Just noticed these were available in FDRS. Applied the GWM update which requires a USB stick, and it updated the software from -EKK to -EKL (which is 2.5.2 I think).
Subsequently an APIM update showed up. Im applying it right now. Most likely the same as 2.5.3.
We will see....

Yup, sounds like 2.5.2 and 2.5.3. This should get us to all the modules in the BlueCruise updates.

Completed the APIM as well, with SYNC revision 364.

The GWM is about 250MB, while the APIM is 900MB. Both need a USB stick.

After the GWM USB is inserted, the vehicle has to be off for a while (with your FDRS still connected).
I waited for an hour before proceeding with FDRS (That download has been successful).

If FDRS verification fails, you may have to "retry" verification after some more time.
Do not remove the USB stick. The screen prompt will either tell you that the "Update was successful", or that the "Software is already updated".

So, now the wait for the "Server side" switch to be turned on.

Incidentally, my FordPass widget status was also updated, stating that "2.4.2" was cancelled.
Prior to today it was at 2.4.3 unsuccessful.

Hopefully, everything is up to date for BC to be enabled.

Well, interestingly, the GWM update doesn't show up in FDRS for me. I guess they must be authorizing it by VIN.

Are you in either of vanilla EA or VIP EA?

The GWM update appeared for me today in FDRS. I guess they release it to VINs in waves kinda like OTAs?

Just checked mine. Nothing for me in the UK. (Not that we get blue cruise anyways, but I want my APIM update for extended CarPlay)

I’ll look at mine today. I didn’t have it last night either.
I don't have the GWM update showing as available yet. I self-enrolled in Early Access, and that page shows me as subscribed to Blue Cruise.

I did have 6 modules updated last week, but wouldn't clear from the list. I was able to get three of them to go away yesterday by trying them again. My list still shows ABS, IPMA, and PSCM. Maybe until those become unstuck, I won't get the full BC capability.

Today's morning drive, I hit the cruise button and was welcomed with the Blue screen. So you may have to wait some time before it gets enabled on the server end.

It does look like VIN enablement in batches.
