To see if anything seems up to date. My trucks Android auto and wireless app projection has seemingly stopped, active assist driving no longer works, and my Fordpass connected apps have stopped working. They replaced the AIPM to see if they could update the truck in the shop but it seems more has broke.

Your Fordpass isn't working because they are replacing the TCU on your truck; not the APIM. With the TCU off line, your truck cannot communicate with Fordpass or anything. They have not touched your APIM since September when they tried updating it several times and got locked out of it due to too many attempt. It unlocks again after 20 days if I remember correctly. It seems like they are having trouble with the programming of the new TCU and have not touched your truck in 3 days. They probably opened a case with Ford to try and figure out what's going on.

Edit: I see the TCU passed the self test when they were done. I think you just have to set it up again.

Yes it's home. Per the dealership manager he said the Tcu and APIM were both replaced this week. I tried removing the vehicle from Fordpass and redoing it but it fails as it tried to activate the truck. Also my android auto has completely quit and the wireless app projection rocker tab is grayed out like it cannot be activated. They tried to update the APIM in September and it bricked the active drive assist.

Just had a strange occurrence. I went out to check the 3.5.3 update, took a pic of the Sync version screen, etc... Turned the truck off, but I noticed that the door open chime was sounding as I exited. Didn't think much of it, came inside and locked the door. 10 minutes later I looked out and all of the lights are still on. Went back out and started the truck again, and all seems OK. This time when I turned it off, the chime didn't sound when I exited. Locked the truck and the lights went off as they used to do. Must have been something in an interim state from the update on the first key actuation after update.... maybe....
One other thing I think I noticed is that the truck seems to be staying in electric mode longer. I was not driving it any differently, but it seemed to be in electric mode a lot more. I will validate this as I am not sure if any of the updated modules would even impact this. It may be wishful thinking.

I just had a chance to drive the truck since the update. I DO HAVE full-screen CarPlay now. I like it a lot.
