Got a call from Ford today telling me they are extending my BlueCruise which was expiring this month until 4/25 for free. Asked for my feedback with BC. I told him my feedback and that I was really waiting for the BC 1.2 update they announced last September. I really hope they extended it because 1.2 is being pushed soon to those not in early access. Anyone else get called and extended like this? It caught me off guard or I would have asked more questions.

Wrap a wrist weight on the wheel at 3:00. This will fool the truck and lane centering will drive the truck. Search YouTube and you can see this in action. Hands-free BlueCruise not required.

My BC is active until Sept, so hopefully the updates will apply before then. No correspondence from Ford yet.

Makes sense. XLT doesnt have Blue Cruise hands free.

You have XLT in your signature

I cant keep up with every single vehicle. There are people that think the XLT has it.

I did get a call from Ford yesterday, but my spam blocker was acting up so I didn't get to talk to them. I guess that is what it was about.

My mistake on your truck.> If you messaged me in a new message and I didnt have the vin I went by your signature. I get a lot of messages so I have a hard time remembering every truck or person. I get screen names mixed up occasionally also.

If I didnt get you a answer on your BlueCruise I can take a look with your vin and see what the issue is. It is either the date expired or config. One or the other if you have a 22 or up.

I found your vin.

It can be fixed easily if you want. Get forscan and we can fix it.

the other option is a master reset. Not my favorite thing in the world to do but it may force the activation to happen.

I dont believe so and if you have a power boost its not recommended to disconnect the under hood battery without also disconnecting the reserve batteries. It could cause damage.

The master reset actually forces the gateway to reconfigure the activation. I would try it. The battery disconnect wont really do anything
