Does blue Cruise require the connected NAV service as well?

I have a 22 tremor with Bluecruise and it came with a 3 year free trial. That just expired on Oct 8th along with the connected Ford navigation. I got a free extra year of blue Cruise which I did activate and if I look in the app my new expiration for blue Cruise is Oct 2026, but not the connected NAV.

I tried blue Cruise on an interstate I know it usually works on, and it never went hands free, it always had the nanny asking me to touch the wheel.

I'm just curious if it was a fluke or if I can expect Bluecruise to not go fully hands free anymore? I'm going on a trip tomorrow so it'd be nice, but I'll also never pay for it.

This is what I see in connected services.

No, BlueCruise should definitely function on its own without any other dependencies.

Thanks for the confirmation, I'll have to try on a longer stretch of road.

Great success, maybe it was the weather or I was just out of a construction zone the other day, but it worked like a charm tonight. Looking forward to my 200mile road trip tomorrow.
