Can anybody share if beyond BC 1.3, 2021s are getting some of the nifty Sync 4a updates that have subsequently been sent out to the 2022-23s?

Does 1.3 also add the Karaoke? With kids I feel like this may be the more important upgrade if OTAs are back on the menu.
No. This BC 1.3 OTA only updates the CCM (cruise control module), CMR (camera module rear), IPMA (image processing module A), and the PCSM (power steering control module).

No APIM SYNC module code.

Not yet, no changes to the main screen

Don't forget this is the last Ford for every 2021 whiner.
Probably. And I also won’t renew BC at anything close to Ford’s laughable asking price in two more years. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t want the software subscription I purchased to be kept up to date.

The point of EA is to make sure that it works on a bunch of guinea pigs before pushing it out to the fleet.
That's the point of EAP. The point of EA is to get VW out of trouble. ;)

FYI, I just had our garage do all the updates for my GT 2021 and I still don't have BC 1.3. There was a sync 4a update that needed to do the USB memory stick update but after doing the whole list, still no BC 1.3

I am guessing there is a config file that only comes OTA. So my wait continues.

You can update the config files in Forscan yourself to get BC 1.X. I've had it for quite a while now. I wonder if doing the FDRS updates is going to stop me getting BC 1.3 by Ford. I'm assuming these are a complete set of new updates to the modules and they're just not in FDRS yet. Ford has done that in the past, where they're sending something out OTA and you cannot do it in FDRS yet.

Did you pay the garage to install all of the latest available updates? This can be very expensive.

Dealerships will normally just install those module updates that are required to fix issues for which they can be reimbursed as warranty work. This includes solving problems you have reported, recalls, and CSPs.

If you still having that fault for the forward camera you will loose the BC capabilities. Adaptive Cruise is off line. Lane centering is off and one pedal driving is off. If the fault persist you need to take it to the dealer.
1.3 will not fix the fault. Sorry.
Why would 1 pedal driving be deactivated when there is a camera fault. It does not use the camera as far as I can tell. I still need the brake pedal if I approach a stopped car and release the go pedal a bit too late, and will stop to early if I start too early. These are things I would expect a camera might be able to adjust automatically.

No. our company has our own maintenance garage that has the software for updates. We did them all until is said there wasn't any to install.

How long do you think it will be until this rolls out to everyone with a 2021?
Typically it goes to general release a week after I install. It does seem that EAP is more to test the OTA delivery unless it is an exclusive EAP feature, but if that I get an email asking me to opt in. Those opt in ones I have had for up to a year before others got, but with BC it was just straight delivery. I am guessing they are aiming for before the Xmas holiday.
