other things. I tried twice already - and they were even doing other things on my truck. So screw it, I don't really care so much about that feature to beg for it. Yet another failed experience with Ford (again, thankfully the driving...

It seems for me that in order to have the pleasure of software updates, I have to pay for an FDRS license and do it myself. I really don't know why Ford is so damn bad at this. Between this awful software experience and the laggy screen UI, not sure I would buy another Ford EV (which is sad...
