New BlueCruise Version 1.4 - Rollout March 2025

[Timeless Epoch]

Also noticed on sharp highway curves you now see a turn symbol on the dash above speed indicator I thought was kind of neat. Did not know it was part of the update as I had not seen anyone post about it. See pic below:

My 2024 does that too and I understand it is running 1.2. Still could be new to you and the version you came from.

Very, very quiet in here!!!

NHTSA - Seeking More Detail on BC 1.4

For those of you with knowledge, if a 2024 has all modules updated including IPMA, I would assume it would technically be on BlueCruise 1.4? Even without the official update, the toggles are already visible for 1.2+ features. Have a long road trip coming up and just wondering being there won't be any visual indicator differences between 1.2 and 1.4

Yes, the IPMA update for the 2024 does include BC 1.4.

Do 2025's all ship with BC 1.4? I just bought a 2025 flash that looks like it was built mid-May and don't see any software updates available. Short of the update history, is there any way to check which software versions I have?

2025's are shipping with BC 1.2. The software for 1.4 has not been released for them yet.

Still waiting for 1.4 on my '22 Lariat... I see that some '22s here have gotten it. Any way to trigger the update? If I don't have 1.4 by the time that Ford wants to renew BC, I will cancel the subscription. I'd like to see if 1.4 will be worth keeping before I commit that kind of money to a service renewal. I did sign up for the 1-year $0 extension, but the expiration date didn't change, and that date is coming up fairly soon.

No, you can’t affect the OTA timing and the renewal date won’t change until your current subscription expires.

The dates will update on/after your current 3 year period passes.

I also am waiting, and have calendared the subsequent expiration date, if I haven't had the opportunity to evaluate 1.x then I'll cancel.

Thanks guys - good to know about the date changing on expiration of the 3-yr period.

For S&G I looked at Fordpass Connected Service for Blue Cruise:

My 2023 Lariat SR is still on 1.0 version. I would be interested to see if something is causing a delay with my OTA’(s).

I am pretty sure I am also waiting on a few other OTA’s as well. Called my dealer and they said I need to wait for the OTA’s to download.

Now that is dependent on you haven gone in on the Ford Web site and selected the free renewal option. Just wanted to be clear on that point.

So did you S or G or cry?

I will send positive electronic vibes through the ether that you can get it prior to your initial expiration!
…. also…. come on Ford!!! you can do it!

It's just another Thursday for my Lightning today, no surprises this morning, but we have just under 12 hours to go.
