No, you need a Mongoose OBDII told and an FDRS license. Some module update are still done via a USB drive, but the only way to get the files for the USB update is by having the truck connected to FDRS via the Mongoose cable.

What do you think of this version. Seems old.


I had my APIM replaced in February and it has been on this version since then. Previously had the blank revision issue before that. Not sure why it's not receiving OTAs still

Good to know. I'll keep my fingers crossed but I feel its going to be a while too so my expectations are low. I also noticed that when I set a schedule, the day of the week disappears the next day when I check it. and I have to pick a day of the week again. I also sent feedback that the software updates where not working to see if that might help.

You're not getting updates because Ford's OTA process is garbage and they rarely push out the older updates your truck is pending.

Same as above applies to you. Sending feedback or any other "trick" on youtube or the internet is worthless. It does not help anything.

Are you one of their "Beta Testers" that get updates early? You seem to be a couple of updates ahead of everyone else.

The 4.2.x updates have been rolling out to F150s since February. The first two people that reported getting it were in the early access program, but they have been rolling out to everyone for a while now.

Although you're asking someone else, our trucks were the same 2022 Job 1 Build Week. For me, I seem to to get the updates a couple days to a couple weeks after you. Whenever you post you've received an update, I know I have one on its way! Cheers!

Still didn't update after being on a charger. Had dealer replace the battery yesterday At this point I'm not sure what to expect. Should the update go through? Is it expired and has to re-download? Or is it now failing due to a different issue? If someone give shine some more light on this I can go to the dealer with more info. 1FTEW1C87MKE19565

It continuously failed due to low battery voltage. Even having it on a charger does not guarantee the update will go through. I am not sure if I have spoken to you before as I talk to many people multiple forums about OTA issues. PTS shows the OTA trigger expired on 2/4, but it did try to install and fail one more time after the update expired. Is your truck still allowing you try and install it?
