ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Warp Asylum]

It's definitely ping-ponging. I had the APIM update appear in my list sometime in September. It was still there on Nov 26 but gone on Nov 27th. Had it checked today and it was back. Then tonight I got the 10.1.0 update which I believe might be the APIM. I'll ask someone to check tomorrow but I wouldn't be surprised if it's gone again. My Sync version is now 24127 which I believe is the latest. I have the Public Charging and Stingray karaoke app.

Hold off on the license, you may be getting it OTA.
EDIT; catching up and saw you got 10.1.0. See if it clears the APIM.

Yep, weird stuff. I was going to buy a license and update it tonight but then got the OTA on the way home from Costco lol.

Works for me!

I guess I should have also asked what was it on before, too. Just scan the truck and see if the APIM is still there or if it cleared and something else popped up in its place.

Yeah, I should have checked prior but did not so I don’t know what version I was on. I don’t remember if I took a pic of it before I look back through, but no big deal thanks.

As I stated earlier, it updated something because I had these icons (top left)until the “failed“ update

Tried it again and it went through successfully did not change my Sync version though? (What is the current highest version of SYNC?)
30 minutes into IPMA…. Hopefully this one is not as long as the first one, but at least I have the proper power supply this time.
On a sidenote, I do love my fold down armrest/console for doing these updates.

I am old school and like a physical mouse!
I seem to click on the wrong stuff when I use the touchpad so the mouse makes it easier!

The highest available is 24127, but it has not been released for all vehicles yet. If you're on Sync 23306 and there are no more APIM, GWM, TCU or IPC updates showing, then you have gotten as far as you can get for now until Ford releases the next batch of updates for your VIN.

IPMA will take 2.5-3 hours.

Has anyone used the Ford VCM 3? And what are the advantages/differences between that and the J2534 pass-through type?

It writes faster than the Mongoose....that's it.

Yeah, I figured it would take that long again…

So instead of 2 1/2 to 3 hours for these updates maybe half of that or do you know?

I know what gift I'm bringing you at our next meetup! Two hours ago, I was cleaning out a drawer and decided to throw this away. Not now. It's yours as a backup. Even faded yellow like yours! And PS/2 compatible.

 

[Scorpio3d]

Hahaha…
That is absolutely Hilarious I must’ve laughed for two minutes! I probably still have the PS/2 adapter somewhere! Yes, I am a pack rat!
I do have newer and smaller (better looking)mice but this one’s great to just throw around. If I drop it in the driveway or something, it’s no big loss.
I just thought about I could put under my frunk to scare away the real mice-so if they try to move in again, they will realize it’s already occupied!

Wow, is it your lucky day! Cleaned out those also. Both PS/2 to USB and PS/2 to 9-pin serial for those really old laptops. How many should I bring you?

And to stay on topic, Ford mobile tech did my IPMA in 42 minutes.

I believe it does it in about half the time, yes. However, for the difference in price, the Mongoose and 3 hours is just fine by me. lol

Wow! Looks like you are a pack rat as well
May have to look into the VCM 3!
Do you know if that’s what he used?
