  1. The Complete DIY Guide to Updating Your Mach-E with FDRS (Alternative to Forscan)

    Guess I should have added that part. Yeah looking to do the new Sync 640. Last time I used FDRS was to get myself unstuck from updates, and to get the car up to Blue Cruise. I followed the outlined steps in order and it worked. More curious if there is the same outline for correct order of...
  2. The Complete DIY Guide to Updating Your Mach-E with FDRS (Alternative to Forscan)

    So reading through this long thread and maybe I missed it, but is it officially rolling out to Job1 cars not in EA? If no, I might just buy the 72 hr license this weekend and update everything. I know in the past I was able to follow official guides that dealerships would use to update things...
  3. Recommended Fast DC Charging Stations in Charlotte Metro Area

    I am also in Charlotte and have taken many trips to ATL and Savannah, so needed to stop and charge. In CLT there are EA stations in University Area off Tryon street near Ikea in Walmart parking lot. There is a new EA station in Statesville, but I have not been there myself yet. You best bet...
  4. Battery Contactor Recall Software (22S41) Now Available at Dealers

    I just finished updating my car via at home with FDRS. Took about an hour to finish this update and the few outstanding ones (Wireless charger, hvac, memory seat) Figured since I bought the license would knock them all out. The only thing I have noticed are my save charging locations are...
  5. The Complete DIY Guide to Updating Your Mach-E with FDRS (Alternative to Forscan)

    When I bought my last license a week ago, it starts as soon as you pay for the license. I did mine on Friday at 2:00pm, and it expired at 2:00pm on Sunday. Luckily I was finished with all my updates Sunday morning so it worked out perfectly. Thanks, Ken~
  6. Another Failed BlueCruise Activation Thread

    This was actually the second time I purchases a FDRS license to do my own updates. The first time was mainly to get me unstuck from the 1.7.1 issue. Once that was done, I started to received OTA updates all the way up to 2.8.1 which kept showing as failed. That's when I decided to buy another...
  7. Another Failed BlueCruise Activation Thread

    I just finished doing these updates myself to get me to BC, and I have a Job 1.5 car you could call it. When doing the updates myself I did notice that even after doing the VERY large update IPMA which will also do: CMR, CCM, PSCM and took nearly 3 hrs to do. I had to reset the APIM, which...
  8. Optional Product Improvement Program 21G01 - BlueCruise Programming

    I ended up figuring it out with the help of a forum member via private message. With his help and this thread I now have BC and all available updated are done. :) Thanks, Ken~
  9. FDRS update in NC / SC area

    I finally have BC! Just got back from testing and worked perfectly. I ended up doing the rest of the updates myself as the 2.8.1 showed as failed. I didn't want to wait for the OTA to try again. It was worth it for sure and learned A LOT about FDRS. Thanks, Ken~
  10. Optional Product Improvement Program 21G01 - BlueCruise Programming

    I just finished doing this update myself and I am on the last step per the direction to go into the Toolbox tab, and perform 2 hard resets from FDRS main menu. I am not seeing this option anyplace..? Anyone have any tips on where this hard reset option is? Thanks, Ken~
  11. FDRS update in NC / SC area

    That is what I did on Monday was drill the holes. VERY easy to do if you follow this template: https://www.macheforum.com/site/attachments/mach-e-lv-access-template-pdf-pdf.45085/ All I did was align the positive/negative holes and then drilled out the access holes. Took all of 5 min and...
  12. FDRS update in NC / SC area

    So after a few wks since I got myself unstuck from 1.7.1 I am now all the way up to Sync version 415 and Power Up 2.8.1 I was actually away this weekend and the car was sitting all weekend in the garage, but I have it set to update nightly at 1am. Well while I was gone it went from 2.4.5 to...
  13. Charlotte Area Mach-Es

    I brought mine to T&C 1 week after I bought it almost 1 year ago to fill the washer fluid, and run a TSB to control how loud the car was when charging at home on a level 2. They were VERY hesitant to try the TSB, but after 2 days they did it. That has been the only time I have brough the car...
  14. Charlotte Area Mach-Es

    I am located in Harrisburg, so just outside of Charlotte area. I also bought my MME last year from T&C Ford. Buying experience was dead simple and quick, plus being an employee of Speedway Motorsports made things even better. Hopefully your enjoying your new ride! Thanks, Ken~
  15. FDRS update in NC / SC area

    FYI, I received my first OTA update the other day! Now shows I am on 2.7.1 so means I am officially unstuck from 1.7.1 update. Depending on my work schedule next week I might try to tackle more updates now that I have the process down. Also going to cut the battery access holes this time...
  16. Looking for help with the TSB 22-2117 & 2150 updates

    It's worth it I feel. I only did the 48hr license as I don't plan to update the car that often. Figure 2 or 3 times a year when major releases come out. After getting myself unstuck from 1.7.1 last Sat I received my first OTA and now on 2.7.1. Hopefully means more updates will continue...
  17. Looking for help with the TSB 22-2117 & 2150 updates

    I just did this on my own this past weekend, and took about 10 min for the update to complete. I think the hardest part is getting to the plug in the footwell, but even that only took a few minutes to do. I followed the steps outlined in TSB: 22-2150, and honestly FDRS tells you what to do...

  19. FDRS update in NC / SC area

    The failed issue was my own fault by not hooking the negative to the post :( Rookie mistake for sure and cost me nearly a whole day of no updates. I am now unstuck from 1.7.1, and was able to do a few updates yesterday morning before I had to leave for other plans for the day. The trick was...
