Blue Cruise Not allowing hands free

[aschul]

Hey Jesse! I'm having the same exact issue. Showing the 9/10 date and also saying that there are no updates available. Could you also send me over the instructions to get this updated? I'll send you a PM with my email as well. Thanks!

@Jesse-Infotainment to the rescue once again. THANK YOU! Easy instructions and not a heavy lift to do. My truck is updating right now!

Just pop the USB stick in the front USB hub and turn the truck on.

Edit: So Jesse, is it possible that if a previous GWM update had not been applied that you would have to apply it first and then wait for FDRS to populate with the next/latest one before you could get the map update?

I don't keep a record of the various mouse-over Gxxxxx-x numbers associated with each update, so I don't ever know if what FDRS is making available is actually the latest.

I can send updates IF the truck has reported as current state. As long as the last update wa installed in fdrs or via OTA I can offer the next update via usb but that update won’t be shown as complete until the truck is hooked up in fdrs Or it self reports

you can ask the dealer if you pleasure getting your nuts kicked in.

That is just funny right there!! thanks for the laugh

Shows you actually have an update pending as well since the 7th.

Hi Jesse-Infotainment,
If you have time, please check my new to me 2021 F-150 1FTFW1ED2MFB07208 2.17.2021 build.

I'm on Power-Up 2.7.4 and it seems like it should be higher.

I added a new wifi 2.4ghz routing in the Garage ( wouldn't connect to Orbi).
Thank you!
Jim

You will need to manually update. I dont think youll be seeing any OTAs. I dont see why the last one failed to complete. You are close but you can either keep waiting or get the updates installed manually

 

[Bigjim2]

Thank you!
On doing updates manually, that would be at the dealer, right?

Holly crap-o-la, not sure if ordering my 2023 was good or not. I have trouble with my laptop and android phone. I won't text and drive, sure hope I don't have to update and drive, LOL. Hope it doesn't cause me more stress to go along with traffic rage.

Yes unless you buy the cable

You could just pretend it's like every vehicle you ever purchased and what you bought is what you took home?
Oh, and avoid this forum so you won't even know you are missing anything.

Just messing with ya.
But I bet there are literally thousands and thousands of these trucks in driveways and garages and the owner hasn't heard of an OTA update.

The salesman that I have gotten 3 Powerboost trucks from drives a 2021 KingRanch Ecoboost and he has no interest in his truck being up to date. I mean he wouldn't object to it, but his is 14 updates behind and I've tempted him numerous times. He shruggs.

My hands free bluecruise won't work because the map is out of date (10/09/22). OTA says no updates available. Stuck and a bit pissed off that a month old $65K truck has a feature not operable because Ford can't figure out OTA software downloads.

Thanks Snakebitten, me and tech just don't mix. I'm sure in my old age, I'll stress, get angry, and remember it's just a simple thing that cost way to much to hit. LOL I'm still excited at the idea of getting a new truck. When I bought my 2025 Chevy LTZ, I thought that would be he last truck I'd buy. But with all the new cool upgrades, me and my retirement decided I deserve something more. But seriously, thanks for responding.

Hi Jesse, I'm having trouble with my BlueCruise not activating. I don't have an option in my connected services and the About page in my Sync 4 does not show an active subscription. I tried calling Ford, but after four transfers to different desks, got disconnected. Hopefully you can help?

My VIN is 1FTFW1RG9MFC58194

'21 Ford F-150 Raptor 37 and it came with the Ford Co-Pilot 2.0

Thanks in advance!

Hi, The Raptor had BlueCruise roll out canceled. Ford stated its not compatible with the Raptor. So they refunded the original buyers the cost of the Prep package.

I know that they could make it work but Ford says they cant. I dont know why but that is the official Ford line.

Unofficially.. well.. I know better

I thought ford announced no Blue cruise for the Raptor. Owners were notified they would not be getting blue cruise

Well, that's disappointing to say the least. I never received any communication, but I'll do a search to see what I can.

Thanks for the very quick reply.
