I’m currently at 2.8.3 with functional BlueCruise through dealer FDRS. Got the last 2 minor updates. I’m expecting versions 3.1.1, 3.2.1, and 3.3.1. Modules to update are GWM, APIM, and TCU, presumably in this order.
These modules can be updated via USB flash drive. If the OTA updates fail, my thought is to create an USB flash drive for my truck by manually entering the VIN in FDRS and then inserting the flash drive in the truck to do the update. If the battery SOC is low would leaving the flash drive inserted and driving solve a low SOC condition that would block an OTA update?
I see the upside of this procedure as not needing to use a Mongoose VCI or worrying about the battery SOC. One downside is how to “report” the updates to Ford to be sure the next module is ready to be updated.
Any thoughts about this update procedure are appreciated.
