Battery tender connected the whole time set to AGM battery, headlight switch to off, and a prayer to the OTA gods. That one is the hardest one to get to go through. Keep trying until it happens.

Successfully installed. No other OTA's in queue for the time being.

 

I have a Job 1 2021 302a Xlt, with 360 cameras, non ACC. Last week when checking for update via FDRS, there was a new GWM update, when i checked again today, that GWM update was gone. And i did not get the update through OTA, could it have been a bad update and they removed it? Or, why would it disappear off FDRS.

 

Update this morning

 

Wonderful. I installed it. I hope it didn't hose something. Ford needs to get their sh*t together.

 

You sure weren't lying. I tried twice last night while connected to the charger with no luck. I left the charger on it all night, still failed this morning. I may need a charger with more amps.

 

Yea, I've been following this thread for months, and you aren't anywhere near the first or the last to have issues with that particular update. I believe you want 10 amps minimum. It's really a PITA.

 

So just got the truck out of a dealer that was there 3 weeks. They said they got some things to update but not everything and they had 2 parts on order (on backorder) and would try again when they came in. Still do not see the truck received any OTA updates but can someone rerun the VIN and see if anything looks like it got updated while in there

Yea they worked on your truck plenty and did plenty of updates. However, they got stuck on an APIM update so no BlueCruise for you. See notes from the tech below:

'While attempting bluecruise FSA the APIM would not update, attempted APIM update repair process multiple times with different computers using all recommended adaptors per TSB for module repair process, APIM has no attempts left for the update repair process replacement of APIM necessary to complete the bluecruise update."

Now your APIM is locked out for at least 20 days before they can try again, or they have to order another one which I can tell you are on backorder. I also see they never performed the IPC update on your truck that is needed for BlueCruise, so I think you still have ways to go. But, they genuinely tried. I would reach out to @Jesse - Infotainment for help. From the knowledge I've gained following these issues, he may have a file he can send you that you install on a USB flash drive. You then leave the USB stick inserted in your truck for weeks if necessary, and eventually the truck will recognize it and it will install the fix for that issue. That won't resolve the issue of your IPC not being updated. I see they did several network scans and if the IPC update would have popped up, I'm sure they would have done it. It could be your truck has more than one issue preventing these updates from working. What a sh*t show.

I don't see Jesse on here very often. You may want to try reaching out to him on the F150gen14 forum. I'm not a tech or an expert, but from what I have learned, if you want your truck fully updated, be prepared to put in some work and shell out some money for the tool necessary to do it.

 

The 9th time was the charm. The OTA gods must have taken pity on me. Somehow it actually went thru on just a 5 amp charger. I had it plugged in almost nonstop for about 24 hours. Now I guess I can cancel my order for the new charger.

 

Thanks for your help and I will reach out. They told me that they had ordered 2 parts (chips) that were backordered to eternity but that when they could get them they would rety the entire process. I will say seems the work and updates they did seems to have bricked lane keeping (the system one step under blue cruise). I also still do not have camera operational at high speeds or adjustment to cruise control speed limit which were both in recent updates. I will definately see about that usb file and give it a try as I await the parts.

Thanks
