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

[Mike G]

Also try to archive your downloaded software files so you can manually restore correct versions if necessary. This has proven invaluable in some cases.

Ummm. I'm completely unaware that this is even possible in FDRS.

FDRS does save all the software packages when you hit the download button. You can browse through the file folders and see them...but how you would roll back to an earlier revision..? I don't see any facility in FDRS to do that. I've been told by one other forum member who made a reference to software he's used with that capability, but I have no idea what that software is.

Its not possible in FDRS, But there are alternate ways if you have the files still.

With the usually detailed change notes I imagine?

Meaning none.

Opened FDRS this morning and got this:

And checked PTS to find this:

It says it's "Minor Updates- Some minor fine-tuning to keep everything running smoothly."

EDIT: Out on a drive now and the car says it’s downloading 6.1.0.
EDIT2: All done got a message that it finished right after I posted the first edit. It was a small update afterall.

What's interesting is they're pushing 6.1 to the ICE F150s, mine has received 2 GWM updates in the last week with the same software revisions as the 1.3 MMEs. They're enabling picture-in-picture video on them as well.

Anyone else try to update that newest GWM update in FDRS? I tried this morning and it errored out?

Didja try to just let it download as an OTA? Only took me a 20 minute drive.

It's the 6th of October and I think a bunch of OTAs are supposed to be arriving this month, not the least of which is the BC 1.3 group of stuff.

Since I just got the 6.1.0 gateway update today, and that's supposed to be the first in a series that sneaks up on full BC 1.3 functionality, I'm now wondering when the next one will arrive...like do I have to wait until next Friday? Or will the cloud server update overnight and offer me whatever the next thing is tomorrow morning? That would be great if I didn't have to wait a full week because MME updates only go out on Fridays or something.

I got the 5.1 update on a Saturday... so maybe they are doing weekends now as well. fingers crossed.

Prior to this, almost all my updates have been on Fridays.

I'm watching here to see when the BC 1.3 updates start dropping, then I'll get a two-day license and update them all at once (if they don't come in OTA by themselves). I know I have other modules that need updating.

Previously I got a different OTA update for three days in a row, so you never know about the timing.

I checked FDRS today and have a GWM update for my 2021 Job 1 RWD ER MME. Has any one with a 2021 Job 1 MME successfully applied this update using FDRS?

I would hold off on that GWM. @TJSparky posted that it was having issues installing. ?‍?

It didn’t cause issues but it wouldn’t install. Errors out right after download. If someone else can try and see if they get the same thing it would be interesting to know. Thanks
