Sorry.....yea, I mixed things up. This is a step-process process. The BCM update gives you WAL and the APIM update gives you the button to turn it on/off.

For BC 1.4, it really only takes the IPMA update (if it works the way it is supposed to) to make it work. The APIM update for the toggles is not needed for lane change etc to work; just needed to be able to turn it on and off. The 3rd update I mentioned is only necessary if the IPMA OTA update...

The CarDaq is made by the same manufacturer that makes the Mongoose, but it is better than the Mongoose. It writes faster. The Bosch (if it's a VCM3) is also faster than the Mongoose. I believe the Mongoose is equivalent to a VCM2.

@RiqRod borrowed one of my Mongoose cables yesterday to update his truck. Coincidentally, Ford sent him this APIM update yesterday while he was updating other modules on his truck. He didn't get the toggles for WAL on his touchscreen, either. I plugged into his truck to make some other FORScan...

That's because you still need the BCM updated. Same thing is happening with people getting the APIM update that adds the toggles for lane change and the other BC 1.4 features, but they don't have the update for the IPMA to allow them to actually work.

Wouldn't be the first or the last time I see an OTA disable something it's supposed to enable. You can fix it with FORScan.

The Vlinker does work for programming.

That's from Ford's PTS website.

Not sure if this would affect BC. Just checked and your subscription says it is active and config seems to be correct. Not seeing an codes reported with any of the ADAS modules. Very strange indeed. I sent the VIN to Jesse. Hopefully he has some time to look a bit deeper than I can.

He mentioned that he tried checking that fuse earlier up in the thread. I'll message you the VIN so you can take a look, if you want.

You would need to do it for 20 minutes to do a true hard reset, but I don't think it'll help in your case. It won't hurt to try though.

You already tried all the easy stuff. Not that I can think of.

Got your message, but I'll post the response here for the sake of the info being out there. It does not seem like your issue will be fixed by a simple reset; not sure.....maybe @Jesse-Infotainment can chime in. The truck is reporting these codes relevant to your issue: Hard to say if the...

Message me the VIN.

Yes, but if he/she had to update other modules in order to get to the modules that needed to updated, that can be documented in the tech notes and they can bill Ford for additional labor time. Ford has a way of verifying that when they look at vehicle history; they can see exactly what the tech...

Yes, it works. FORScan is saying some people have had issues with it because VGate needs to fix something in their firmware and because they have not done it, they removed it from their "officially supported devices", but myself and many others still use it and have had no issues that I know of.

There are certain modules that require other modules to be updated before they can be updated. It's all excuses because nobody likes to work for free.

That (if applicable) willl not cover all the updates; just the sync modules.

Yes, they can, but even under warranty, Ford does not pay them to updates modules just because they are out of date. There would need to be a recall or a problem with the vehicle that an update will fix for them to do it.

They are in the automotive business and subscription business. Look at all the available subscriptions you can opt into. So yes, it would make business sense (to me) to add 1.5 to 2021-2025 trucks; especially the newer model years that have BC available to them in lower trims. We are talking...
