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

[Labs4Lightning]

I don't understand how ford ignores their early 22 adopters/owners. We deserve all the updates and fixes first. We are the group who have subscription Blue cruise 1.0 that next year expires. Hello Ford 22 Lightnings deserve new OTA'S and new software first. The 22 owners paid a huge premium during covid for these trucks and deserve better!

Early adopters? How about full price payers, would be more accurate

Oh I didn't know the CSP was more than the IPMA. On the app it just says IPMA.

See Dealer and Tech Bulletins here. The first dealer's tech cancelled the PSCM when it popped up according to the FDRS log (thanks to @Mike G for that).

Back on topic, this BC 1.4 OTA is also updating both IPMA and PSCM modules. See post 60.

I work at nasa, and this thread now has a higher density of acronyms than any of my work meetings.

That, sir, is genuinely funny.

Not even touching the level we used at IRS ......................

If anyone is interested, look up Document 6209, filled with tons of it.

So for those wondering if your truck will OTA update to BC 1.4 if you have certain outstanding CSP’s. Mine did with both still not done yet. I’d say yes based on my experience

23B70 “Battery monitor sensor replacement”
& 24B56 “Inoperative front parking sensors - software update image processing module a”

both not yet completed yet….
BC 1.4 working just fine.

Excellent!

Dealer refused CSP update a few weeks ago so trying again Monday.

I had the same problem back in August. Came back to the forum and found Mike G.'s post of the original CSP bulletins to owners and dealers. It's pretty clear all vehicles within the affected time range get the sensor update:

To celebrate 2025, after the New Year, I plan to get Ford to nudge my dealer, and then, hopefully, I won't have to haggle with my service rep to get it done.

I do have a question about some of the verbiage in the BC 1.4 update where it states we have one button activation. I have always had this. When I am on a BC compatible road and I press the cruise button it enables BC. How is this different on this version?

I was thinking the same exact thing.

Believe that BC will now automatically turn on Lane Centering should you happen to have it turned off. No need to push another button to turn on Lane Centering and then activate BC.

Do you have the lane change animation..or just a text announcement when it happens?

From my experiences as a person who always has had lane centering turned off while using cruise control only and have very rarely been using BC, it changed this. Now with BC 1.4 when I turn on cruise control on the interstate it defaults to turning on lane centering and with that one button of turning on cruise control my truck now defaults lane centering to on and starts BC driving immediately. In the past my lane centering stayed off, then I would have to turn it on, then wait for BC to eventually start. The caveat for me is when not using BC, I now have to turn off lane centering each time.

Reminds me of the sport driving mode change sticky setting that went away and changed some time ago. Reminiscent of the Paula Abdul song lyrics “One step forward, two steps back….”

It was a short drive Friday night and I’ll do a repeat on the interstate today and I’m going to check as I really cannot recall. I’ll confirm later today on this.
