I do not see 6.6.0 in your OTA history.
No, they said everything else was up to date because they don't get paid to update modules and they figured you wouldn't know any better. Their FDRS is the same as ours. It is Ford's responsibility to update your car; not your dealer's.
I'd like to reiterate that there may be nothing wrong with the way they PMI'd the APIM and it could be fine as it is. I'm not trying to fear monger here; just pointed out they didn't do it correctly.
Awesome.Thanks for info.Does not seem that this still be true if the car was in for repair explicitly to fix the car's inability to update itself OTA and it's being repaired under warrantee.
Yes, but the other modules they did not update do not fall under the scope of fixing the cars inability to receive updates.
Abso-flippin'-lutely this would prevent successful OTA's.
I took another look at vehicle history and Mike's list of pending updates.The dealer also updated your GWM and TCU yesterday after they installed the new APIM. Your list of pending updates does not include any APIM, GWM or TCU update and you are not on the latest Sync version. IMO: No bueno.
Ask to speak to the service manager. NOT your service advisor. Lie and tell him you have a friend who is a lead tech at a Ford store in another state who looked at the scope of work done to your car, and your friend is concerned that the PMI was not done correctly. Tell him your friend said he looked up vehicle history and told you that when the PMI was done to the new module, they tech did not select "no" when FDRS asked if the module was the original module and that your friend is concerned about configuration issues on your APIM. If you go in there saying someone from the internet said blah blah blah, you will not get anywhere. If they go in there and know what to look for, they will that a Ford employee that does not work for them looked at your car and the story will line up. I have done this before for owners on the ICE forums and it worked. If your APIM is properly configured, a proper PMI will not harm it. If it is not properly configured, this will save you from future headaches.
Good luck.
