Add Charge enhanced charge settings

[Jesse-Infotainment]

It does add the Tesla chargers to search and it seems to make the advance charge works.
Not FORST hand on the charge settings but I can confirm the Tesla charger adapter settings being there now

I need to get someone to check my vin in fdrs to see if/what updates I’ve got. If so I’d be willing to split a subscription with someone to make it a bit more cost effective.

This is great news and something I have been waiting for since NACS support rolled out. If we can use the native nav and have it vector to Tesla Superchargers then we get the other nice things like preconditioning and the ability to monitor the fast charge remotely (I.e., when we stop at a charger and go use the bathroom).

Questions for those more knowledgeable than me. If you have made modifications to the ASBUILT data for modules in Forscan, some of which were for APIM, do they revert back with an APIM firmware update? Do they cause issues with new features Ford is rolling out? I have a number of changes I have put in place over time to have additional options show up and hope by doing so I do not shoot myself in the foot.

That being said I am going to grab a PTS subscriptio and see if my 23 has these updates, and then do them this morning. I will report back here. PTS is fairly cheap.

As far as splitting the cost for PTS, I think that now violates the TOS and they have welded the ban hammer on those checking many remote VINs from a single system. I think we each have to spring for our own licenses. I think though if you were local to someone with an FDRS license, they could connect to your truck, in person and not violate the TOS, since this is its intended use. But PTS being remote, may be sn issue with many VINs unless you are a dealer.

Update, as was mentioned nothing for <2024 trucks. I just checked my truck in PTS and there are no APIM updates. There is an update that supposedly fixes an active airdam DTC and associated other modules but none of the “good stuff”.

Has anyone that has a 24 or newer, got the new APIM and tried the advanced charging app? Wondering if it works any better.

No change in behavior after the latest OTA APIM / Sync version out this week. Controls have a different look but still doesn't save the settings. I have other modules that need updates. All of those that Jesse listed have updates available.

Planning to try and update via FDRS in a few weeks. Thought I would give it a week or two to settle down on OTAs since they have started up again.
