What is the Can Bus method?

Programming via connection to the OBDII port instead of the USB hub.

I am about to download the FDRS software from the link one the first post. There are multiple options, what all do I need to download? Just trying to get a head start before my Saturday update session.

All you need there if you're using a mongoose. Is FDRS 35.5.5

It won't open until you buy the license. Buy it tomorrow night. You'll have it all weekend. Sunday mornings can be dicey for updates as ford sometimes updates there servers then. @Snakebitten

Good lookin out. I will buy it tomorrow night. I plan to start Saturday morning early and hopefully get it all done in one full day. If not I will finish it the next Saturday, even though I hate to give Ford anymore money for something that should be free.

I'd recommend buying Saturday morning. It will then let you use the software Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. It's 2 calendar days, so if you buy early in the morning it's effectively a 3 day license.

@bryce600rr . You will also need to install the VCI Software or it will throw an error when you try to connect. Also, take a look at TSB 23-2122, recently posted on Ford.com. Although it is a newly revised procedure for activating/updating BlueCruise, it contains good general tips for updating the GWM, APIM and TCU. The TSB is available under your on-line vehicle profile under Technical Service Info.

Can you post a link to that TSB? I can't find it, I am a Ford website newbie... Edit-- Nevermind, I found it, now I am a badass LMAO

I might try tomorrow morning as well. Is the VCI software for the Mongoose? Mine came preloaded and registered if that's what it is for.
