DON'T USE THIS ON NON-NAV UNITS... not that it will work anyway. Will just give an error popup saying it is the wrong update. Just saving those who will try anyways and waste their time. lol

If anyone is interested, Walt Sweeney Ford Parts has the GJ7Z-19A387-B (white light) module; http://www.waltsweeneyfordparts.com/
I saw it online and called them to verify it was in stock, parts guy said they have about 20 on hand right now. He said the 'blue light' version is still on back order. I completed my online checkout and got a shipping notice about an hour later.

Ok it is time to spill the beans...I spent about 12 hours today messing with this stuff today.
Ford had ditched V1.1 a couple weeks ago on the dealer side but it was back this morning after the weekly Saturday night downtime. I decided to check different vehicle lines and found that some 16 Lincoln's with V1 were eligible for V2.2 upgrade on the dealer side. I did "legitimate" dealer upgrades on the bench to one nav and one non-nav unit. The NAV unit went flawless. A beautiful upgrade. I saved the USB upgrade for this.
Then I did the Non-Nav. Failure....it ran out of "space" for the update. For those that don't know the non-nav units have an 8GB daughter board inside and the NAV units have 32 GB daughter boards in them. So figuring that the update applications and existing applications together were taking up too much room I split the non-nav update in half. Messy but it gets the job done. I tested this on 3 bench units successfully.
The non-nav update will only work on 16 models (V1 and 1.1). It fails on 17s that came with V2.0. I suspect the memory structure is different in the 17 non navs than the 16 non navs. I will probably take one apart and see what size is on the daughter board.
The nav update works on 16 and 17 nav units (1.0,1.1,2.0,2.1).
BTW I checked the owner site for those same Lincolns and no dice on a download there.

Quoted wrong post, I apologize. I'll test the non-nav version if you're still looking for anyone.
