Took mine in for oil change & miscellaneous stuff, mentioned the wiper recall. They said they had no parts and that they'd contact me when they did. It's been a couple months now.

Welp, today is the day. I've got my Mongoose Plus, my Pro-Logix 20A charger w/power supply mode, my 2 day FDRS subscription, and I just started updating the 'ole girl.

I was already up to 3.5.2 from back in OCT 2022, but had not received any updates since then. So, I will let ya'll know how things go and what she looks like after these SW updates are all applied:

Yes, please let us know how it goes. I got 3.5.2 on Oct 8th and nada since. I already have a mongoose that I used once, so if you have success, please advise as I might even give it a go.

Everything is going very well thus far.

Every module that had an update available except APIM has been successfully updated.

For what it's worth, time from start to finish for each module:

ABS ~4 minutes
CMR ~47 minutes
WACM ~2 minutes
GSM ~3 minutes
BCM ~7 minutes
APIM is at just over an hour and counting, still copying the ~5GB of files to the USB drive

EDIT: APIM took ~2.5 hours total via USB 3.0 drive. About 40 minutes to D/L the files, an hour to get them on the USB drive, 20 minutes to get them from the USB to the truck, then the rest for clean-up and waiting for messages. Not to bad, all considered.

Same here (almost same date, IIRC). That's exactly why I popped for the hardware and subscription to get it done.

She's all up to date. Took ~3.5 hours for the modules I had outstanding. Now I have Alexa, pseudo-full screen Android Auto and everything else.
