Certification is done for each model year before updates like this are made available. In the past, particularly on the Mach-E, some of the updates were certified on older model years before the newer vehicles got the update. This is the rollout of Software Update 11. And as far as I know all...

I think it all depends on when each MY gets the update certified for release (testing certification).

That's great to hear that something is on the way for the 'big three'. It's been a while since anything came down for the GWM/APIM/TCU amigos.

I'm currently on PCM software NL3A-14C204-BCZ as the latest from October.

Okay..thanks

? Hmmm....even if the tokens are installed on like a GWM, APIM, or TCU? I thought you had to temporarily disable those first.

Oh and if you do buy a used Dell that originally came with Win10...you don't need to buy Windows for it to reinstall....just download it from Dell on a thumb drive and reinstall...then you can just automagically update it to Win 11 for free. I know that FDRS said it wanted Win 10 Pro...but that...

Ah...okay...as I said I was spitballin'...having had tokens on my MME before and knowing that you can't do updates with those installed...I thought that might have been part of the problem. Looks like it's going to need some higher level intervention from engineering, two FSEs with SWIS...

The "Local User Account" thing is becoming a lost art....since they really, really, really want you to login with some account they can tie to your profile to track you. It's still doable of course....used to be a way to completely evade logging in during the setup on Windows 10, but I gave up...

Well frankly if it’s got beta software on it there’s a possibility it’s got engineering tokens installed as well and they have to come off (get deactivated) before the software can get updated. I’m just spitballing here, but I’ve had tokens on my Mach-E and had to both install them and remove...

The hardware requirements are getting bumped up for laptops starting around the beginning of the year...must have 16GB. I don't know if this will be 'enforced' by the program refusing to run or not...that's unclear right now. Not a problem for me as I started with 32GB years ago...but I can...

On a related note....the FDRS (and IDS, FJDS, etc.) software is managed by Ford's affiliate Rotunda which is underpinned by Robert Bosch GMBH out of Germany. Many of you know this. They sell hardware, provide software, and manage backend services to facilitate the diagnostics and updates that...

I'm more than curious to know just why Ford Corporate won't help you with this. If the truck was a test mule it should probably have never left their test garage to be sold with beta software in the first place. Somebody ought to be able to elevate this concern to engineering and request your...

I've had the replacement done and I know others had had it done multiple times..each was warranty. Since they are doing another campaign I would assume they will replace it under that campaign if it's got water in it when they do the inspection under FSA 25SB6 (Safety Recall) when that's...

I'm wondering what exactly "According to Ford’s records, some of the affected vehicles may not have the remedy for Safety Recall 23S30 installed correctly." means..... I'm guessing either the instructions were vague...or the instructions were fine but weren't followed properly. Mine was...

When the Lightning first came out the Lariats in particular had to get an update to the BCM either by a tech at the dealership or eventually an OTA that adjusted the tire pressure alert level because it had been set wrong in the asbuilt data by the factory. I think that was one of the first...

Your login account is your license now. They've gotten rid of the 20 character license code altogether. So if your login gets blocked....you're blocked.

Doesn't matter what I tell them. And they just put you on 'ignore' anytime they want to. When I sent the email saying I'd agreed not to look up VINs for vehicles I was not in the presence of....you'd think that they'd respond and tell me my account was now enabled...right? Nope. No email...

Word of caution for those using IDS/FDRS: On the 20th of October my FDRS stopped working and I got an email saying my account had been suspended. I posted about that earlier. But later after I complied with the instructions to completely remove FDRS, VCI manager, and delete the Ford Motor...
