This is a known issue across all Ford vehicles after a recent GWM software update. To fix this, you need to disconnect the negative battery cable from the 12v battery for 20 minutes. Once you reconnect the battery and check for updates again, it will make it past the spinning pinwheel on that...

I have your VIN. That PCM update has failed a bunch of times due to low battery stats. The current PCM strategy on your car is BBF and it wants to install the BBE strategy, but your battery SoC and capacity are way too low. Who is your tuner? If it is Livernois, you can ask call support and...

I would say depending on your tuner. Only a PCM update will wipe your tune. If you're tuned with a company like Livernois (for example), they will send you an updated tune within a few days once you upload the new stock tune to them at no cost. However, some tuners do not make it that easy (or...

You will have issues with FDRS, too, because it is not supported in the UAE. Even signing in to FDRS through a VPN will get the account banned. If you call FDRS support and tell them you are in the UAE, they will rudely tell you they can't help you and hang up on you. If I run a VIN for a...

OTA's will not work without reprogramming the TCU. I have tried to get it to work with vehicles in the UAE with no luck. Changing the country code alone is not enough. I also know how to simulate the procedure FDRS uses to provision a TCU using FORScan, and that does not work, either. I do not...

With the Sync 4 vehicles, replacing things like the APIM, GWM and/or TCU with parts from other vehicles is not a good idea. The process to update modules (whether it is with FDRS or OTA) can easily be broken by doing this. The part number of the APIM will not match what is on the server and when...

100% of OTAs where firmware needs to be updated come in through cellular. In Ford's PTS website, you can view the OTA dashboard of a vehicle and one of the bits of info is if the OTA requires wifi or not. I have been following Ford's OTA process very diligently since the first F150 and Mach E's...

21-23 F150 does not use TRON; it is 2024 & 2025 that first got it. You can replace the module; TRON does not do a part number check, so as long as the VIN is changed to match the vehicle, the TRON part should not be an issue. The problem will be software compatibility.

The sad part is, Ford knows about this issue for months at this point and they have yet to release a bulletin to dealers about this until they can figure out what causes it and send out a fix.

The battery disconnect device? I don't see why that would be difficult to obtain across the pond.

We don't know what causes this, but it started happening after a GWM update some months ago. Nothing bad will happen from the battery disconnect.. As a matter of fact, I installed one of these on my truck so I can disconnect the battery with just the push of a button...

No learned values will be wiped.

I am not sure if there is an OTA for these that enables it naturally or not like there is for the Lightnings and Mach E. On these, depending on the software strategy the BCM is on, it either can be enabled or it can't. There is no harm in making the FORScan changes for it to see if it works or...

If you're referring to the IPC defaulting to "my view" (or whatever is the equivalent to that screen on these cars) when you start it, that is a known issue with Sync 4 vehicles and there is no "fix". It happens to my truck, too, as well as many other Ford vehicles.

The updates toward the bottom of the spreadsheet may be 2024 only as 2025 models shipped with newer Sync software than the 2024s did. There may be more OTAs out there for these cars not listed there. This group doesn't seem to care about updates as much as other vehicle owners. Rightfully so, as...

I'm always lurking. Lol

That's me. OTA history thread for these cars is below. I need to add the PCM one you posted earlier to the spreadsheet which I will no now. https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/s650-mustang-ota-history-thread.161002/ Auto-updates only apply to updates that require the vehicle to be parked...

Added OTA 24-PU0201-DGB-FX for the BCM to the spreadsheet. If anyone has received any OTA's not listed, let me know and I will add it. Edit: Also added PCM update PT-25.1.3.1 first reported in August AFAIK.

I think I found it. The other 3 speakers in the 9 speaker system are powered by the ACM.
