@rugedraw can you take a quick look at mine? My FDRS subscription expired. Haven't seen any OTAs in a while, since the audio update failed. 1FTFW1ED8MFB98551 Thanks!

So for those are clamoring for updates, there’s plenty of out here that got zapped multiple times and wish we had shut them off from day one.
Dealer ran a pin-point test on the CCM for your truck and FDRS told them to replace the CCM. They did, but were not able to get it to align as it failed the process. Let me run this by the guru again. At least now we know the root of the problem.

They have so far tried recalibrating the existing sensor.

And the new sensor is on indefinite backorder, and they aren't even sure the sensor is the issue, is what I'm told.

Stupid design that disables all driver assistance, even "dumb" cruise control until fixed.

Oh, so they PMI'd the existing sensor? Got it. Seems to be a hardware issue then.

Again today I tried to kick it off with the Update Now button and again it failed. And once if fails it now seems to not let you try "Update Now" again. I will see what happens tonight.
Consider getting a new battery. The battery itself controls its fully charged voltage, and the voltage is what is detected.

PTS shows you only have a BCM update pending. It does not show you were sent the audio update, but it only keeps records for 60-90 days, so maybe it prior to that? Either way, you won't see many OTA's because there is nothing on your truck pending an update.

Last power-up update you got was 6.8.0, so not terribly behind. You actually have OTA BCM-24.6.R sitting in your queue right now.

[QUOTE=rugedraw;7622766][QUOTE=radam;7622760]

Yes, I can see that. List of modules with pending updates are below. GWM has a green dot, so that would be the next one in the sequence. Once that gets applied, it will release another APIM or TCU. I don't think you're due another IPC until a bit later in the process.

Imo, your dealer has gone above and beyond what they are required to do to get you as far as they did. You can try pressing them for more, but you've already gotten more help from them than 95% or more of people what walk into dealers asking for updates. If they tell you there's no more updates showing or some other excuse, just know you got further than most.
@rugedraw hey! They spent 2 more days updating and I think I’m finally back to current! That totals to over 30hours of dealer updates. Does it look that way on your end too?

How do I get the updates done? A visit to the Ford dealer or a setting in the infotainment system?
