BlueCruise 1.3 Software Update (Coming Soon): Reminder + Tips!

1. Have Automatic Software Updates turned ON – this keeps updates coming as they roll out.
2. Set a Recurring Schedule – software updates may happen seamlessly in the background while you are driving, while others may require you to park and exit your vehicle so set the schedule for a time when you know you won’t need to drive the vehicle, like overnight.

• Go to “Settings” on your vehicle’s SYNC screen
• Choose “Software Updates”
• Toggle “Automatic Updates” to ON

• Go to “Settings” on your vehicle’s SYNC screen
• Choose “Software Updates”
• Press “Schedule Updates” or “Recurring Update Schedule”

• Don’t skip your Ford Power-Up software updates – this impacts all future updates
• If an update requires you to be parked, you will receive a reminder in your vehicle (24 hours prior) and in your FordPass App. You can reschedule up to 2 mins before the update begins.
• Software updates are not deployed to all vehicles at the same time and are done on a rolling basis – for example, your neighbor might get an update before you do.
• While not required, we recommend connecting to Wi-Fi for an improved update experience. If Wi-Fi is not available, your update will be delivered using the built-in cellular connection with your vehicle modem.

I've been waiting on a new APIM for 3+ months now. I have never had BlueCruise or received an update because of it for a 2021 CA Route 1. It's been a very frustrating experience, and by the time BlueCruise eventually works, I will be outside the trial window. Is there anything you can do to speed up APIM delivery or extend my BlueCruise trial @Ford Motor Company?
