Ford Extends BlueCruise Trial to December 31

The safari in CarPlay Is an Apple decision. You may want to have a chat with Tim

Bad decision I don't like it at all. I have this big monitor just sitting there as I search on the phone. Makes no sense when in park. Make my phone all keypad and the sync monitor all safari . Not up on it but I was pretty sure it was apple; just so obvious that it is missing for what it opens up. I guess Android is following suit? Will only take one of them and the other will need to follow as that would become a option that many would select. We are OT BCHF till the end of the year

Don't think email is a thing here.

100% this.

Yes. And maybe would they consider annual subscriptions vs 3 years?… Am I keeping this ‘21 for 3 more years after 12/2023?

I sure hope for summer. It doesn't seem it should take longer than that to deploy software that already works.

Like, frunk release?

Exactly where can you look up your current software version of BC?

If you own a 2023, you have BC 1.2. Everyone else has BC 1.0.

Looks like I'm good since I just got BC last week, my trial doesn't end until March 2024 I'd be OK if they wanted to give me another 6 mo though.

He's a 2021, that came without BC. When they got BC (in spring 2022), they got a free year, instead of having to buy 3 years. So, he's getting a ~6 month extension.

My 2022 MME Premium came with 3years of BC.

Yes, all 2022s did. Only the early 2021s came with a prep kit, which was supposed to turn into BC in late summer / early Fall 2021, but it was delayed until Spring 2022.

Now, everyone on of those has been extended until 12/31/22, on the belief by many that BC 1.2 will roll out prior to end of year, and then everyone with BC will get to experience 1.2 and decide if they want to pay to new at expiration.

Only the early 2021s came with a prep kit, which was supposed to turn into BC in late summer / early Fall 2021, but it was delayed until Spring 2022.

And, a good amount of those 21's then immediately got "Front Camera Fault" after the BC OTA, which turned into something like ~6 - ~8 months of unusable BC, so really BC didn't start until winter '22 for a good portion of the early '21 models. That means this "extension" really just means ~1 year of BC for those early adopters.

Pardon me if this has been definitively answered on this thread or elsewhere: is the 360 camera a part of bluecruise? Since I have a 2023 Select, it's supposed to be a subscription. But BC description does not include any mention of the 360 camera. Nor does the 360 camera show up on my connected services screen on fordpass app. TBH, the 360 camera and the look were the two major reasons I chose MME over Y. Not a fan of autonomous driving, but the camera sure comes handy and would like to keep regardless. Maybe someone who have had a 2023 Select more than 3 months can clarify this.
