Software Updates
Only took me an hour to sell it once I was done but I already had it lined up before I bought it. My in-laws company has all new Ford F-150 trucks and they always have me modify them with Forscan so I got them to buy the adapter from me and they can use for their Fleet. If they didn't buy it I would probably go the return route and just choose didn't need it anymore. You're not lying and choosing didn't work or damaged you just don't need it anymore but to each their own. I am sure sure if someone on here bought it they could probably rent it out to other members and eventually get their money back pretty quickly.
Also they stated that software version 21223_PRODUCT, Revision 197 is the latest Sync version... I have a build date of nov/dec 2021.
@Livnitup Well I took my truck to the dealership. They were like yeah we can update all the software. I printed out the list above and even gave it to them. In the afternoon I called for an update. Well you were already up to date, no updates available. They told me the things above are not software updates but downloads if something goes wrong. Any truth to that?

You need a battery charger to keep the battery at 12.5v or higher, the programming cable and the FDRS license. All together it's around $600. I would read through the guide and see if you want to do it or not. It is really easy just time consuming and plan on not being able to use your truck for the day while it's updating.

It's been almost 2 weeks since the dealership did my "updates".
Since I left the dealership BlueCruise has been functional (and pretty nice the few times I got to go hands-free!). So, at least that's the good news.
But since then, until tonight, the bed camera had resulted in a blue screen. Magically it started working. Go figure! (Someone else had mentioned that theirs was also blue-screening after the dealer-performed updates but started working a few days later, so in this case patience paid off.)
What's still wonky is that when I go to connected services (I'd say on the app or on the web, but that's redundant, because in the FP app it just loads the web page), BlueCruise is still listed as "Available" and when I click on "Activate" I get an ERR_3000. I finally called the 800 number for BlueCruise support to inquire about this. It has been "escalated" and I should expect a response in 3-5 business days.
@Livnitup or @rugedraw (or any of the other kind souls) could you please see what you see for my VIN - 1FTFW1EDXMFB06341?
