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

-BDN does appear to be the most recent for a RWD Premium, I installed it yesterday.

On October 21st I installed MJ98-14C204-BDL which appears to be what screwed everything up.

Agreed. So we're all waiting on an update to the PCM to address this impasse.

FYI, The GWM update that will enable the new UI APIM update is -LAD

But i have AAN so this can only mean a total stop on upgrading sync

So if it's like my Lightning...I got another GWM update after the Sync 640 update....and then you have this post where somebody is now at -LAE...so that would be right.

No, I don't think so, I think the PCM is up to date. I think FDRS is confused and won't release the GWM because it thinks we should already have it. I think we need an FDRS (backend server) update.

Edit: To expand upon this comment... The way FDRS presents updates is really stupid. It wants to step you through all updates in a certain order. It analyzes where you are, and picks the next set of updates to present to you, if you are not at a state it recognizes as an intermediate state, it will not present you any new updates. We have fought this constantly not he F150 forum as well, if even one module or file winds up in a state (valid or invalid) that FDRS doesn't match to a whole line on it's matrix, it won't move forwards.

Okay.

And my Lightning GWM is now at -LCE (the "C" being the difference between Lightning and Mach-E I would guess).

There is a new PCM and OBCC, i was advised not to do the PCM, but try the OBCC.

EDITED: to clarify not to do PCM, if the OBCC tells you it will update multiple modules.. just cancel.

I'm someone who is stuck -- and I have an GWM update this morning according to FDRS!

EDIT: new version reported by FDRS is G2132531-21.0

Hopefully this unsticks me (and @Neil4Real with the same car/situation) and I'm offered APIM afterwards. I'm going to be trying this in about an hour and a half from now....

Andy I love you. Every time I see you quote or mention me, I get a glimmer of hope and this time it turned to happiness instead of sadness! I have a GWM showing now as well, going to do it now! Who needs to work! Priorities!

Does anyone remember the quick way to transfer the APIM files to the USB after FDRS downloads them since that is what takes forever?

Also a “stuck” J1 here. GWM is the only thing on my list. Applying the update right now

Also interested. I believe there’s a temporary location that they’re housed and it has to do with manually moving them to the USB.

Same here, 21 Job 1 EA, see a GWM update in FDRS.
Maybe it's a general release for everyone.

Nothing in the OTA status from web page though.
