The Complete DIY Guide to Updating Your Mach-E with FDRS

[Mike G]

Interesting your Frunk isn’t up! Do you have low profile cables for your power supply? My Frunk is always up when doing FDRS due to the power supply backup

EDIT: Looking back, it’s so highly polished it’s a reflection?

I'm going to admit to you I cheated......door modules take like a minute each...so no powersupply connected, but I did drive the car for about 15 minutes prior to programming so my LVB was charged (at least enough so FDRS didn't complain). ?

Thanks! I had 21p22 done at the dealer so that should make it easier.
One last question can you leave a door or window open my laptop doesn’t have the best battery life so it would ideally be plugged in throughout.

I left a window open the whole time to route a power cable for my laptop. No worries on that. The door should be closed EXCEPT for when it tells you the door should be open, but the instructions will specifically tell you.

Should be great with the cold! I’m planning to do it Wednesday I’ll let you all know how it goes.

Also, you don't want your Level 2 charging cable plugged in either—just the power supply to the 12 volt.

Just done my 4 door modules. No drama.

Used a power supply like a good boy unlike that naughty @Mike G

I did my door modules today and the HVAC. So far no door opened security alerts.

Beat me to it! Well done sir.

So not the full gamut of powertrain updates, just a subset. And if you're driving a RWD you won't have the SOBDMB at all this time around....

And yes....I'll drag out the PL6100 for this session......

Not even for a BlueCruise map update? That would have been the GWM.
