Bluecruise 1.4 officially being sent out to F150 & Lightnings starting today (12/11/24)!

[pjell]

I have literally no clue what version I am on. Got a 2024 Flash about two weeks ago and it has lane change assist (have to hit the signal for it to get over), and I'm really wanting a version that passes traffic without me queing it.

All Flashes came with 1.2.

I’m not confident that is true. As I understood one of the techs here, the front sensors csp was required for BC to be pushed or queued.
It still seems it is only for EAP members.
If it makes you feel any better, I had the update done a month ago and no BC1.4 here.

The front sensors CSP called for the dealer to update the IPMA/PSCM modules to the latest version so in essence, the CSP getting done was the equivalent of getting the BC 1.4 update via OTA. The only difference is that with the CSP version, it would not write the config to enable the new features; you would have to enable the BC 1.4 features with FORScan or wait for the OTA version to be sent to you.

Is there a thread giving the proper settings to enable BC after the modules are updated? I browsed the FORScan thread and did not find it.

No, it is not posted publicly. If you or anyone needs the changes, just message me and I'll tell you what to do.

Wow. This really is ridiculous. I would like to have some idea of how Ford decides who gets what. Software updates are all over the place. People still on version 4. Free extensions for many and not others (including myself). A little communication shouldn’t be hard.
There is my unhelpful post.

As Ford sells more EV's, more people will find out how terrible the software update rollouts are. It's just a bad look honestly.

Is anyone actually still getting the bluecruise 1.4 update? Debating between waiting patiently and doing or doing the for forscan mod now that I got the IPMA CSP.

In regards to this OTA:

Some people that already got this update will get it a second time. I thought this was an issue only affecting the Mach E's, but apparently not. The second version will not update the software, but instead correct the config that is preventing one or more of the BC 1.4 features from working on your truck. Notice in the screenshot below that this version states wifi IS REQUIRED. This is one of very few OTA's Ford has ever sent out that require wifi to install.

Wait, so the CSP for the sensor IPMA update was missing configuration data and there is another update for the IPMA that requires wifi to correct the issue?

The CSP version with FDRS of the IPMA update was always missing the config. The OTA version was supposed to write it, but failed to do for many, or failed to write all the config, or failed to write any of the config at all.

 

[rugedraw]

But yes, the config only version of the OTA requires wifi according to PTS. I'd be interested to hear if someone does get it without being connected to wifi.

I just got the BC 1.4 OTA now, so Ford is sending these still. Really curious as to what it does as I had enabled BC1.4 last week via the configuration changes @rugedraw shared with me and it works flawlessly. Says it's a 6 minute inhibit install.

All it does is make the same config changes you made. It will take 1-2 minutes in real time.

Looks like non EAP getting now. A 23 user not in just got...

So your saying there is another pending OTA update for us all to correct config data on the IPMA? Which until then BC 1.4 will not fully function as intended?
