Phone as a Key issue

[Mike G]

With the Mach-E, I've heard of updates showing up in FDRS that weren't actually compatible with the car and could cause issues if installed. Is that something we need to worry about with the Lightning too?

It has happened, got reported right away, and was normally corrected within hours.

Could it happen on the Lightning? Yes.

We have lots of folks who wait for the canary in the coal mine to update first to see if anything's gonna break.

But only for the last 60 days

Well still I've gotten three on the OTA dashboard. Two successes and one failure. I did one of them with FDRS so the OTA failed.

I've had zero OTAs on my Mach-E for literally the last year by contrast.

How are you checking this. Is that using a online or in truck check?

Here's the list as of now:

The BCM/FHCM pair showed up the same day (8 Oct).

I think you're waiting for that RFA update for PAAK to be enabled. At least that's what it took for it to work on mine.

FDRS pulls from the Ford servers. It's not something you can check in the truck.

@Mike G if you are in FDRS again soon would you mind pulling another list for VIN 1FTVW1EV3NWG03253. My PAAK finally rolled in yesterday and I received 3.5.5. I'm curious how many of these they might have applied or how many are still outstanding. I know I need to buy a Mongoose, but then I'm afraid I'll spend $50 every time another module update shows up.

Here's the list:

Picking the PCM will start the update of all the other updates with the exception of the WACM. They were all coordinated when I did them. The WACM is a separate stand-alone.
