Got it. As of right now, the connectivity on your truck is working. The dealer has been working on the truck, so maybe whatever they did fixed it, but as of right now, it shows connected and not reporting any codes that would affect BC. Before today, it was reporting a code in the CCM citing an issue with the forward looking sensor, but that code is gone now. I am assuming that is what was causing your BC to not function as the CCM is directly related to BC performance. Seems like whatever the issue was, it is fixed now.

Yes, the dealer told me the truck was ready. I hope they updated it to BC 1.4. Do you have any information on that?

I hope beta testing overall is going well, that the build is acceptable and no minor wish list items slow down final validation and allow for release to the general population.

I wouldn't call this release beta.....beta would have been the previous IPMA software that was replaced with the current one starting in September, and that older one worked great. I would not say the new one is better or worse than what I had before, tbh. I just think the deployment process is slow and steady as opposed to them opening the flood gates and pushing it out to every vehicle at once.

Glad to hear this, then let the slo-roll continue, but it would be good if they prioritize by model year to give those of us approaching the cusp of the 3 year trial ending a shot at using the latest to make a rational decision about buying an extension.

Agreed, I’m still waiting and would really love to feel it in action.

I’ve got about a thousand miles on it so far and I have nothing really spectacular to report…so that’s good news. I’ve pretty much forgotten it was an update.

@Ford Motor Company This 100%...you want us to sub? Give us the chance to try it out.

yep, still waiting and it seems my current bluecruise is getting flaky, it drops out at the sound of a mouse fart.

Bluecruise update timetable?


Can someone tell me when or if I will get the Bluecruise 1.4 update? Or maybe who to contact to ask?
I haven't got an update since November. Not sure I needed that Karaoke thing

Unfortunately you and I and the rest of the forum are asking these same question. The closest we can get from Ford is it is coming. Similar to you, I haven't received an update since the 10.1.1 update in October, so we're in the same boat as is most of the forum.

There are a few on the forum that have received BC 1.4 and will likely chime in.

@PrimeRisk
other Than bc 1.4 (which isn’t widely released) what do you think you’re missing?
isn’t your Truck awesome?
these are not iPhones that come with features extensions. They are Ford (yawn)

none of the updates since the trucks release have knocked your boots off. Sure they added some niceties.
the only meaningful update would have been some wizardry that improves efficiency by greater than 5%. That ain’t happening with the bricks we drive into the wind.

go be first at a red light, when it turns green, launch it

I bought a 2023 based on my sales person and a video of a Ford Engineer saying that we would all get an update to pro-power with truck off. Still hasn't happened for me and we're in 2025. My issue is with all the promises, lack of communication, and missing updates. I wouldn't have an issue waiting for BC1.4, if the promised 1.2 was released, followed by the 1.3 release. Why are so many trucks on different versions, yet mine is on v1.0. It's a confusing mess.
