Bummer!My truck has been trying to install 2.8.1 for three days… I’ve tried all the tricks of putting a trickle charger on it, etc.
Always fails to update!

So I got 2.8.3 last night. No alert or notification, but when I checked the app, it says it installed 7/29. I just went out to the truck and can now can select multiple daysI'm at 2.8.2 and I cannot schedule multiple days
I finally got 2.8.3 yesterday while driving home from work. I took it out for a spin last night, and I am happy to report that everything works as it should. I don’t know what other OTA updates I should be expecting, but it is my understanding that this was the
“Big one”.
There is.Does anybody know what the latest update is? I know that it varies by trim. I wish we had a wiki page like there is for the Mach-e.
Oh now that I look again, I see F-150 info clearly. Maybe there is a different site floating around or maybe somebody has changed that page. It used to be (or maybe a different site I was looking at before) very Mach-e-centric, listing things like the “frunk” button and saying nothing about hitch view on cameras.
From what I’ve been told the October 9, 2022 date is when the BlueCruise map expires, not the BlueCruise subscription. Hopefully we get new maps on a timely basis.Just got off the phone with Ford OTA and connected services teams. My VIN is now compatible, updated to the latest version and Revision, but one last and final crucial step. Blue Cruise is functioning and all hardware, firmware and software is correct, except that you have to visit the Ford website, www.Ford.com/connectedservices and ACTIVATE the Blue Cruise subscription. The dealer that updated my truck will push my VIN to Ford through Ford and this will notify connected services that I should be good to go. Test drive yesterday was successfull, all indications are that my VIN is waiting for activation. My Sync screen states BC is available through October 9, 2022, however the letter I rec'd from Ford states "we'll be providing you with one (1) full year of complimentary Ford BlueCruise, once the hands-free driver assist feature is activated and functioning." We'll see what happens over the weekend between the Ford servers, my wi-fi, OTA communication and my VIN. FWIW - my wife thinks I'm obsessed, but for a loaded Lariat with all the bells and whistles, it should work as promised.

Not yet. OTA team and Ford Pass team said give it up to 3 business days. Don’t really know what the hold up is. I only see Blue Cruise coming soon on my Ford Pass app.
