I'm looking at buying a 2022 701A platinum, window sticker here:
https://www.windowsticker.forddirec...cguid=SH-a5654e8c-000d-c166-3911-15df1e14fd3f

(has been imported back into US btw)

and looking at this 2022 order guide, it appears the 701a should have the Ford Co-Pilot360™ Active 2.0 included as part of the 701a package:
https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/att...516fe94cfbe83aaab342bb&force-system-browser=1

But the window sticker doesn't mention it and on a quick test drive i didn't see it in the driver assist menu, and the sales guy didn't think it had it.

So I'm assuming at this point the truck has the hardware, but the software did not exist when the truck was built, is that correct?

I found a link about having to update software to be able to get this?
https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/ecu-module-programming-guide-using-fdrs.8249/
so If i get this software updated, assuming there is a subscription to actually get blue cruise? Am I better off getting the dealer to install this vs DIY?


Thanks in advance!

Should have come ready to go, I wonder if there is some sort of regional lock. Maybe check In on the FDRS thread so someone can check the strategy files.

I'd be surprised if you could find a dealer to install Bluecruise if it doesn't come equipped with it.

Have you seen the interior of the truck?
The tell tale sign of Bluecruise is the 2 infrared lights and the eyescanning 3rd plastic lens.

You will see them very easily if you know where to look.

Look at the infrared lens pointed to in this picture. (purple glow)

I see it was a Canadian truck . Does blue cruise function in Canada, especially Quebec? If the hardware is there, then the software should be able to be installed. My 21 job1 platinum has blue cruise . Good luck.

I think this is one of the sensors?

I also am not sure if blue cruise works in canada, but a regional lock seems plausible.

Would strategy files be something I find on the vehicle?

I have a 2022 PlatinumPowerBoost with 701A that I ordered and it took 10 months to get. I got it July 26th 2022. I will share that I received a telephone call from the dealer during my waiting around April that he said Ford was removing some features from the trucks at the plants and that mine seemed to be ok as it was assembled March 24-25th and I made it through assembly. They were removing items like the driver assist 2.0 and another feature at the time that were critical to BlueCruise. I told the dealer that it better have everything I ordered on it. He said that the online window sticker shows it had it so we should be good. ---I share because this is what was going on in 2022. He said if it were not on the sticker, it didn't have it. I do not have full interior lighting (no cupholder, console, storage area, glovebox lighting but I do have plug ins and plastic covers where lights would be. The sensor cover being on the column does not necessarily mean it is there- just sayin.

So i posted this before I bought the truck. After I bought the truck, I created a ford pass account and without me doing anything, blue cruise started working. Go figure?
