Bluecruise 1.4 Announced

[gilles1712]

Thanks for the clarification. Is there a sequence of updates/downloads I should expect once I sign up in FDRS having BC 1.0 having 6.8.0? Any tips on what to expect for multiple download(s) would be great. Much appreciated!

So how does the subscription work? I am not inclined to pay any subscriptions, but it seems like once you have it, there should be a way to keep it.

The same way every subscription works. You pay for a month, then you get a month. You pay for a year, then you get a year.

GWM, APIM, TCU and IPC in that order as they show or appear. You can then move on to the rest in no particular order. When you're ready, find the FDRS thread stickied in this section. It is followed by myself and many others with FDRS experience that are very willing to help guide first-timers through the process.

Thanks @rugedraw. I need to get my first oil change soon so I may ask if they can just update it then.

Very unlikely that they'll do it as Ford does not pay them labor hours to update modules just because they are not up to date. Also, I have checked a few 2024 trucks and they do not show a pending IPMA update, so even if they were willing to do it, they may not be able to.

I worded that poorly. Shouldn't post before coffee.

What deactivates blue cruise? Is it a timer, an ota signal?

I’m going to try to get the dealership to update modules for me tomorrow when I take the truck in for an oil change. The service advisor said they have a charge code for it but I won’t find out until I talk to them at drop off how much they’ll want to charge (or if they’ll even do it). It defaults to $195. I’d be ok with that, but I’ll be surprised if they agree, and agree for that price. Worth a shot before I make arrangements to do it myself.

It's a cloud based service, so it just gets deactivated server side, I believe.

How do I check my blue cruise software version?

Minutes. If you have a 2024 and it shipped with 1.2, the only thing you would need to do to get 1.3/1.4 is update the IPMA software. Your truck would already have the config enabled for lane change assist and the other newer BC features.

This is the case with me, my 2024 was delivered with 1.2. How would I go about updating the IPMA software?

It hasn't been released for the 2024's yet.

Ok, just so I understand, even if I had FDRS, the 1.4 BC update doesn’t yet exist for my 2024 KR? Or it hasn’t been released for OTA yet?

The dealer quoted me $195 per module for updates and said they normally only update to correct a problem. Time for me to head over to the FDRS DIY thread.

Your 2024 shipped with 1.2.

Last weekend I update all the modules on my 2022 F150 KR, except for the BCM. I do not know if I followed the order listed.
How do I use Forscan to enable Blue Cruise 1.4 or anything newer than 1.0

Message and give me a bit; perhaps until tomorrow.
