    Selling my BulletProof Diesel 3rd break light dual antenna mount. Had it on the truck for about a year. Complete an in great shape, always had the NMO mount covers on when the antennas were off. Used it with my Midland GMRS radio and my weBoost signal booster. Moving on to a different rig...
  2. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    So the dealer got back to me after I posted. According to the service manager, Ford sent out a “hot fix”. Which solved the problem. When I asked what do you mean by a “hot fix” they were fairly evasive and just that it was some software patch for my truck. When I asked “well, is this a...

    A little update, supposedly Ford released a fix on Monday, but the dealer hasn’t been able to get to it.
  4. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    A little update, supposedly Ford released a fix on Monday, but the dealer hasn’t been able to get to it. I asked what type of fux and the servixe manager was “unsure” just that it was a fix on Ford’s end. I’ll let everyone know what I find out.
  5. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    The fact others are able to access the VIN makes me wonder about the dealer and ford engineering. In 2022, the truck was at the dealer for 2 weeks because they were having a VIN validation issue with replacing the shifter. At that time ford engineering just gave them a work around and never...
  6. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    Thanks, planning on calling the dealer today and have them walk me back through everything they have done interms of connecting to FDRS and when was the last time they attempted to connect the vehicle. Thanks, when I spoke with the actual technician on Friday, he walked me through everything he...
  7. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    Thanks, definitely makes me wonder about what the dealer is telling me. Starting to sound like maybe they are trying to sell me a bridge.
  8. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    Thanks, totally agree. Manufacturers have made where you need a computer degree to work on most new vehicles. I feel sorry for the service departments. That said, I did speak to the service tech on Friday that’s currently working on the truck. I had him walk through everything he’s done and the...

  10. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    Thanks for the replies, gives me more ammunition to go back to the dealer and grill them on what exactly happens when Ford Corporate manually enters the VIN. When I spoke them earlier they stated they are waiting on Ford engineering.
  11. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    Yeah in June 2022, it was in for the gear shifter. They fought for about 10 days with the programming. Ford essentially gave the dealer a bypass for the VIN validation. At least that’s what the dealer tild me at the time. It’s currently back at the dealer. Had some body work done and it was...
  12. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    That seems to most likely reason. The dealer walked through what they’ve done with Ford corporate to rule out a fault on the vehicle side and they made sure they have the most up to date software, rebooted tried different cables etc. Like I mentioned they had Ford Corporate manually enter the...
  13. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    Thought about going to a different dealer, but the others in the area were sort of asses when I went there for other items and others I know don’t think much of their service departments. This dealer’s service department has been great to work with. Given some of the horror stories people have...
  14. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    Yeah Forscan works just fine. I did some of the standard changes, worked great. It’s Ford’s software side. The dealer also went through all the steps with Ford Corporate to make sure the software on their end is up to date. My biggest concern is going on a trip and needing to take it in and...
  15. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    Forscan and a standard code reader work fine. It’s something with Ford’s service software not liking my VIN. When they connect the truck, their software throws a fatal error code on there end immediately. The dealer said they’ve seen similar things happen with a couple of other 2021 F150s but...
  16. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    Yeah it connects to the Fordpass app just fine.
  17. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    Having an interesting issue with my 2021 F150 and was wondering if anyone has had this problem. So from pretty much day one ,my 2021 F150 has had issues where the dealer can't get software to up date because of some issue with the truck connecting to the Ford servers and software system...
