My Vehicle just did the Power-Up 4.2.1, which I saw commented on as the GWM update. Anyone know if that means I'm down to three now?

That GWM is now replaced with an APIM module, so you are still with 4 modules in your list.

Here's the list of available updates:

Hello Mike,
my car was at the dealer to install the updates today.
Could you pls check, whether they corrected all modules?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry to trouble you but anyway I could get a screenshot of that? My dealer has been a pain with the updates. Flat out lying some are done and saying they didn't see them. I like to go in there with a picture and say "tell tech do what he sees on this sheet, all of it."

I don’t have access to FDRS to get the screenshot, but Mike G does. I just know that if you got 4.2.1, the next update (4.2.2) will be an APIM module. Here’s a list of PowerUp updates and what they do.

Nope...that means if you got the GWM done with OTA 4.2.1 you are still at 4 updates because of the APIM that got added to your list and should arrive as OTA 4.2.2.....

Ahh... I see mark got there first! Well done sir.... ?

But yeah, here's the screenshot showing what we just discussed, GWM gone and replaced by the APIM, which should be the new Sync UI...OTA 4.2.2:

And after this APIM update comes as an OTA you will get another gateway (GWM) update that will be OTA 4.2.3. Actually, in theory you could get the HVAC (4.2.5) before 4.2.3.

Anyway, let us know what happens!

That gateway did clear off the list and was replaced by an APIM (Sync) update. So that should be in the process or already have downloaded for you.

Hey Mike, as I sit here checking the forum…… I decided to check Fordpass, and I just got 4.2.2.! So the last 3 days I’ve gotten 2 power-up updates.
I’m scheduled for a dealer visit next Friday (12th), re PCM dependencies ……… but now that I’m getting updates, maybe PCM modules weren’t my problem?!
However, I am planning on asking if they can update- WACM(phone charging), HVAC ( another update), and RTA (PaaK)……. Wish me luck! Thanks for the conversation…….. Bill P

Well if you've gotten those OTAs then "PCM Dependency" isn't a problem anymore. You'll get the next OTA as well I imagine, and that will be another gateway (GWM) update and should be 4.2.3. But don't be surprised if 4.2.5 (HVAC) pops in first. That's happened for a couple of people.

So let me see if I have this straight...on the 18th of April following the glass work the tech connects FDRS up and while doing diagnostics that include the results of the Self Test (below) it's discovered that there are issues with the door modules.

But "somebody" at Ford said to return the car this way...even though there are door module updates in the list of available software:

Were you having door errors before going in to the shop?

Actually that doesn't really matter....they should have fixed whatever the problem was before giving you back the car, unless for some reason you told them you needed it back right away and couldn't wait?

Hi Mike - Appreciate the help!

While the car was at the dealer/glass place the door faults appeared at some point. They did run the battery down to 2% and I had numerous faults appear on FP. They had to tow the car back to the dealer. While back at the dealer they told me about the rear door faults.

Dealer originally told me on 19 Apr they ordered rear door hatches. Now they tell me Ford told them to return it.

You can tell the dealer hooked up to FDRS on 18 April? Anything else you can see? I am about to reply to the Service and General Manager. I will engage Ford customer Service as well. Thanks again!

 

[HuntingPudel]

Thank you. Last question, if no luck at dealer, how do I open a case with ford?

call 800-392-3673 and ask for the BEV Team. Explain that your car isn't updating and you need help. ??

Man, you guys know so much more now than when I had the 21, it’s really incredible! Thank you so much!
Do I need to be concerned at all if the vehicle is going in today for updates? If they push all four of these, then refresh, they’ll now see one or two more (GWM and / or HVAC)? Even though the vehicle did 4.2..1 yesterday, it’s a 23 and already has the new UI (volume wheel controls AC, seats, etc) as well as the camera icon and the instant voice feedback feature. Confusing how they push and combine these.

Do I even need to bother with the dealership updates Or are there some that just will not happen OTA / take weeks to be pushed?

This is fascinating to a guy in the tech industry. Really want to justify the price and just get to doing these myself like I do every other piece of tech in my life, but that FDRS was crazy pricey when I checked back then.

If you say things like.."I get errors when trying to fast charge", and "My phone sometimes loses the connection to the car" they might be inclined to do the updates for the OBCC and RFA. Dealership techs ususally let APIM (Sync) updates come as OTA because they know Ford pushes those out more or less routinely (more likely to let it come as an OTA if it shows up in your OTA Dashboard in PTS as a pending download). And the HVAC update is supposed to be the same as OTA 4.2.5. So they may do the OBCC and RFA if you say you're having issues, but don't be surprised if they don't update any of them if you don't say something.

Anyone know how I can fix this!? Says my region is china!? I am in the US, and have lost connected services both in the drop down as well as the fordpass app. Any help would be appreciated!
