The Complete DIY Guide to Updating Your Mach-E with FDRS

[Mach-Lee]

hmmmmmm, I did an GWM update along with the doors yesterday, and it looks like I have an APIM update today ..... I'm hoping for YouTube ...... or at least that Lanes game.

I had APIM showing up for the past couple days but this just happened: Power-Up 3.5.3 No YouTube for me, don't get your hopes up yet. You might get Lane Change though.

I know ... I didn't get that EA email, but my expectations are set quite low.... I'm probably just spending my time now to get Alexa bothering me in the car.

Lol, on the later versions you can dismiss her so her menacing icon goes away.

I checked my VIN twice earlier today. Nothing....

Then I read @MachLee and @scoopman posts about an APIM update a minute ago...I check again and like magic....it's there.

You are good!

5GB wow!

I did one on the Lightning last weekend and I think and it was like 3GB and I thought that was huge.

O wow maybe new navigation maps?

Didn't check that but I never use the native navigation, doesn't compare to Apple Maps or Google Maps. I posted about the APIM update here: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/sync-apim-update-in-fdrs-21-gtpe-job-2.22080/

Maybe BlueCruise-related maps? Mine expire in 2 weeks... and maybe a frunk button for us poor Job 1 souls!

5Gb? My APIM update popped up this morning and it’s in progress right now. When creating the USB it was copying 15Gb ?

I remember doing 1.7.1 and that took forever at 11Gb - guess i’m not getting much done for the rest of the afternoon ?

You guys got me excited regarding what this update does. I hope it is good!

So it's 5.83GB as has been previously mentioned and it does include the Frunk button for '21 J1 cars. Oh..and there is an Alexa option.

You will end up with Sync 22228_PRODUCT Revision: 539
Software revision in FDRS will end up as MU5T-14G676-DT (same as my Lightning is right now). I'm going to assume that this also means it will have the 'dual phone' connectivity since the latest revision to my Lightning said that was one of the things that was now included with the '-DT' revision.

Got up very early this morning to ensure speedy internet and did the download while making coffee. @scoopman says his experience was hours long. I think internet speeds may have been a factor. I started my session at 0558 and I was finished at 0703 Central time.

Stuck the USB drive in and was surprised when it said it was updating 42 files.

This one's for @Jimrpa:

You can say 'no' to Alexa without having to sign up first.

The Alexa icon goes away if you either sign up or decide to dismiss instead.

Recommend starting this at the best time for your internet downloads whatever that is for your situation.

Enjoy!
