Post by nigxxx »

Hello. Is there an issue in forscan or broken server connections, i did all firmware updates on my mondeo mk5, but on APIM, i have only visible current firmware, HB5T-14G371-FAR, but when reading modules, it says latest know in FGF . i dont have any update in download section, no possible do download any. have paid 1y licence.

and what are correct files to update to MY 18.5 firmware, i did like on tutorials , and got bricked module everytime.

MK5 wit sync3 eu, 3.4 22020 with cyanlabs

If its the same as mine, the firmware files will have been updated but, due to hardware limitations, the FAR will not be updated FGF ....... so your on latest build but it will always show that your not, if that makes sense

APIM Firmware Upgrades for Sync3 before MY18 are only necessary if you want to get some benefits like calm screen etc.

You can use UCDS to force an Update (OWN RISK!!!!) or can load files and use "Custom Upgrade" in Forscan to write them to APIM.
I have an old 16APIM and it worked fine with forced Upgrade.
Now I have all 18 and up functions and can use the newest Software (22110) with all benefits.

Best regards
