I tested the firmware fix for this adapter with a special test version of FORScan by flashing 2019 IPC firmware files (65.97mb) to a cluster. As far as firmware file sizes go, this is considered a large comprehensive flash. I also tested the OBDLink EX against the other adapters below using the same cluster and firmware files for comparison and below are the times each adapter took to complete the flash.

1. OBDLink EX - 1 hour 46 mins
2. Bosch VCMII - 1 hour 14 mins
3. ELS27 - incomplete (after 5 hours 37 mins this adapter was only at 47% so I terminated the flash)
4. UCDS - 1 hour 20 mins (this flash using FORScan caused FORScan to crash twice so the firmware time shown is with using UCDS software)

Most of you will never flash firmware so these results may be irrelevant but my reason for posting is to show what a bargain the OBDLink EX adapter is for $40 compared to the prices for J2534 adapters. I performed all these firmware flashes in a controlled environment on a workbench and not in my truck so if I were to brick the cluster used then it wouldn't have mattered as I have several clusters at my disposal. That said, I highly caution anyone against flashing firmware if you're not prepared for the worst case scenario of possibly bricking a module.
Does this mean you might be able to upgrade the IPC firmware on the raptors to give them the measurements screens on the 19+? I think a lot of people would be interested in that if possible

I could upgrade a 2017-18 Raptor IPC firmware with the '19 firmware with measurements but it remains to be seen if all of the measurements would populate correctly on a pre-2019 Raptor. I'm trying to sell a 2019 Raptor 8" cluster on the Raptor forums to someone with a 2018 801A to confirm this but so far there's no takers despite me guaranteeing a refund if the measurements don't work.

Default Ant update?

I haven't got a chance to even start mapping out values or see what does/doesn't work or play around yet but hopefully in the coming days/weeks I will.

Looks GREAT!!!

Have you had any luck on mapping out how to get these to appear on an updated 3.4 (from 3.3)?

Thanks

I've mapped the newer APIM addresses here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1479139836

So the massaging seats on my platinum, when I first purchased it, you could press the middle button on the side seat controls, massaging would start and if I recall correctly the sync display would pop up to the seat app so you could make adjustments, but massaging was on from the moment you pressed the button on the seat.

Now when I press the button on the seat, massaging doesn’t start, but instead the sync seat app pops up and I must select massage before the massaging function starts. I assume I changed something in ForScan to cause this?

That's great. Thanks again!! Your hard work is appreciated.

Is it as easy as setting 7D0-09-02 xxxx xxxx x*xx to enable Centre Stack? Or is there a lot more playing around needed?

Thanks

Although I mapped out the newer addresses, I have not gone though each feature to see what does/doesn't work on the F150 but I've been told that the Centre Stack item needs to be enabled for a lot of the other items to actually display.

Not necessarily; it could have been a WIFI or dealer update to SYNC that Ford thought was a better idea to change the way it operated.

On my 2016 Platinum they still work the way you described first. I hit the center button and the massage starts the screen changes so I can adjust it if I want. Not sure what happened to yours, I have the heated and cooled icons on the Sync display which work or the hard button works. I am at the latest build of Sync not 3.4

Is this on both seats?
