Excellent! Thanks. I will contact my dealer next week

 

No problem. Hope you like it!

Glad you got it!

Now you should. [wiggle]

How long did the update take?

I didn't keep track of time but I'd guess the better part of an hour.

I've seen this on a loaner they gave me prior to taking my car home. What kind of issues/excuses can I give them that my IPC is acting so I could get mine updated? It's a neat feature.

That, I'm not going to say. I don't wish to give tips to people who want to sneak an update. You should still be able to ask your dealer to perform the update outside of warranty work.

 

Glad you got it!

I will get mine updated when my surgery is done since I can't drive for about a week. Plus the car only have 620 miles. I already took it once to the dealership for a glob of paint accumulated on the right passenger door from factory. I had issues with my previous Chevy Sonic's infotainment freezing a lot.

 

im taking my car in friday for tranny issues, i will tell my dealer to do this update as well

 

Tried Google, etc.--how can I print this TSB and bring it with me to the dealer?

Thanks--I was using 13-06-27 not 13-6-27; zero was throwing it off.

 

So I went to my dealer told them about the screen not coming on sometimes and they told me they could not duplicate the problem I thought they were suppose to update it whether they can duplicate the problem any thing to do on that

Some dealers are just more likely do fix intermittent problems than other dealers.

 

Planning on a reflash in the next couple of weeks;thanks for the info.

 

Just got this done had to get an oil change and told them my trip mileage would go blank and to apply the tsb to fix it for me. did so and everything is looks great now!!

 

Make sure to bring in the printed out TSB. The guy at my dealer wasn't even aware of it yet.

 

When in for service and asked about having the IPC checked using the TSB supplied. The TSB doesn't apply to my VIN because my 2013 was built after 2/6/2013. So if I want the Job2 display I would have to pay for it.

 

Find a different dealer then.

Just got this done earlier in the week. Works great! As others hav said, print out the TSB and bring it with you!

 

Yes having the TSB helps Then you chat with the SA as he is the one that can assist.

 

For everyone getting this done without issues, you technically do have to pay. Hell - I'd even pay for mine if they'd fix my damn clutch. Until then, I should probably milk them for all they're worth. After all, they're doing it to me (us).

 

Hi everyone,

Your dealership is a great place to find out if your vehicle has any applicable service actions that need to be performed. Give them a call and they'll check your VIN. If you need any additional assistance, get in touch with me via PM and I'll do what I can to help. I'll need your VIN, dealer, mileage, daytime phone number, and full name to determine how to best assist.

Thanks!

Wouldn't you know it, just like always at Velde Ford, dropped my car off for an 8am appointment and they have yet to begin work on it... I got some BS about only having one guy qualified to do updates to the electronic systems and about how he was dealing with some issues on a C-MAX since Friday and something about Microsoft (which doesn't even apply to this TSB in any way) and blah blah blah... yeah...

I wish I could do this myself... ugh.



I wish I could agree with you here but the last several times I've contacted my dealership about TSBs they have had no knowledge of them while I have had the ability to print them out and bring them in. Of course, with Velde Ford nothing gets done. I've had my car there for "The Works" and issues with my transmission (at that point it had been the third time) and after 8 1/2 hours they said my car was ready and never even performed "The Works."

So... unfortunately my dealership isn't the best place to go for anything but a migraine.

 

For those cars that don't have the low washer fluid warning, would this TSB also address that?

 

I wouldn't think so - but maybe.

 

I had this TSB performed, as well as the low-coolant indicator update TSB.

Interestingly, either one of the TSBs also updated the idling characteristics of the car. Now, the idle speed increases whenever I select first or reverse gear from the stop. I noticed this when parking--the car creeps much more easily and quickly, without having to feather the throttle.

In a way, the automated nature of it reminds me of my experiences with the DCT. Initially it seems a bit unpredictable, and I could do without it, but I can get used to it, and it probably makes the car more difficult to stall.

 

Glad I saw this. my car(built 1/13)(600mi) has one time had the display(cluster) stay blank after startup for about 20sec.
I want the all in one page also.
Calling tomorrow to set it up for a "blemish" in the paint on the spoiler also.
Wish me luck!

 

Got this update performed finally yesterday. I have a Titanium that was built in Aug 2011. The dealership whined a bit at first about doing the work but eventually caved. They got ford to cover the update, but if you aren't as lucky they should only be able to charge folks ~$50 to do the update. They are allowed to bill ford .4 hours per the TSB so you shouldn't end up paying for more time than that. My only complaint was that the dealership didn't tighten up my positive battery lead so this morning my car wouldn't start. After freaking out a bit I popped the hood and found that the bolt to the positive was really loose. Tightened the sucker up and I'm back in action. I'll probably make a post at some point to have someone take a pic of their battery in case I'm missing anything. I don't have a clue how it is supposed to look.

 

I don't have a clue how it is supposed to look.

Neither does your 'factory certified' Ford technician!

Got my TSB update performed. I complained of screen lag or sometimes no screen at all. Took a little over an hour. For people on the west coast, don't do it in the afternoons because if FORD HQ closes (5pm) they can't pull the firmware update from them (I'm assuming VIN verified).

They performed this TSB 13-06-07 and TSB 13-06-27. Since -17 is the center screen, -27 is the cluster screen, I think -07 is both screen updates. Either way, it is indeed fixed and I have the new 4 quadrant menu.

I've downloaded calibrations (firmware) at all hours of the night.

 

I stopped in today with a short list of fixes (couple specks in paint on rear spoiler, tiny hole in leather on dr seatback and the display TSB).
They didn't hesitate on any of it. Just waiting on a call back to set an appointment now.
