Coming soon: BlueCruise 1.3

[kennelh]

I am non EAP, I have 6.13.

I received it OTA on December 12th 2023.

I have experienced a couple issues.

The 1 MPH when stopped and a couple times I have received front collision assist messages when in park.

Bluecruise has continued to work though.

The 1 MPH bug appeared with 6.8.0. I have it and never got 6.13.0 (Job 1 2022)

I have only seen the 1 MPH once since I got 6.8. Most of the time it is a Zero when stopped. Either that or I am not noticing it when it is there. BTW, no updates for mine since I got 6.8. Nada one.

For anyone who’s curious, I called the Ford OTA team and I was told we can expect it (1.4) OTA mid-march. Not sure how accurate that is, but the representative seemed much more informed than other representatives I spoke to in the past.

Also the rep straight up told me 1.4 and I don’t know if that slipped out, but seems like they’re not really trying to keep that secretive anymore (probably because we all already know).

Our team at Ford is continuing to improve BlueCruise to make hands-free highway driving even better for you. We have a pleasant surprise for our Mustang Mach-E customers. We are delivering our latest software version of BlueCruise – BlueCruise 1.3 – even faster than anticipated.

• BlueCruise 1.2: Includes Lane Change Assist allowing you to change lanes by tapping the turn signal and once the path is clear and In-Lane Repositioning which helps keep the vehicle in its lane while subtly shifting position away from vehicles in adjacent lanes
• BlueCruise 1.3: Building on the previous version with all of the features of BlueCruise 1.2, it will help you stay engaged in hands-free mode longer including around curves and narrow lanes.

Mustang Mach-E customers with model years 2021-2023 equipped with BlueCruise can receive the update to BlueCruise 1.3 via a Ford Power-Up software update once it starts to roll out to vehicles later this summer. This means that vehicles with BlueCruise 1.0 and 1.2 will be updated to BlueCruise 1.3. Note, Ford Power-Up software updates are not deployed to all vehicles at the same time and this update will happen in waves.

To ensure you get this update and all the other latest and greatest software updates 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 what is most convenient so you never miss a software update

For Mustang Mach-E customers who placed an order after May 2, 2023, or the vehicle was produced after June 30, 2023, your new electric pony will be delivered from the factory with BlueCruise 1.3.

Cheers to the next version of hands-free highway driving rolling out!

I have a 2021 MME and enjoyed BC for over a year. Now that I paid my $600.00 for three years, I have no Blue Cruise. Just got off phone with In Vehicle Tech and was told Ford is aware but no date given as to when it will return. What gives?

There was an update that caused BC to stop working for many people. The update to fix the issue is currently being rolled out. Hopefully you get it sooner than later.

Which OTA update is your car on? There was an issue with at least 1 update that broke BC. That has been resolved and is starting to come out. Or us your issue related to a lapsed BlueCruise subscription that hasn’t been reinstated yet?

Is it soon yet?

I really like to drive my car and I just don't see the point of these things I don't wanna do pancake patty cake bakers man while I drive down the road fast as I can. I truly believe that there is a list of things that need to be addressed before any type of self driving functionality. But that is my own personal thought.

Soon it will be soon. But not today.

Well… I don’t know about playing patty cake, but I can tell you that sitting with my hands resting on my legs is much more comfortable than gripping a steering wheel on long drives.

It’s not about driving or not driving my car. It’s about comfort. I “drive” my car plenty. Almost everywhere, in fact, except divided highways.

I'm not sure which group I fall in. I renewed BC on January 3. IT shows active online. But no BC.

Good to know. But did non-EAP people get it?

Not that I know of.

I received 6.13 in December and it broke lane keeping for me. '22 GT and I'm not in EAP.

For anyone who’s curious, I called the Ford OTA team and I was told we can expect it (1.4) OTA mid-march. Not sure how accurate that is, but the representative seemed much more informed than other representatives I spoke to in the past.

You have to take these things with a huge chunk of salt at all times, but I find this plausible. The bugs that stopped the final 7.0 / BC 1.4 rollout seem to have fixes that are rolling out right now, such as the replacement for 6.13, so it does seem plausible that Ford might be just about ready to open the floodgates and switch on BC 1.4 for everyone. Let's see.
