ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Fordphanatic]

I really don't feel like working and my impulse control is getting the best of me I think I'm going to buy a license...

Do it..I will follow your lead and leave work. This oil refinery will be here tomorrow.

What a waste of $50... I loaded up FRDS and the Prep feature wasn't even shown. So those of you with the option I wouldn't wait around. Ford might have accidentally released it and pulled it back.

@iceman77 Can you run my VIN again and see if it still shows for you? If it does then it's based on the region.

Yup, its gone on my side as well! Did you happen to run full network scan or just downloaded your "cloud" setup in FDRS as described here ?

It's gone for my old Job 1 truck as well! It seems Ford has pulled the feature from FDRS. Bummer!

The first time I didn't do a full scan I skipped it

It's gone from mine as well. Sorry guys if I got anyone's hopes up, just seemed to good to pass up.

I should have just bought the license and did it last night

I would have done it myself but I'm still trying to get my APIM & TCU updated and stuck in the restart loop. I figured throwing in BC crap on top of it might cause more problems.

I'm trying to set my expectations that this won't actually enable Bluecruise.
I still think we need an IPC update for this to work.
Maybe once it's complete it will unlock the IPC update in FRDS

I'm thinking the same thing...

It might be a good thing. Maybe there were issues with it or the IPC update that made them pull it back?

Or the engineer got antsy like we are and made it available by "mistake" then got yelled at!

Ok, word to the wise, DO NOT check out the eye candy walking by your driveway when doing this! I was curious like the rest of you and hooked up and noticed an update for the IPC (excitement was building) so I commenced and while in the process where the screen is up about success or failure I had my mouse pointer on the yes and when checking out this sweet looking honey walking by I accidentally hit the mouse pad and BOOM I got a failure, had a U2000 DTC... ugh. Anyways, I did a PMI and fully recovered after that and when I scanned again I had 2 new updates, the SCCM and the GWM so I ran those in hopes that the BC would show up figuring they pulled it because of those newer updates....but no. I'll check back later to see now that the mothership knows I'm good and maybe I'll get the BC option.

BTW, that mistake will get you soft real quick...

LMAO... on the eye candy thing!!!

I just checked FRDS for mine offline it doesn't show any updates for me. I wonder if I should just perform a PMI on my IPC to kick some shit in gear.
I really don't want to have to get another license for FRDS when Ford decides to trickle this out.

This thread has created an FDRS gang made up of all kinds. Some of Yaw border on outlaws. ??

I wound up buying a 30 day in case I did in fact have issues with my APIM as stated by the Ford Tech so too bad you live so far away. Here's the crazy thing about it, I called the dealer yesterday and told them I got the update to take and they were stunned so they insisted on reimbursing me the money! Made my day for sure.
