When you swapped the FCIM, did you have to do anything in ForScan to flash the firmware settings? Did you have to clear any old DTCs?

Good news - glad to hear it. I am trying to source a new board off eBay today.

FYI - I verified my original 2018 OEM part number is JL3T-18E245-UCE

let’s hope. I fixed the solder joints on my original but haven’t reinstalled it. If that doesn’t work I too will order used off eBay

just curious what version of the FCIM you guys are buying off eBay to replace it. I saw a thread on another forum where they referenced JL3T-18E243-UCG As the part for the 2018 Raptor. Several eBay auctions show it as JL3T-18E245-UCE Not sure what is different about these as Ford makes...

@nikhsub1 Curious to see if popping in a used board helps. Please keep us in the loop!

Btw - thanks for the link about the airbag problem. That little led component coming loose is probably the culprit. I thought one looks “suspect”. They are very fragile and only held on by tiny solder joints.

I also get Ford pass alerts

It seems to happen after a passenger rides in the truck and gets out of the vehicle. Happened twice this morning. It seems to happen when a passenger gets out of the vehicle after a trip.

Also, I am getting an occasional passenger airbag detection warning. Has anyone been able to clear this?

Well, so far the Bluetooth connectivity has been 50/50. With the oem radio, I used a CarPlay dongle it worked great but did require BT and WiFi. So with the Android screen I did set it up with the BT connection (CarPlay dongle disconnected). That worked sometimes. I just tried clearing the...

Yeah - that thread doesn’t have much technical help. Ship times, weather around Raptorville and some install pics

I think what @nikhsub1 said still works in a 2018. I have a 2018, and that’s what I have used (Apple dongle) previous to this radio and it worked great. I might start a thread with FAQs on this radio - not sure the best approach. I have several questions! There is a thread on the F150 forum...

I have completed the install. Seems to work perfectly, but I have a lot of questions. Lifetime iPhone user, not sure the best way to go about getting the most out if it. It IS awesome. Love the ability to fine tune the sound with all the equalizer settings and individual gain controls. I have...

And just received it. 9 days from order placed to my door. Not too bad.

Appreciate all the help - pulled the trigger on a loaded Autotec 12.2" today. Moving closer to the glass cockpit...

I am getting ready to order the 12.2” for my 2018 Raptor. Got a couple of questions after reading some threads - hope experienced users can help! 1. What’s up with needing the SIM card and a cellular subscription. I use an Apple CarPlay dongle now and it works great. What do I lose if I DON’T...

Just curious, did anyone opt for the smaller 12.1” screen? If so how was the fit? I think I might like the overall fit better, but would like to see a good pick. Website pics are pretty basic. Also, it looks the 12.1 and the 14.4 are the same performance and features. Can anyone confirm?

Geez, got on this thread as I am due to replace my OEM pads and rotors FIRST TIME at 105k miles. Not sure what I learned here, but pretty sure OEM equipment worked fine for me as I haven’t plowed into anything yet.

I used this thread to potentially (time will tell) solve my Morimoto XB LED "DRL problem" - figured I would post some info for others. 2018 Raptor 802a package When first installed, my lights worked perfectly for over 6 months until just last week. I started experiencing an intermittent...

@bentonville Nothing new for me - it hasn’t done it since the one occurrence. Next visit to for maintenance I am going to have them look for any leaks.

Well, an update for my truck on this one - no issues since I posted this originally. Truck is behaving normally, no oil smell. Reinforces what FordTechOne advised.

That’s interesting - if It was a cracked valve cover would the leak be fairly obvious? I have gone over the engine best I can with but see no signs of any leaks. Plus it hasn’t had the oil smell in recent days. I suspect FordTechOne’s explanation may be it.

Not really… Nov 8th about 3k miles back. So I don’t think it’s a sloppy maintainer issue.

2018 Gen 2. Just hit 100k miles. Waiting on the wife the other day, well of course she took about 45 minutes longer than planned. Anyway, truck idled for 45 minutes. As we left we got a very strong burnt oil smell. Like oil dripping on exhaust pipe type smell (had those before!). Happened...
