Ford must not have tested BC with Asian drivers. At night, I am getting constantly (every 10 seconds) the eyes on the road alerts. This is with my eyes watching the road and no glasses. I have to move my head or open my eyes up very wide and move my head up and down in order for the alert to...

I have had misfiring in various cylinders. It always happens right before a long trip. First time was in July the day I was leaving for a cross-county trip. Cylinders 1 & 6. It was a Saturday so my local dealership had no techs in. I replaced on my own the spark plugs for 1 & 6 and moved...

NC to AL 23.4 mpg 460 miles truck only AL to NC 15.4 mpg 460 miles with 5x8 Uhaul trailer

Last week, drove 2500 miles from CA to NC on I40 towing a small trailer. Maybe 3000lbs in the trailer and a full bed load (another 1000lbs). Trip average was 10.1 mpg using 87 and speeds of around 70mph. I did notice better fuel mileage when driving 65 mph as the miles to tank number would...

I have this issue. What did you do to solve it?

Can you provide more information about your problem? Are you asking how to use FDRS? How to update via OTA? This whole thread is about how you update your APIM and other modules to enable BC.

I always start with the GWM since that is the gateway to the rest of the modules. I just went down the list from there. But keep track of what you do as sometimes you update a module and it does not get reflected immediately in FDRS. Good luck!

A hearty "Thank you!" to Jesse-Infotainment for sideloading my IPC and enabling me to finally update everything. I too had to reboot my APIM after the Fordpass notification in order for hands free to show up on the cruise control option. Was a tense few minutes before I saw MikeYQM's post...

Looking at my APIM in FDRS, is it corrupted somehow?

The only Forscan change I have ever made was the running board activation one to the DSM. And even before that, I was not seeing any updates. That one change is something I know Platinum Peasant has done, and I see he has updated.

Are the APIM updates just showing up for people? I have not been able to get any updates since this past weekend. I have the GSM update that is stuck, but no other updates. I do not have any DTCs either, so not sure why I no updates are shown as available.

Just to be clear, the configuration in FDRS, below -- IPC - Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Configuration. I ran that successfully and that cleared the DTC. The self-test confirmed everything was good. I did not use Forscan to clear the DTC in my IPC.

Just FYI, I did not have to PMI it to remove the DTC. I just reconfigured the IPC (I think the option below PMI) and that went successfully when before it would not. Once I successfully "configured" the IPC, I ran the self-test to confirm everything was good and got green.

No, the updates are tied to the VIN of the vehicle and the VIN is included in the update information on the drive. So your car will examine the data on your USB drive and not update anything because the data does not include your car's VIN.

I also was able to clear my IPC DTC. I had the U2100 incomplete configuration where I could not PMI it as I kept getting an unsuccessful GetFilesForPMI due to an exception getting flash files. After several days, I redid the IPC configuration and that went through successfully when before I...

So my running boards have not been working since updating the DSM. I followed the suggestion from Platinum Peasant and looked at the running board entry in the DSM using Forscan, and saw that it was disabled -- 00. I redid the entry to 01, saved it, and voila, my running boards started working...

Thanks. I ordered the adapter from Amazon and should arrive Wednesday. Hopefully I will have working running boards then. Will read through the tutorial and watch some videos, but it looks pretty straightforward.

Congrats! I have not used Forscan. Do I need the OBDLink from the tutorial or will the Mongoose work?

Here is a third. Mine looks just the same, along with the IPC DTC.

I think you are where I am -- 21281 rev 244.. There is 22028 rev 358 and then a minor one at 22034 people have posted.
