The Complete DIY Guide to Updating Your Mach-E with FDRS (Alternative to Forscan)

[bshaw]

I will be helping a forum member apply the following updates Saturday.

A couple I have never updated before.

What should be the plan of attack?

New to me are CCM, CMR, PSCM, GSM, and DSP.

That's a big list! Bring snacks, drinks and a sleeping bag.

Either the door control module(s), and/or the RFA will cause you to lose access to operate the door open button while its updating.
Make sure and roll the windows down and leave at least the drivers door open the whole time.

No camera module updates (which take hours....) but that's still a healthy list. Definitely bring or as a line of attack.

door modules are pretty fast as I recall, but RFA can take a good 20-30 minutes, easily enough for at least one donut if you are trapped in the car.

Has anyone received any insight into the delay on it not coming to some vehicles, via either FDRS or OTA?

I’m still waiting….why oh why did I update that PCM first.

Looking for a little help. I mostly hang out on the F150 forum and have read every single page of the FDRS thread there. I have not been here much, but I have been doing FDRS updates on the MME for over a year now including get off of 1.7.1 and onto BlueCruise and I read the last 3 pages to try and see the most current discussion. . I popped for another two day license today because I saw many people talking about the new UI, some of the Home Screen shortcuts are a big deal for the wife. However FDRS is showing me up to date with no APIM available. I’m on SYNC 22228 REV 539.

any insights on what I can look at to see why FDRS isn’t presenting me with latest rev?

A lot of us are in the same boat. It would be best to have somebody check your VIN to make sure it’s available before spending money on another 2-day license.

Wow, that blows me away. The F150 updates have ALWAYS been available to everyone as soon as they come out for anyone. What a waste of $50 and an afternoon.


Thanks for the quick response.

That's been the case for the MME too......until now.

It seems like if you did the last round of powertrain updates yourself with FDRS you will not get 3.6.2 or anything after. When was the last time you updated the PCM?

Hey guys can anyone please check my vin and see what the dealer didn't update? Please vin 3FMTK1SS3MMA17322

About two hours ago I updated the PCM, it's now on F188 = MJ98-14C204-BDN
According to FDRS the update previous to that was on October 21, 2022 which put me at MJ98-14C204-BDL.
