Ford BlueCruise 1.3 is coming soon

[Neil4Real]

If you have a beta version of an App from Ford, then you’d report bugs to Ford using the ”Give Feedback” button within the beta app.

I also don’t think there’s any beta builds for android right now, but that could change any day.

Now I’ll shut up before Ford throws me in EAP jail

I think you could do with looking up the definition of "before" lol

Android 14 beta 5. Or did the public drop?

No email here, no EA for me. I generally get the updates 2-4 weeks after the initial ones go out. Then I just look at the forum longingly. btw wasn't that the exact same release notes we all got a few weeks back?

Dayum Ford! You've had a busy day in my inbox!

Just in from Ford:

​

​ ​ Ford BlueCruise 1.3 is coming soon The Ford BlueCruise 1.3 software update is coming. It significantly enhances hands‑free highway driving performance overall including greater ability to navigate narrow lanes and curves. To help ensure you get the latest and greatest to your vehicle, make sure you: 1. Turn ON Automatic Software Updates – this keeps updates coming as they roll out 2. Set a recurring schedule – choose a time that is most convenient for you so you never miss a non‑drivable Software Update Additional tips: • Connect to Wi‑Fi for improved installation speed • Don’t skip updates – this will impact future updates • If an update requires your vehicle to be parked, you’ll be notified through the FordPass® App ahead of time • Not all updates roll out at the exact same time – for example, you might receive it before your neighbor • After an update, you’ll receive a notification in FordPass®detailing what’s new • Visit Ford.com/support for more information​ How to schedule updates​

​

​ ​ *BlueCruise requires a Connected Service plan that provides regular map updates, FordPass® App, and modem activation. Ford BlueCruise‑equipped vehicles come with either a 90‑day trial or a 3‑year BlueCruise Connected Service plan, after which purchase is required. See ford.com/bluecruise for BlueCruise availability and version details. See the Connected Services section of your Ford Account for your BlueCruise Connected Service plan status and available plan options. Driver‑assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle. Ford BlueCruise and Lincoln BlueCruise are hands‑free highway driving features. Only remove hands from the steering wheel when in a Hands‑Free Blue Zone. Always watch the road and be prepared to resume control of the vehicle. It does not replace safe driving. See Owner’s Manual for details and limitations.​

Okay.. I got the email. I guess an email like this is a new thing? So when will this happen?

Soon*

Soon*

I knew the answer.. All I can say, I get updates all the time with the Tesla. My hope is Ford with catch up with the times.... Soon*

 

[elmedico27]

here's a magical question...

Since ford release notes are so verbose...

How will we actually know when we get 1.3...

I’m gonna put a giant “BLUECRUISE 1.3!!!!” on the GitHub page, release notes be damned

 

[elmedico27]

Are you sure that they won't say:

This update updates things that needed updating. Those things have now been updated by this update.​

Don’t forget:
Because of this update, future updates will update better.

Define “all the time.”

I get updates every few weeks on my Mach E.

Luckily Ford’s definition of “soon” is measured in weeks while Tesla measures it in years.

Some time between soon and soon™

I have no confidence that I will see BC 1.3 before year’s end, or an adjustment of the 5 second limiter. I just want the car that was advertised.

 

[Rt1AWD]

I got used t 1.0. It works well...ish for me.

I think we are still in for a long wait. The last time a "coming soon" email arrived in my inbox was early December to announce the SYNC 4A improvements with the volume dial. Power-up 4.2.2 with the changes wasn't deployed until March, three months after the "coming soon" email.

So if "coming soon" = 3 months in Ford time, we won't get BlueCruise 1.3 until after Thanksgiving.
