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

[Neil4Real]

What is the rev. that you end up with after programming?

My traded in '21J1 currently shows rev. LU5T-10F906-AA with no available IPC update in FDRS.

Won't know until later today or tomorrow when I get the car back and can do the update.

Will be interesting to see if those that had the IPC replaced on a Job 1 can see the update or not.

I think Job 1s need to take @Gimme_my_MME advice and get the IPC replaced to be able to add the power meter. Do you see the IPC update? I wonder if this is the one that will fully eliminate the buzzing he said was coming!

No, I don't see the IPC update available yet.

I'm hesitant to let the dealer tear apart my dash to replace the IPC when I don't hear any buzzing from my driving position. But I guess I will if there are other reasons to do it.

I asked for VINs in the IPC thread on those that got it replaced to see if they have the IPC update! Hopefully that'll point us in the right direction!

@methorian was kind enough to send me his VIN after he had the IPC replaced. He also does NOT have the IPC update, but he hasn't done the APIM update, I don't think the two are linked, I can't recall as it has been so long since an IPC update has come out.

Here's his IPC module info after they replaced and coded:

I really hope it gives Job 1 cars the ability to add the power meter.

I’ve got a 21 job 2 added the power meter about a month ago. It’s pretty cool.

Yup. That's why I want it.

Life's been a bit hectic since I got my IPC replaced, but maybe I can try to Forscan it this evening.

Forscan works with Mongoose USB, right?

There was a time that FORScan couldn't see the IPC with the Mongoose cable, but I don't think that's an issue anymore with the latest version.

Works fine. That’s how I did mine. You’ll need the 2 month FORScan license. It’s free. Make sure you have the latest forscan software.

Thanks, yea I just downloaded Forscan to my laptop and applied for 2 month license on their website. Saw the Mongoose in settings for connection so will try it all tonight.

Just did the power meter forscan change and no luck. So maybe it does require an update of some sort?

Dang, that's so disappointing that even with the new IPC it isn't working.

Bummer

That‘s a bummer. Thanks for checking.

My 23 has a ACM update this morning. I suspect it's to re-enable AM radio. But I'm in no rush to find out.
