BCM Update | Restricted Update

[artificial_airspeed]

Hello, I’ve searched some of the common FDRS threads regarding the restricted dealer-only BCM update. Will this update ever be in an OTA update or is it something we’ll need to specifically ask for at dealer maintenance?

When I got, it was a full systems update. It took the dealer two days. I think it’s a lower-level system than the OTA stuff.

They probably did more. The BCM is like a 5min update. Sure Ford will push it out OTA "soon" since the 24's have WAL.

Quite possible.

As PJnc284 said the BCM software is a quick update. Ford added the restriction in FDRS to this update to curb auto theft apparently. This keeps anyone in the public from just buying a cheap 72hr subscription to re-key a vehicle. FORScan is a ripoff of FDRS from Russia, so of course it can still do the update like with every other module, but you'll need the firmware files.

It will come OTA......eventually.
