New BlueCruise Version 1.4 - Rollout March 2025

[bmwhitetx]

Updated mine with forscan. Wonder if I will still get the update

Yes

Do you know if the folks who got the EAP version back in December and January will get the Sync /APIM update that adds the sliders?

Not on EAP and I have not had any updates since last fall. Today BC1.4 came in but when I manually installed it, it said my battery was too low. Sigh. I put it on my power supply I use with FDRS (High Amp) and it went through.

Seriously, this weak 12volt battery is getting OLD very fast. I hate to have to put it on a minder every night but it seems it goes too low unless it is driven a considerable bit, all the time.

Many dealers have a Quick Lane service drive. You can just pull in and explain you're getting battery messages. They SHOULD do a quick check and if bad replace it. It has a 3-year, 36K-mile warranty.

Did you have the dealer do the Front Sensor CSP?

I was super excited to read this thread this morning. I ran outside like it was Christmas day , only to discover a lump of coal I had a 4.2.1.2 update last week and when i went in to check my updates i discovered that the ota update section had been reset to off.. booooooo hoping i will get the update soon as well.

My nearest quick lane refuses to do anything to my Lightning. I’m told to go talk to the service department which the service department disputes that quick lane won’t work on them. Pretty sure I’m just given the runaround.

Yes I got the front sensor CSP originally when it first came out outside of the CSP and the dealer did the updates without being on a power supply and toasted my 12 volt battery. So they ended up replacing it. Last month I used FDRS and updated all of my additional modules that said needed updating. I don’t always drive the truck every day so it probably doesn’t get to the point where it knows to charge the 12v. Again this is something I should never even need to think about. In my Tesla the 16v LiIon low voltage battery just remains topped up and I never have to futz with it.

you don’t check for an update every time you start yours?

MY 2022 Lariat ER. Got the window update yesterday but no BC 1.4. Have it on in the driveway just incase it takes some time to come down. Fingers crossed.

Still shows 1.0 BC for 2023. Whoever is responsible for the website needs to update it.

2023 needs to change to BC 1.4
2025 needs to be added with BC 1.4

Hopefully they're just waiting for it to get pushed out to everyone.

Bluecruise 1.4 loaded last night. It was raining this morning so BlueCriuse didn’t want to activate but it did activate long enough for one turn signal lane change. My truck is pretty dirty right now and I’m sure that’s not helping BlueCriuse activation.

Anybody know off the top of their head which camera lenses I need to clean for BlueCriuse to work better? Just an added note, on my last trip to Colorado my Lightning got really dirty because of the snow and BlueCriuse quit working. I drove through a car wash and BlueCriuse started working again.

Yay! BC updated to 1.4 yesterday! Finally!

Speed Sign Recognition (the one many of us turned off) has been renamed Predictive Speed Assist and moved under the ACC sub-menu. As PJ notes the new curve control that comes with 1.4 has caused some issues.

These were noted by the EAP crowd and documented in the original thread.

@Scorpio3d ,thanks for the pics. Looks like they also turned on the sliders in Sync for Lane Change Assist and In-lane Repositioning. Those of us that got the EAP version back in December and January did not get those. Can be enabled with FORScan though.

Also looks like the notes are still for the EAP version looking at @Scorpio3d's screenshots. Notes say:
View attachment 98592

But he already has it.
View attachment 98593

Same goes for the sliders:
View attachment 98594

But they are there:
View attachment 98596

So when I hopped into the truck just now I am not seeing any of these new sliders that the update said will be coming later. I’m not on the early release. Should I be seeing those sliders? I figured that they would come later as noted. I haven’t been able to try BC yet but hope to this weekend.

Curious whart, if and how this trickles down to XLT ER owners? While we don't have BlueCruise, we do have ACC and LKA. Changes in BC 1.4 should benefit us as well.
