Is your truck a job 1? what was the approximate build date?

Yes, Job 1, built in December 2020.

My truck is Job 1 too. Hopefully I get that update soon.

2.5.2 updated the gateway. That makes sense. All the comm settings are in there.. three files updated! Well congrats! Happy you guys are starting to see progress

BlueCruise is working great. Just got back from a 70 mile round trip. Job 1 truck built May 2021

Congrats you ?!

That background sure doesn’t look like the pretty blue shown previously.

I got my final update this afternoon also, and it works great. I'm happy with the free year, given they are a little late. I'm also fine that they are late. I'd rather have it late and right.

He has it set to show the trip data. The screens attached here are for the driver assistance screen which can also be selected. Personally, I think the driver assistance view is totally worthless. I thought that it would indicate if there were vehicles on either side detected but nope.

I agree 100% ford is lazy with their design.
the hardware is certainly capable of displaying much more detail

Man over a year of being the first to get updates and stuck getting errors trying to install 2.5.1 lol.

I’m not mad or even particularly frustrated but the timing couldn’t have been less opportune…

I am just happy for everyone here that this is starting to roll out. It’s been a long trip but glad we are finally getting there!

Just got update 2.5.2 and this popped up in my app. About to go test it out!!!

That's something I was wondering about, how Ford was going to give the free year of BlueCruise. We get it up front for free and after that we can subscribe if we think it's useful. I thought Ford would get us to pay for the three year subscription and make it good for four years.

For those of you who have newly received blue cruise functionality, was it always in your connected services section of your online account? When I bought the truck a year ago it was listed there, then it disappeared. And has not returned. I’m curious if the OTA coincides with that reappearing.

It was not in my online account until I got the final update. The only thing I had previously was the navigation subscription. Now I have that and BlueCruise.

My truck just got Power-Up Software Update 2.5.3. It modified the Driver Assistance menu to show "Lane Centering with Hands-Free" instead of "Lane Centering Assist" and added the "Activation Prompts" option. This brings the menu up to date with what is described in the Job 2 version of the 2021 owner's manual.

I'm stuck on 2.5.1 update and every time I try to update I'm getting an error message

I was having the same issue and after speaking with someone on Ford's OTA In-Vehicle Technology Escalations Team, I was told that one of the pre-conditions for the update to be allowed is to have the parking brake set. I set the brake and then let the scheduled 2.5.1 update go through, and this time it was successful.
