BlueCruise for older cars in UK

Hi I have a ER Premium MY 21 - it has the tech pack and holds the road superbly but nags for interaction every 30 seconds or so. It has all the hardware to support Bluecruise but just needs a software update. Does anyone know if there is any clarity yet around when this might be available for us older car owners ? There have been a decent stream of OTA updates lately upto 4.2.1.2 so I was wondering if this could be a precursor to Bluecruise. 

Is it still the intention of Ford to rolling this out to the earlier cars that can support it ?

As a response to a group of us who wrote to Lisa Brankin in June, this was the official response at that time, so I wouldn’t hold your breath. 

  • We intend to deploy our BlueCruise technology on eligible pre-2023 Model Year Mustang
  • Mach-E vehicles with the compatible hardware (either AWD vehicle or RWD with Tech Pack or Tech Pack Plus). As pre-2023 MY vehicles were not configured for BlueCruise in the factory we need to develop a way to deliver the updates required to the vehicle. We are making good progress in assessing how we can do that but due to the extensive work involved, at this stage we are not in a position to predict timing, however, we will keep customers with the compatible hardware updated on BlueCruise availability through the FordPass App.

Is there an updated time plan when this deployment will start? My last official statement from Ford EU HQ in Cologne was mentioning Q1/2024.

Please be honest.

V6 power ups now being delivered but still no word from Ford on when BlueCruise will be rolled out to pre-2023 models. 2 years in and I’m feeling unloved compared to our US cousins.

As far as I'm aware V6 powerups are only being delivered to My23 cars and newer.

which is yet another reason to feel unloved by Ford - it reminds me of banks only having offers for new customers, Ford need to remember their early adopters are their potential evangelists and brand ambassadors.  Treat us with neglect and youll see how that damages future sales.
