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.
The cameras are used for such things as when in reverse, are a part of the car and are not a subscription. BCHF is a subscription and requires data from above to function. Lane centering (BCHO) uses sensors and cameras equipped in the car and is also not a subscription is my understanding from here. You should have collision avoidance, blind spot warning etc. also remain which requires the cameras. Think you are ok with the cameras without BCHF.

For anyone else who needs to know the acronyms:
BCHF = BlueCruise Hands Free
BCHO = BlueCruise Hands-On

I believe they put the 360 camera on all cars now and it is a subscription on Selects, as you state. Later, Ford issued a statement saying that the 360 camera was going to become a permanent feature after the trial period and not roll into a subscription model. So your 360 camera should always work, independent of the BC subscription or any other subscription for that matter.

Mine says the same thing! It has been showing that for the last few months.
