A man can dream can't he?

 

I was also one of the FDRS worriers. @rugedraw got me over the apprehension of it a few weeks ago. It got me fully updated, and was pretty easy. You just have to be patient and follow the FDRS instructions/prompts. It is a long process for some module updates. One of mine was ~4 hours. In my case, I had deeper issues and had to get some additional help from another guru, but I am not sure my situation was common.

regardless, listen to the recommendations from rugedraw. He has some awesome knowledge on this topic for sure!!!!

 

You guys rock, I know I’ll be up and running in no time!

Thank you once again.

 

@rugedraw They updated the ipma for me, which restored the camera button functionality. They referenced TSB 23-2416 as justification for doing it on the paperwork. Anyway, thanks for the help. Next up, learning forscan.

 

As expected Ford Customer Service was useless. Referred me to their "Software/Update" help line. The tech guy looked up my VIN and basically told me what I already learned from here. He could only look up 4 months or so back (call BS) and "could see" that I haven't had an update as far as their database could reveal to him at the time. Logged my info and concerns to open up a case and gave me a case number. I asked him what updates my system should be at right now and he skirted around the topic. His only recommendation was that I would have to schedule an appointment with my dealership and have the concerns diagnosed! Basically they know the problem, feign ignorance with no resolution to fix the software his department is in charge of, and tryna milk us of any penny. I also stated I am out of warranty and why would I have to foot the diagnostic and repair bill for an OTA I have no awareness of what's coming my way or not! Love my F150 but hate Ford Services.

 

Just got OTA 6.8.0. For the life of me I’m unable to see any changes in the center display. Can someone clue me in? Thanks.

 

It adds animations for the new functions of bluecruise that are going to be released at some point. Nothing will stick out right away from the IPC update.

 

The people that answer the phones there are mostly clueless.

 

It appears the dealership I had switched to perform my usual maintenance/services did not officially close out on both my Windshield Wiper and Wire Chafing recalls, the tech advised that I schedule an appointment to complete them and request they troubleshoot this "software" issue. Unbelieveable!

 

They aren't going to troubleshoot sh*t. Especially if your're out of warranty.
