I did them all tonight, all ends well. I too used the General's module update order. But, everything has been a little buggy for me lately. Now don't get me wrong, Louiebluey always starts fine, and gets me where I need to go in great comfort and style. Also, I am so grateful that we get access access to FDRS to play Ford tech at home.
So, first I got that new FDRS low battery warning (while connected to the PL6100 100A charger) which was bogus. It might have been correct that my LVB soc was 61%, under the "required 80%", but who cares. Also, at first FDRS was not even showing the 12V bus voltage in the lower corner. Well, got past all that fine.
Then with USB updates, all goes fine to a point. FDRS loads up the USB fine, MME says hey, I got it, doing a USB update, shows update status page, then says success! But, then I never get the damn remove USB stick message easy. I mean eventually I do, but I don't know if it something I do with FDRS, leaving MME off, opening/closing doors, restarting FDRS, I just really don't get it. Eventually I turn something on, and I get remove USB, and then FDRS is happy and I move on. It might just be "time" and everything else I've done is mere busy stuff/coincidence, not sure.
So then, all done I do the clear all dtcs, test all routine. Orange the first time, as expected, second time, oh well, then always orange from something going on with SOBDMC, so I do a configuration, no joy, then I PMI the damn thing (Faux replacement, tell it old, then new module in), and all is well, and I've got all GREEN, Yea!
So, my iPhone connectivity has also been degrading over the last upgrades? months? First I lost Paak, kind of who cares, but more recently the only way to get car play is by plugging the lightning cable into USB, so I tackle that tonight as well. Cannot delete iPhone by the options in Sync, that says, well, delete iPhone; it does nothing. Long story short, I reset all FordPass (not Master Reset!), reinstalled FordPass, then started over and all is fine. I now have Paak back, as well as good wireless CarPlay connectivity.
So no major problems, and LOTs of fun, and I think (?) all is back to perfect operation, and I am now as Sync 421 too (or whatever the new number is, I am tired).
