The car was on and at the screen that allows you to modify paak settings. If there was something that said “don’t touch this without your key fob” I would have considered it differently. I didn’t click “remove the ability to turn the car on like you just did using a password” I clicked remove...

Interesting. Neither my wife or I noticed this so I have trouble believing it’s an obvious warning… I’m pretty detail oriented but maybe in the panic of the situation and the frustration with the garbage technology reliability on these trucks I missed it. There should be big red letters saying...

Well, I’m stranded with my truck two hours from home because of phone as a key being a piece of junk. even though my phone was connected to my truck enough that CARPLAY worked and I could open the door locks with the FordPass app, the vehicle told me No Key Detected and I had to enter the...

This actually happens a lot because Ford's servers are GARBAGE. I had brought mine in a few weeks ago and the FDRS servers were down for two straight days and they couldn't do software updates or diagnostics on anything... Had to bring it back this week.

I just said, "I heard about people doing these updates at home without connecting the 12volt to a really strong power supply and bricking the car. I'm glad y'all are doing it here since I know you have the proper setup to do it the right way"

Where do you live that you can get a service appointment the next day?? I’m jealous.

Oh my god this was written for my truck! I’ve had weird and annoying issues like all of those listed since I got this thing. loud static during phone calls Disconnecting carplay the navigation system randomly navigating to an address I’ve never entered Camera freezing My truck is in the shop...

I've got the BCM update that requires the special lock smith login or whatever. It seems that there are two other updates that I keep running and completing but they won't actually leave the list, so I wonder if they are dependent on the BCM update... Any workarounds for the login needed for...

A close out and restart of the computer did it...

I was doing fine with updates and was able to complete the big IPMA but then I was doing some smaller updates and the Ford login page started popping up telling me to login... I tried entering my credetntials and it just kept popping up the same screen after I hit submit. Tried exiting and...

Thank you for clearing those things up for me! Wasn’t thinking straight about how the charger converts AC to DC… Dumb of me. So, I actually wasn’t using the power supply mode because the instruction manual says do not use that for reprogramming modules. Which I found very confusing. It would...

So I killed my 12 volt about 75% through an IPMA update… I have a Solar Pro-Logix 20amp power supply that I thought was plenty for keeping the voltage up but guess I was wrong… Now I’ve just had it sitting here trying to charge the battery but it seems to be hovering at 6.3-6.5 volts and not...

Awesome. I have FDR S but haven’t used forscan yet. Is it easy to figure out how to turn those things on?

I wouldn’t care so much about how behind Tesla Rivian it is in responsiveness if it just wasn't so horribly buggy. Mine: randomly navigates to destinations I’ve never entered Freezes the screen while using the backup camera Disconnects wireless CarPlay and won’t connect through wired as a...

I didn’t think bluecruise 1.3 had been made available to anyone on Lightning, so I didn’t think it was available through fdrs… you have the automatic lane changes and lane centering that moves over for trucks next to you?
