This is a description of how my fix went.
fixed the satellite radio issue with the x40 sdars setting. Everything else was a little bit more of a guessing game.
Mine was the exact same as yours. Crazy that dealers are having trucks sit for weeks and replacing stuff because of this issue.
Time to start a side business perhaps, some remote logging in to help affected guys trucks !
My truck showed real dates for the expiry of certain services before the update, but the hands free driving had showed it expired in 2022....when I just bought the truck last month, new off the lot.

I bought the mongoose cable and updated everything...
Hi everybody,
I did the old $800 investment into the mongoose cable, and figure that I might as well make it available to others who don’t want to make that significant investment.
I updated my truck with the 2 day FDRS license without any issues, it was worth it in my opinion !
What I’m...
Update…
I drive a stretch of known Bluecruise highway almost every day. It’s never gone full hands free since I bought the truck.
Since pushing all of the updates and getting the GPS working again, this morning It went full hands free for the first time !
Amazing.
I had the same issue after I updated everything through my mongoose cable with FDRS. I picked up a new 22’ a month ago that was so far behind on updates that I thought it was stuck, so I pushed everything to it, no problem.
The next day, I go out to my truck and I get the Sirius “loading”...
