Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

[Pioneer74]

In addition to the camera button, it would be nice if the Mach-E update included a Frunk and Trunk button on the main screen.

I setup the powersupply

What power supply do use for FDRS updates? I've seen recommendations that a 20A supply is good enough, but also some people using dual 20s or even 100A. I have a 20A supply (Cloure PL2320) but wondering if I need something bigger if I pull the trigger on a Mongoose.

I’m ready to buy one.

Well a smart forum member on the Mach-E forum recommends two PL2320 in parallel. I wasn't smart enough to figure out that you could put two of those together, so I upgraded from one PL2320 to the PL6100.

Two PL2320 are a lot cheaper than one PL6100.

Done, purchased a mongoose and 2x PL2320s. Let the updating begin!

Good morning.

17 Dec and a new gateway (GWM) update popped up this morning. Only 163mb big.

So I'm guessing some small tweaks?

I'll post if I notice any changes this might have made.

I do like the new Sync interface and that Vol knob is now used for a lot of stuff. Makes things easier to adjust and read in a hurry.

From what I saw this morning on the Mach-E site the new Sync interface grants your wish!

I saw that too. The wife will be happy. The first question she had while picking her car up was "where is the button to pop the hatch"? In her Edge it was where the Max Defrost button is now.

Dealer just called me, they are at a stand still with my truck. They are telling me there are no updates available for my truck therefore my Connected Services features (Blue Cruise, Alexa, Ford Streaming and Navigation) all still say "Activation Pending" and they are not sure what to do to activate it. Any help or guidance that I can relay to the dealer would be so appreciated! They have my truck and had no loaners available so I am basically stranded until they figure it out. TYIA

How long have you had it? When I first received mine, the connected services weren't activated because the dealer hadn't filed the appropriate "warranty start date" stuff on their end. Once they did that, everything started working.

You ask @Mike G Very kindly to use FDRS and confirm they are telling you the truth about updates.

Thank you everyone! Will relay info do the dealer. We left off with them updating certain modules. Ford Connected Services rep also said to Reset Ford Pass on the infotainment.

Customer service rep also mentioned this was showing on their end, dealer seemed confused when I mentioned it though.

Wishing all a Happy Holiday season and safe BEVhauling!

Christmas Eve and another update.

This time it's an OBCC update. The OBCC is responsible for managing fast charging.

This update also appeared for my '21 Mach-E as well as a '22 Mach-E I looked up so it apparently is an across the board update.

No idea what it's intended to correct or enhance at this point. Will know more later.

Enjoy your day!
