This is so fun…
You need to get that GWM (gateway) module updated before things will start happening for you. When your car was in on the 17th they had problems updating your gateway and it is very much one of the modules involved with OTAs. It did not get updated when the car was in the shop on the 17th and you still have that update showing in your list:
I would call the service advisor and ask them to explain to you what happened when programming was attempted on the gateway on the 17th. I hope they told you the truth.
A big thank you for checking this for me!You're surprising more up to date than most EU cars
Looks like You've been in a dealer recently

My car had the gateway pending update thing going on -- the GWM was up-to-date, FDRS went retarded and I made a post about it as FDRS seems to be multi-layered in that there are 2 different layers for FDRS to call home to. It appears ford has some type of data problem. See this post
A really good place to start would be getting the shop to update that TCU. It's the modem that the car uses to send and receive info to/from Ford. That could definitely be the problem.
Yup....the APIM update you're looking for, and the OBCC update is all there is.
thank you that helps a lot. I wonder if in time it can be updated OTA? My dealer is not very willing or good at dealer with the Mach-e they consider it a burden and a car that should not have been released when it was. To get them to do anything on it that Ford does not require them to do is impossible.A really good place to start would be getting the shop to update that TCU.

It's possible that the TCU was updated as an OTA since there are at least a couple of instances of that shown in the Wiki.
thanks, I am not sure if it won't accept OTA or Ford just didn't pass it down to me yet.
Hello again Mike. I will be taking my car with WF0TK3SU5MMA27265 to the dealer next Wednesday to carry out updates. Can you check if there are any changes to my list that you gave me on 17 January? I could think of delivering an updated list to the dealer workshop if there are any changes.9 Apr '21 build date, Job 1 car.
Here's the list of available updates:
Here in the US Ford is paying for our cars to get the HVAC update to provide more heat. I would imagine that where you live that would be helpful.
I would ignore the powertrain updates for the time being (PCM, BECM, SOBDM, SOBDMB, SOBDMC).
If you are not having problems with DC fast charging you can skip the OBCC for now.
The APIM is useful as it often brings additional features.
The BCM and GFM combo would allow you to open your Frunk with the door keypad, or a key fob if you have one with that button.
The DSM is a good update if you are having problems with your seat and mirrors not adjusting to the proper profile for the current driver. Can be free, if you say you have this as a concern.
The GSM update is for those cars where an error is showing in the system (ask your tech). If there's an error that one should be free.
And that's why it needs to be investigated. That TCU is overdue.
