Bunky Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 (edited) Haz, can you elaborate on what the TRON does? Edited October 4 by Bunky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted October 5 Author Report Share Posted October 5 This is the first reference to Trusted Real-Time Operating Network (TRON) that I've seen. I'm aware that an update to the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) was recently released. so TRON may be a new app running within FDRS used to perform certain tasks. The name suggests that it facilitates communication, so hopefully, FDRS diagnostics and module updates have been improved. Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Canada, the only Supplement #1 difference is Canadian Owner Letters are expected to be mailed by mid-December 2024.

Bunky Posted Sunday at 01:00 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 01:00 PM (edited) Thanks for update. How on earth do they think the OTA is possible when you look at all the conditions (SOC, battery voltage, profile mode, etc)? If OTA was so much better, why not do it that way at the dealer? They should be able to force an update through secret commands. I watched a tech try to do it mobile and it looked primitive. = downloaded to tool, build USB key, then insert in car USB and then start update. In my case, it failed to recogize the key and the tech stopped. I considered that as a blessing. He was able to get window fix and the GWN done but balked on the APIM. I have noticed it takes MINUTES for the vehicle to recognize a USB key (like a music USB), Edited Sunday at 01:02 PM by Bunky 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
