  1. Ford updates overwriting tune

    Again, depends on your tuner. I am tuned with Livernois, and they send me updated tunes at no charge anytime a PCM update comes out. However, not all tuners will provide this service. In my case, I do my own updates with FDRS. So when Ford does release a new PCM update, I reach out to Livernois...
  2. Ford updates overwriting tune

    Only PCM updates will wipe the tune, and if you get sent an OTA for the PCM, it will 100% wipe the tune. The tuner would need to send you an update tune with the new strategy. Depending on your tuner, this may or may not be a big deal and there may or may not be a cost associated with it. If...
  3. Having issues updating software

    From my experience, this is addressed on a case-by-case basis. The short answer is no......there is nothing (AFAIK) expressed on the warranty fine print that says an OTA failing repeatedly is covered under warranty. The dealer (or tech) would have to get creative to find a way to bill Ford for...
  4. Having issues updating software

    The window pinch issue would be a door module update which takes 2-3 minutes to flash per door. On the F150 forum, there was a problematic door module OTA that was bricking the door modules for many owners and I helped a few guys reflash it with FORScan. Those are very quick and easy to do. I...
  5. Having issues updating software

    I think the OEM batteries are garbage. I swapped out the Ford H6 battery in my truck for an Optima H7. Not sure if the battery tray on these vehicles can hold something bigger, but if it can, I would recommend to anyone that replaces their battery to go with something bigger and something not OEM.
  6. Having issues updating software

    In my experience, there is only one module that takes 45 minutes to flash and that is the CMR (only on vehicles equipped with Bluecruise) if being updated using a Mongoose or VCM2 cable. Most dealers now have VCM3 cables that would flash that update at least 20 minutes faster than my Mongoose...
  7. Having issues updating software

    Maybe a bad battery then. Your car has a build date of August 2024, so the battery is barely a year old. If you drive the car that much, I see no reason why the battery would be so low in terms of charge/capacity. Dealer puts it on a power supply; not a trickle charger. In the case of the PCM...
  8. Having issues updating software

    @klopklop I got your message, but responding here for the sake of the info being out there. See below from your OTA dashboard in red. BMS data quality is fine, but the SoC is low at 56% and the capacity is also low at 23 out of 70 (assuming these cars come with an H6 size 12v battery). It is...
  9. Having issues updating software

    The BMS should not be reset unless the OTA is failing due to poor BMS data quality. The only way to check if that is the case is with PTS/OASIS. Most of the time, "interrupted by another process" is due to battery SoC and/or capacity being below the threshold, so the GWM won't allow the OTA to...
  10. Anyone else get an update notice?

    Interrupted by another process is 100% due to the 12v battery not being up to spec. It could be the state of charge, the capacity or the BMS data quality that is preventing it from going through. Message me the VIN and I can check.
  11. What Is Your Sync4 Version?

    The latest Sync software available for any Ford vehicle is 25094 (this may not have made its way to these cars yet; it may be released only for the F150s, Lightnings and Mach E for now). The way you decode the Sync version in terms of release date is the first two numbers of the Sync version is...
  12. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    Unless I am misunderstanding what you mean by rollback, dealers cannot roll back module firmware. They can reflash the existing firmware or update firmware, but they cannot roll it back. That can only be done with FORScan if you have a way source the files. From the vast majority of owner...
  13. Should I disable automatic OTA updates after getting a tune?

    Yes. This is the case with APIM, GWM, and TCU updates. On certain vehicles, the IPC also needs to be updated in order for more updates to these modules to become available. Most modules do not have a dependency on others to be updated, but these 3 or 4 do.
  14. Should I disable automatic OTA updates after getting a tune?

    Yes, but the tune will contain the old software strategy, so it will revert the firmware that was updated to the old version.
  15. Should I disable automatic OTA updates after getting a tune?

    That is in PTS which is Ford's dealer website. I can check recent OTA history if you send me the VIN.
  16. Anyone else get an update notice?

    Your car being a 2025 most likely has very few pending updates. If you want to save yourself the $500, I have 4 Mongoose cables I loan out for free. I require a $500 deposit which I refund once you mail it back to me. The waiting list is very short right now. Details are below...
  17. Anyone else get an update notice?

    My FDRS license expired and I didn't renew it so I can no longer check for pending module updates. Someone with FDRS or full PTS access would be able to check with your VIN.
  18. Anyone else get an update notice?

    I see it happen almost daily across multiple Ford forums. 95%+ of the time, it fixes the issue. I don't know what Ford is waiting for to fix it or at the very least, send a memo out to dealers advising them of the problem and how to fix it until they release a permanent fix...
