A week ago I posted praise for how well Bluecruise (handsfree) did in the Jersey fog (here).

Well, this past weekend I was driving on EXACTLY the same roads at almost exactly the same time and BC refused to engage handsfree on a perfect clear day. The ACC and lane centering were fine, but I had to keep my hand on the wheel. I was driving eastbound at 7PM so it wasn't a case of BC complaining that the "sun was in my eyes". On the way back home it didn't want to engage handsfree either.

Then I stopped to wipe off the "grille camera", and BC engaged handsfree just fine the rest of the way. Before you say it, no I didn't realize the 2021 RT1 does not have the little washer for the grille camera.

"The more you know"......

**** UPDATE ****
Turns out cleaning the camera was a red herring. I had the same problem with handsfree BC not engaging again today, and wiping the camera off had no effect.
