Lesson learned. Do NOT mention the NASTF login requirement when asking your Ford dealership to install this BCM update as that's likely to confuse the SAs/Techs and waste time.
To recap for those late to the party:
1. Verify the BCM update is available for your vehicle through FDRS.
2. When...
Well...after two weeks of phone tag with the Service Team at Serra Ford, I was told today their Ford FSE's have instructed them NOT to install the BCM on my vehicle because it's "not supported." So, since their FSE advised against this, they are unwilling to install this update for me...
Question is in the title - Has anyone successfully had a Ford Dealer install Walk Away Lock (WAL) by installing the BCM update in FDRS that requires the NASTF username/password?
If so, how did you get them to install it? Was there a cost? If so, how much?
It's amazing to me how little the...
I can't say for the dealer, but if you're willing to DIY, there's a fix via FDRS for the small camera in this post and the following response via Forscan. I ran into this issue after some FDRS updates last month and that solution worked...I did not test the Forscan update to fix this...
I just got the UI update OTA. Are you saying Walk Away Lock should work? Or is this only if you did the BCM update via FDRS (and have the magic username/password required)?
That's exciting! Just to confirm, this is the APIM update and it's effectively a UI update only?
As soon as we confirm there's a way to get around the credentials for installing Walk Away Lock (BCM), I'll gladly get another 48-hour license to install these items.
I purchased the one linked in this post for the IPMA update and I’m glad I did. In the nearly 3 hours it took, it was regularly pulling more than 60A.
2 additional observations following my installation last night of all available updates in my 22 Lightning (except for BCM).
1. FDRS Not Logging In - After finishing up the Lightning, I started pushing all available updates to my MME and FDRS randomly lost connection for some reason. At around...
I just noticed this as well in my nearly identical truck (22 Lariat ER) today. @Hanqry1 did this resolve on its own or did you try the 12v suggestion above?
I just bought a 48 hour license and ran a bunch of the updates on my lightning and came up with a few Questions that I've been unable to find clear answers to from my searches:
1. Clearing Error Codes? - After running a bunch of updates, aren't you supposed to clear some error codes or...
Awesome! I'm planning to do some updates as soon as I get some time. Is there anyway to identify which update that is from my VIN? I have yet to get it updated to BC 1.3, which is what I was planning to do anyway sometime soon now that I have a more powerful battery supply.
Does this mean lock away lock IS available from this update?
I'm searching through the forums, but haven't found anything definitive yet...also, I've got a 22 Lariat, so I'm hoping this vehicle won't be excluded if/when it is made it available to older vehicles....
For those that have the INC100 - what mode do you use when running FDRS updates? Service or Flash Reprogram?
The specifications on their webpage indicates that "Output Current: Service/13.5V,0-70A,Boost/14.4V,0-70A,Flash/13-14.8V,0-70A cont,100A int" - so I'm curious what people who have...
@Aminorjourney I incorporated your remote start scripts into my HA instance for my two vehicles (MME and Lightning), which is great because before I was just initiating the ignition on switch only without a refresh. Great results, so thank you again for starting this thread!
With that said...
Did you end up finding a solution after getting your truck?
I've got two car seats in the back, so using the fold up divider that's built in isn't practical day-to-day. I've been looking at under seat storage bags, like this one, but it looks too tall for this space when the divider is folded...
