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

When this update is applied through fdrs with a laptop, you have to have a small micronuclear reactor providing auxiliary 12v power to the truck. How is this update installing OTA without shore power? Did someone finally write some software that isn't moronic and keeps the DC-DC converter on?

Great question, me too. I thought of the exact same thing as I’m hearing the swarm of bumblebees under my truck during the BC 1.4 update lol.

EV OTA's that require the vehicle to be inhibited use the HVB to feed the LVB during the install process.

EV OTA's that require the vehicle to be inhibited use the HVB to feed the LVB during the install process.

But for reasons likely beyond any logic or reason, doing the same update through FDRS does not?

Actually they didn't used to and now only some can. It depends on the module being updated

It does not. That's why FDRS asks you to make sure you have a proper power supply connected before you update any module.

Thanks for the clarification. I knew they didn't always do this, but I did not know it was module specific.

Will getting this OTA remove me from needing CSP 24B56? Also, has anyone established if being flagged for 24B56 would for some reason inhibit the OTA?

 

[The Weatherman]

No and No. you need to take it in for the CSP.

I don't know which post but IIRC someone asked this question already in this thread and a person who got the OTA replied they did not have the CSP done. EDIT: see post 23

So what are they going to do for the CSP if the OTA has already updated the IPMA??

 

[The Weatherman]

If they could OTA the CSP that came out lately, they would have and never sent the CSP notices.

If an update for one module is not available, they skip it.

I had one dealer do the CSP but they didn't do the PSCM, they just did the IPMA. They never cleared it from my list. So I took it to another dealer. IPMA was not available but PSCM was, so they did that.

These guys do this all day long, won't be the first time a recall/CSP/TSB tells them to update something that's already been updated.

I’ve had 10.1.1 since November 13. No BC 1.4 yet. 23 Lariat ER

 

[Runaway Tractor]

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

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

Whenever you feel bad about being behind the latest drop, just remind yourself that there are people like me still on 6.2 or worse.

They probably effed you on the 5.x and now the 7.x 8.x & 9.x’s.
