Hey I just bought my expedition and was a little disappointed to find out that getting it to 3.0 was the limitation from ford. What exactly are the limitations to using the noted code? It seemed like certain things didnt work?

Huh?

What year is your Expy?

If you are following the current CyanLabs instructions you should be at 20021.

Did anyone do the APIM firmware update too? I think I want to do it but the instructions are unusually thin on the Cyan website. To be clear this is not a complaint, he has done what Ford refused to do, and for free; so I appreciate all of it.

But I cannot quite figure out the step for myself, nonetheless. Is it a lot of work? Worth it?

Thanks!

I thought about it, but haven’t tried. Need to read way more than the Cyan site. Based on the version of my APIM(2017), I might not be able to do it at all.

An update from 19274? Anything in it worth updating? 19274 has been working just fine -- hate to fix something that isn't broken.

20021 has been a little buggy for me, but good.

The cool thing the 20021 download from CyanLabs comes with is the 2019 Map data.

If you are on 19274, you have to downgrade to 19200, then format, then install 20021 with 19 Map Data.

Same for me. Nothing too crazy though, worst I'm really dealing with is the occasional slow start-up.

I'm wondering if it may just require a little more processing power than these units have. I updated my wife's 2019 Edge and it handles it perfectly fine.
