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

[Kmp14]

Here is my FDRS SW updates screen, how do I know if all of these are truly valid for my vehicle, and should I run them all, following the GWM, APIM, TCU, IPC order?

If they’re on the list, they’re valid for your vehicle. Make sure you’ve got your whole day free.

As @generaltso said, that's a full day. The IPMA alone will take 2-3 hours. The powetrain updates will run as a group.

Thanks!
Becm first since FDRS lit that one up once the GWM was done?

Not sure why that one is ready to run; I've usually had to download then run them. But since it's there, why not?

By the way, according to my notes:

• CMR can take an hour
• RFA: up to 30 minutes

I suggest a USB-capable portable SSD... use that instead of a USB if prompted. Much better load speeds.

Patience is a virtue, never more than your first march through an FDRS list like yours.

After the 3rd or 4th round, you learn what to expect with different modules. The CMR isn't a very exciting update.

I had read somewhere in here that CMR takes 45 to 60 minutes so being two plus hours in and I was concerned, but I will continue to be patient.

I assume you got past the file download portion and are well into the "block erase" or block write portion?
Progress bar count value moving?

The progress bar is moving, it is on the "internal operation in progress..." Step but it has been on that for quite a while, The progress bar keeps going to the end and then restarting on this same step.

Someone in the f150 forums said the seemed to be stuck in a loop on this step on the exact same update. Should I cancel? I am close to 3 hours in right now on this CMR
