Where to find the version numbers that you're referring to? Here's what I see on my car (2023 job 1, just updated via FDRS):

The last column is the software P/N.

Hmm what version of BC?

Hmm what version of BC?

That's a great question, but one I can't answer.

It was 1.2 when I bought the car. I never got a BC 1.3 OTA that included release notes stating 1.3. I updated everything via FDRS.

Maybe it's 1.2. Maybe it's 1.3 or 1.4.

What was the version before you updated?

What was the version before you updated?

I don't know that either. I'm guessing it was 1.2 as I never saw an IPMA update before I did it manually.

It's also possible that the "version" information you have above in the OP is something I wouldn't be able to see in FDRS. Perhaps that's only visible in PTS?

 

[garyd9]

@CarGuy11 Looking at lots of different FDRS/PTS reports, I'm starting to think that the software P/N is going to be different for different model year cars, and perhaps even for different jobs within the same MY.

My 2022 BC1.0 IPMA matches a 2021 with BC1.0 so not sure.

Maybe the FDRS "Vehicle Info" screen isn't a reliable location for finding the "Software P/N". I just pulled my car up again and now the IPMA module has a different software part:

@rugedraw & @Mike G would know best.

Just to make it more confusing, in FDRS there's a "module details" section. That has some stuff that might be meaningful:

F188 is the location of the strategy file.

Pretty sure the answer was FDRS is also that same BAE. Latest version showed up the same time OTA went out to EA.

 

[garyd9]

okay, then I have BAE from FDRS (not via OTA.) Maybe it's 1.3 or maybe it's still 1.2 and waiting on some other component. (I also have an older version of sync - old icons.)

It's difficult to know. I'm fully updated in FDRS, but that doesn't mean I have the latest firmware for all my modules. It's possible that FDRS isn't presenting some updates. Maybe Ford is going to wait exactly 48 hours and then open up more updates via FDRS in order to force me to spend another $50.
