Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide to update a 2021 to BC 1.3/1.4 via FDRS and Forscan? I have the equipment, but trying to find it via search on the forum is a PITA. I remember seeing info on it somewhere, but now I can't find it.

Thanks in advance.

There’s not really a guide. Are your modules all up to date?

If Ford hasn’t released the module updates for your vin, FDRS is not going to offer you the necessary software.

What’s the latest you have updated for on the IPMA, PSCM, and GWM? There are more involved, but those are key components.

No, 6.8 keeps failing because they seem to wait until my 12v is too low and then push it. So, I figured I'd just do it myself. Plus, my BC expires in 10 days.

The FDRS portion I'm fine with, but I thought I saw something about some values that had to be updated via Forscan. Maybe that's no longer necessary?

To get the features like lane change, you need the ForScan changes. You need the IPC updated (6.8) to get the animations. It also is needed to get the power meter on a 2021 if you don’t have a GT.
I got it all to work on my 2021 Job 2. Works really well and my BlueCruise expires at the end of this year.

Can you point me to the Forscan values or are they built in?

The Forscan post with the values to change was really subtle. I’m not surprised you can’t find it with search. The guy may have even deleted it since then. I may have printed it, lemme see if I can find it.
