Good day,
I just recently purchased a 2021 F-150 Limited. I was reading through this forum and was wondering if someone could look into my VIN and see if any OTA is missing. I have been trying to see if I can get BC downloaded but I don't know what I'm missing to accomplish this. Any help is appreciated.

so if the BMS SOC stays insufficient to do updates.... how do we take that as life/condition of battery? meaning... if you can't do updates, is it time to change batteries? or... is there a hell of a long time between when you'll have issues with the updates and other auto features tapering off as the battery degrades.... or is this an immediate sign you need to change the battery?

Ford has been pushing 3.5.2 to trucks that were still owed the older updates. You will not be able to get the updates you are missing with FDRS. There is only one person I know that can get you the older updates you are missing. He would have to remote into your computer once you get the Mongoose to do it. Once you have the Mongoose, PM me and I will refer you to the guy that can help you. If you don't care about the updates you missed, you can go ahead and update your truck the rest of the way with FDRS. The updates you missed include the camera in motion and pro trailer back up assist with the sticker instead of just the sensors.

@rugedraw with the application you use for OTA can it also check DTC codes?
