Final Steps to Bluecruise email

[YzermanTopShelf]

I got the email a couple weeks ago and the upgrades were going smoothly. Unfortunately my latest update is failing - version 2.5.1. I've tried it 3 times now and twice I got a message in FordPass acknowledging that it failed. Message on the phone says there will be some instructions on the in-vehicle screen, but there isn't anything when I startup the truck.

@Jesse-Infotainment - is it possible to determine why my upgrade is failing? I'm wondering if I need to connect to my wifi network.

Edit - it just failed a 4th time

I successfully updated to 2.4.3 last night. Surely that doesn't mean that I need 8 more updated to get to 2.5.2. (I believe the announcement was 5-7 updates depending on truck configuration & features)

Any idea how many updates I have yet to go to be fully Bluecruise enabled?

You'll need 2.4.4, 2.4.5, 2.5.1, 2.5.2, and 2.5.3.

I was on 2.3 for quite awhile, I got 2.4.3 last night. Once people get this far, are they experiencing subsequent updates daily until they get to 2.5.3 - or is it completely random?

AI believe anything after 2.4.3 is early access only other than FDRS updates.

I got 2.4.3 on March 1st, 2.4.4 on March 3rd, 2.4.5 on March 5th, and the first attempt at 2.5.1 on March 9th. It turns out I didn't have my parking brake set that evening (which is one of the preconditions for an update that that can't be done while the vehicle is being operated), so I didn't get a successful update until March 10th. I got 2.5.2 on March 11th which enabled Blue Cruise and 2.5.3 on March 14th which updated the Settings menu for Driver Assistance to match those for Job 2 trucks.

I am enrolled in Early Access (since Sept 2021), but have not heard any updates due to being in that program. I just logged into my dashboard there and it didn't provide any insight.

Ok, well from what I have seen for early access they show up when they show up and when they do its hit or miss. Some have been stuck at 2.5.1 failing. This is a HUGE update. To put into perspective this update done through FDRS is 5-8 hours. There are as build changes made. So a lot can go wrong. I think a lot of the issue if fords stupidity of only doing 8GB in the gateway.

The ota when it hits only takes about 2 hours in car comparison to through FDRS. The ipma update is huge.

2.4.3 is part 1 IPC update
2.4.4 is part 2 IPC update

2.5.1 is the giant 4 module update.

2.5.3 is a APIM update.

All are large. The CMR update through FDRS is about an hour. IPMA 3 hours. IPC can be 12 hours if your USB errors out and you are relegated to canbus. CCM isnt too bad.

Just letting everyone know what they are up against and the slightest infraction fails it. Meaning if its in the middle of the update and you say start the truck you just interrupted it. Until the mothership see the updates that are prerequisite are done it wont process the next one.

I had a post earlier in this thread that has the list of preconditions necessary. Make sure they are all met. My issue was I believe low battery voltage - updated after a long drive (three hours) and it finally went after being stuck for a week.

If you still can’t get it I have the number of OTA team - they helped me.

For those that received the 2.4.1 update a question. My Ford Pass App says I am on 2.4.1 as of February 21st, but when I check the update screen in the truck it says my last update was 2.3. I haven't received any updates since. Is having a different installation reported on the Ford Pass App than in the truck common?

I've seen other people mention seeing software update versions in their Fordpass app. I have both a F-150 PB and a Mach-E and cannot find software versions anywhere in the app for either of my vehicles.

Can you tell me where to look for this info?

Thanks,

Mike
