Bummed. Received 2.7.1 10 days ago on the first go round. The update window expired 2 days ago. Nothing since. I check the widget like 20 times a day. Is there no end to the torment? Is it a build date thing? Mine is a 6/1/21 build.

Still no progress of the 2.7.3 OTA. If Ford doesn't push it by tomorrow I am going to purchase a 2 day license and force all the updates with a digital sledge hammer via FDRS.

One attempt every 6 or 12 days is bull.

And my car has been drivien every day since the first failure.

Maybe it's just going to fail again (and again)

2.8.2 Installed! I was surprised I normally donā€™t get updates until after 3pm eastern, but the check mark showed up at the top of the screen around 12:30! I didnā€™t get a notification in the app about the update yet (update: got the notification in the app), but I did get the notification about hands free being available. Immediately got on the highway and it worked!!!!

Welp, it was nice while it lasted. I went out tonight to go for a drive and my phone was ent connecting via CarPlay, so I didnā€™t a sync reboot and CarPlay came back. Got on the highway and no blue cruise anymore. I get the notification that blue cruise is available, but it never kicks in.
Iā€™m wondering if where I donā€™t have 2.8.3 yet, which adds the options for Blue Cruise, the sync reboot somehow screwed it up. I donā€™t have a line for a map date in the sync screen either.

Has anyone else had this happen? I tried leaving the car off for 10 minutes and then going for another drive, no luck.

Update: seems to be back working again thankfully.

I've gotten so many updates in the past two weeks that I've lost count... Still no bluecruise for me though. I think I got 3 or 3 updates last week, this week I've gotten two so far.

If you turn off Automatic Updates it makes it easier to know if youā€™ve got an update incoming because it will give you a notification in FordPass and the widget that you have to accept to install it.

Can confirm 2.8.3 plus the map update worked. Used blue cruise for the first time last night. Worked pretty well. However the highway I was on kind of has a series of left right back and forth wide turns and it seems to keep ping ponging between outer Lines so itā€™s not super smooth. Also tends to hug line on the right when in the left lane so it feels too close to cars in the other lane at times.

Still no retry on 2.7.3 so my MME is in OTA purgatory until Ford pushes or I FDRS the thing.

2.60 update on Job 1 (May 2021 build), non-EA. My FordPass app is not updating which I bet is mentioned somewhere else on this forum. Solutions?
Updating this. After 2.60 update my FordPass didn't work for 2 days. I called the FordPass help desk and they tried to fix it. They said my car's modem was turned off and all the master resets and key cycles didn't fix it. They even made an appointment with my dealer. A few hours later, I started getting FordPass notifications again. I called the help desk back and my modem was back on. I reset everything up again and it all seems normal except my version no longer says 2.60 but only "Your system is up-to-date." Wonder what version I'm on nowšŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

I get that blue cruise takes multiple updates and then cannot push them all at once. I get that some need for patience is required, but this is really getting sad.

I'm sitting at 2.7.4 now for a week, and I know, at least I got something, some people are sitting at 2.6.0 or whatever... But ultimately, the number doesn't matter if nothing significant changes until 2.8.2..

Iā€™d trust that Ford is making sure when you do get it, it installs correctly. Iā€™ve been told they are doing just that.

So, I got BlueCruise installed at the dealer in addition to getting some other software that got me off of 1.7.1. BlueCruise didn't work after that. But, I did start to immediately get updates, and I am up to 2.8.3 and initiated BlueCruise through connected services. Again, no BlueCruise. I don't know if there is supposed to be a mention of it in the center console, but there is nothing there.

What do you think the issue is now?

there was some sort of additional map update I needed to get mine working post 2.8.3.
