2023 and no update yet. I got excited because I got an alert that a “new flextronics device has connected to your WiFi” a lot of times that means one incoming.

I got tired of waiting and trying to figure it out so I scheduled a service appointment and they upgraded the module that was recalled and then did the 1.4 update. It takes five hours. Maybe it's placebo but I feel like the blue Cruise works much much better now.

No zigzag between lanes, longer delay between yelling at you, etc
Can I get a copy of your service record/invoice when they updated you to 1.4? My service rep is asking for it because he said the codes on it will speed up the process of figuring out how to enter it and schedule it for the update.

I just went out to my truck to look at the service record and invoice and there's nothing about it. Just some other issues I had them look at. When I called the service tech, he says they plugged the truck into their system and based on the VIN, they update the appropriate modules. He said the download to 1.4 takes five hours which is why I let them keep it overnight. Sorry I can't be more helpful but it was definitely updated. Blue Cruise 1.4 is so much better than 1.2.

You just asked the dealer to update to 1.4 and they did this with no hassles and free of charge?

Thanks. I'll ask him to do it again when I return for my heated steering wheel in two weeks. He ran into a problem with the service tech when he tried to have it updated for another older truck, so I think he was gun-shy. Or maybe they just don't want to do it?

What dealership did you go to that did this?

Yes. They knew what was going on and had no questions or concerns.
So, you’re saying you now have automatic lane change?

I ask because your description of the improved BC handling is something I have experienced since they did the recent CSP’s, but I still do not have BC 1.4 (Automatic Lane Change).

I received an email months ago telling me it was going to be pushed out 'shortly' to my truck. I think their definition of shortly and mine are dramatically different. If they dont get it to me in the next three months, I wont ever get it as my 3 years is almost up and I am NOT going to pay a nickel for 1.1 and I have no idea if 1.4 is even worth paying for.

The IPMA/PSCM updates for the front censor CSP basically had the lane change/in-lane repositioning features available but requires FORScan to enable. Ford released another set of IPMA/PSCM updates right before Christmas that actually enabled BC 1.4 by default so you'd need the dealer to update those. Note the toggles on the main screen (APIM) to disable are said to come at a later date but it should work without them (or you should be able to enable those with FORScan).

I haven't tried it yet to be honest, I wasn't on my radar. The truck tracks much straighter now, and there seems to be a more significant delay before the nanny cam yells at you.

2023 Lariat. We live in a poor AT&T reception zone and so only get updates when we're traveling. We haven't gone to a good AT&T reception zone since the week after TG, so am not surprised we haven't received the update yet.

Oct '23 build here, and nothing since the 10.1.1 update in Nov.

I have no AT&T cell coverage at the house, although it is taken out to town daily for hours at a time.

If nothing comes through for a month, I will probably do it manually via FDRS.
