I went back and looked through the 5 posts you made and saw this. Let me ask you a question, have you tried another 64GB USB stick maybe a USB 3.0 one?
USB inserted and never kicked off. Have driven it multiple times, however have only given it a day or two vice the weeks some have given. Similar to what I've seen others experience. Eventually it is supposed to just kick off at some point and everything is good from there on out. My understanding from reading the TSB and looking at the procedure referenced by it in FDRS is 22-2117 resets APIM and TCU tables which is supposed to fix whatever is preventing 1.7.1 from starting from USB. I have the referenced symptoms:
I was probably a little hasty in posting that because it was very late at night. Traced that issue to bad wifi. Eventually FDRS downloaded all of the required files including the "error" ones and prompted me to create the USB. It's a 128GB USB 3.0 exFAT formatted with no files on it. Which is when nothing happened. I'll keep driving around with it inserted in the meantime and see if it finally goes.
It's going in my guide. Right now it's only limited to the IPC and APIM modules. I've tagged @Livnitup in a previous post as there have been several reported issues I helped resolve based on the error that popped up during the updates.
i believe the one that hit me was changing the IPC to prevent the truck from turning off after 30 minutes idle in park.
I feel like dealing with a U2100 on the IPC is like trying to figure out a cat.
The good news is that with the Mongoose, you are standing at the plate with a bat that is capable of batting 1000
I'm debating keeping mine once its all topped off. I'd think there will be "updates" even for things that don't get tickled by the OTA.The good news is that with the Mongoose, you are standing at the plate with a bat that is capable of batting 1000
It's so much nicer knowing that you can use FDRS without avoiding network scans.
Just don't rush FDRS each time you cycle the key off/on. Let the network wake up and finish all the handshakes before any mouse clicks on the laptop.
this is the key. i had zero issues and i followed the "slow and steady" process.The good news is that with the Mongoose, you are standing at the plate with a bat that is capable of batting 1000

This is the boat I'm sitting in. Sit around waiting for (potentially) a month with a USB stick, fearing that I'll somehow miss the "magic button" while backing up, using Nav, or doing things that one would normally do in a vehicle versus buying more goofy cables, FDRS licenses, and tollerating the sad looks from my wife and kids when they walk by and we have this conversation:
i dont know that we have that answer yet. but one day, you'll either 1) get an update notification, or 2) see someone else here that is getting OTAs, so we will have the answer soon enough
