So we are good to go forward with IPMA? I’m gonna buy mongoose today then.

Yes, good to go. Just remember:

This is what I was waiting for as well. Many thanks to the community at large here. If I could send you some BTC as a 'thank you' I would.

Mongoose sales guy gonna be like "WTF happened today!?"

I last updated my truck with FDRS back in mid December to get BC 1.4 and did the FORScan settings as well. Have not got a new 48 hr license since then. Anyone seeing anything good or a reason to set it back up once all this dang snow melts?

If you update all the modules, do you need to also activate via Forscan for bluecruise 1.4 to work?

Yes, good to go. Just remember:

The PSA’s just keep coming!-

So reading the ICE forum it appears the brokeness may be due to seatbelts not being buckled? Maybe a new requirement Ford added to this module update?

If so, are we clear to update IPMA again? (I don’t have a cable but was considering borrowing one).

We can do it in the snow tomorrow!
I really want to see how the Lightning handles the ice/snow!

Yes, FDRS alone won't activate it.

 

[Pitbull2o08]

Yes, FDRS alone won't activate it.

Are there further risks with Forscan?

Depends on who you ask. Many people are scared of FORScan (and rightfully so). However, this is easy. Just a few config changes. As long as you back up the congif for the two modules you'd be making changes to first or at the very least document what is there before you change it in case you need to go back, you'll be fine.

yeah i did it in my 2011. i'm not sure why i'm so hesitant. i guess because the truck is supposed to be updated regularly by ford but if i'm doing them myself i guess who the hell cares.

I've never done any Forscan mods before, so while I know my way around computers, it was all new to me and I managed just fine.

Backup your data before applying, measure/check twice, cut/apply once.
