You can ask...I think they have to connect to the car to take it out of transport mode anyway. And each door module takes 1 minute to update. But they aren't under any obligation to update anything without a recall or stop-sell, just so you know.
Just like the previous poster... FDRS says your car was 'awakened' a day earlier than it came out of the plant...so the official build date is actually the 15th of Nov 22.
Much appreciated, and thank you for explaining why they aren't chomping at the bit to update. What is the best strategy to keep up to date on the updates that aren't available OTA? I'm guessing it would be bringing it into the dealer for regular service intervals or paying them to update periodically?Just like the previous poster... FDRS says your car was 'awakened' a day earlier than it came out of the plant...so the official build date is actually the 15th of Nov 22.
And just like the previous poster you have the same 4 door module updates (actually rollbacks) so you'll go from "-AL" back to "-AH" revisions whenever that's done.
And the reason your car won't get updated before you take delivery is that Ford (the corporation) and the individual dealerships are not owned by the same people. The techs work for the dealership and get paid by them. So if Ford will pay the labor for the tech to do the work (like in a recall situation or customer satisfaction program 'CSP') then they'll do the work as long as somebody's paying their time.
These door modules take about 1 minute apiece to do. You may be able to get your sales person to work with the shop so that during PMI they can knock it out. It really will depend on your relationship with your dealership.
Yes, or getting together with like minded folks to share a Mongoose cable, powersupply and splitting the cost of a two day license for FDRS.
12 Mar '21 build date, Job 1 car.
Here's the list of available updates:
So it would certainly appear that your cruise control updates are not happening for some reason, but it looks like some things have been updated, like your Sync seems to be up-to-date, but other things aren't.
I'd schedule the car in for 21G01 to get BlueCruise done by a tech. A year and a half is long enough to wait.

Hmmm well it looks like they are possibly waiting for an answer from the tech helpline cause no programming went on today. The last day any programming happened was the 16th.
FDRS appears o be back up this morning with login dialog boxes restored.FDRS for Non-Motorcraft Licensees is down at present. They are aware of the problem. Watch this space.
This means there are no login dialog boxes for name and password visible...so we can't login. It's just a plain white blank page instead of a login box. So until this is fixed........
Sorry about not responding sooner but all of us with "Non-Motorcraft" (Ford) licenses weren't able to log in for the last three days.
