DIY/FDRS before HVBJB recall service - any issues? Also...

[Jeff-NoVA]

I expect my dealer to call me next week (hopefully) with the HVBJB part ready to install. I know they will update some modules as part of the recall service. Would a DIY update using FDRS prior to this service have the potential cause any issues or confusion with the dealer? For instance, is it possible as part of a DIY update? I would end up updating something that they don't anticipate being up-to-date?

Also, in a the now two-year old YouTube video where the mac & cheese guy is updating his vehicle with FDRS, he talks about needing to check in the forum to see whether the updates showing in FDRS are the correct updates for his vehicle to because some of the updates are only for Job 1 or Job 2 vehicles. Is that still an issue these days? I have a 22. It doesn't appear the thread he's referencing is still active.

Well, I know the FDRS main thread is still active. I got some answers to my own questions yesterday.

I'd browse through there. The 1st post has information on how to update your car. My post (one of the latest ones) was asking which updates I should do first, and in what order. Got an answer and plan to follow their instructions this weekend.

Thanks, yeah I have definitely spent some time reading that thread, and ponied up (no pun intended!) for the Mongoose plus instead of Chinese knockoff based on the advice I received. Don't want to be visiting the dealer on a flatbed!.

The thread the YouTuber referenced is this one. But it does appear from context only to apply to 2021s.
