I don't believe OTA is limited to modules on the ethernet network. The GWM can deliver an update to modules over CAN according to :

I wonder if this might explain why those that reported that they set a "schedule" for OTA suddenly succeeded at getting the APIM update, while others that did not set up a schedule haven't? If I am reading this correctly, some updates, those that would require the truck NOT to be driven while...

If it was an APIM update you might need to cycle the truck a couple of times. (shut down and open the driver's door) If that doesn't kick it clean, soft boot the APIM? (hold the radio off button and seek-forward button simultaneously until the screen goes dark)

I skipped the suggestion the first attempt, but FRDS failed to work. The second time I downloaded the VCI software and installed it. FRDS was functional and really stable afterwards. I don't know if any typical user is going to have a computer already prepared to run FRDS without the VCI...

Ahhhh. That explains that! I have the factory service manual. I suppose it will clear up which modules are available over ethernet and which aren't? What's amazing about that is how would a customer ever know that there is an update for the driver's seat module? (for example) When I...

You would just need to check that the "KingRanch Chrome Package" was unchecked. By default you DO get chrome handles, but if you meant what I think you meant by "non chrome KR", that IS unchecking the chrome package. Which results in the 2-tone King Ranch, painted bumpers and handles and mirror...

I shouldn't guarantee that you can't "brick" something doing this with FRDS, but I don't think the probability is very high. Just have the truck on a charger, make sure your laptop is stable and plenty of battery power and you shouldn't be vulnerable. The only other aspect that could...

A really good "mechanic", someone with experience and the natural talent for diagnosing and repairing your internal combustion engine, transmission, clutch, brakes, differential........ I mean a real deal guy...... Can you imagine him being the same guy with this skill set? Or even wanting to...

I only had minor Forscan changes previous to the host of updates I applied. Double-honk & dash gauge temperature values. I did not lose either change. I did them months ago, so your explanation sounds accurate. :)

Hmmmmm I was at that build and revision and did not experience those symptoms. I wonder if there are other modules that need to be "match up" to get everything to work? I ask because when I update my APIM I am required to update my TCU as well.

After my APIM and TCU updates I am Sync 21281 revision 244 So although FRDS says I'm up to date, I'm short a small bump to get to 21283 rev244. Unless that was a typo?

My pleasure. I owe. Big time. I noticed that your APIM update has a little bit different file manifest than mine. I would assume since FRDS reads the onboard APIM first, and then downloads the proper Payload for the update, that your truck requires a bigger jump than mine? My truck had...

That's the FordPass App for Android/IPhone

Here ya go

Yep. Agreed. I think that progress marches forward even if it trips and stumbles in that direction. Someday in the future there will be a service bay that does not need a 2-post lift or a giant roll around Snap-on toolbox. Rather it will be equipped with a few large screen monitors, a few...

I scanned but only ended up with As you know, those two updates are there even if you have already applied them. (twice ?) By the way, guess what showed up today? THIS is what I REALLY wanted! Everything else was icing on the cake. I'm a happy old man with all his "stuff" working now.

How do you gurus know all this stuff? I'm going to go scan in a few minutes. I have just a few more hours of access license left. :) I can see this becoming a bit too much "I wonder if there's anything new?" ?

It feeeeels brand new! (which is hilarious because it's still a 2021 with only 5000 miles) My daughter thinks I have lost my mind because I'm trading the truck in as soon as my special order arrives. But that can take months! And besides, the next fella that owns this one will inherit a perfect...

Ummmm, actually as much as I might root for Texas, we legally still require a front plate. I live rural though, and for whatever reason I don't get called on it. It could be I'm old and wearing a cowboy hat? ??

You'd be welcomed and I'd be happy to help. Probably could get one of the kids (in their 30's) to fire up the grill too. It's a little chilly the last couple of days, but we could work in the barn to get out of the wind. :)
