You cannot. The 3 years/$600 plan is only for job 1 2021 owners.

Too bad - as much as I would like BC 1.3, I don't think my wallet can justify a 400% subscription price increase. We'll see!

Thanks for all you do to keep us informed.
Happy Holidays to all!

Last OTA I received was on 9/14 and was the online manual update. Feels like I'm behind based on what I'm reading.

Can someone check my VIN for updates sent? 1FTFW1ED4MFC71818

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Nothing has been sent since that update on 9/14. If you've gotten that far, there is nothing wrong with your truck. You just have to wait for your VIN to come up in the next batch of OTA roll-outs.

Wait. I thought they got rid of that completely. Are you saying the will still honor that for my 2021 Job 1 truck? Where can I get more details on that?

EDIT: I just logged into my Ford account and I most certainly can get an additional 3 years of Blue Cruise for only $200 per year ($600 total). Wow. I might have to do this, @rugedraw !

You should get an email about it. Or log into Ford and go to Connected Services and you should see it as one of the offers. It is good till 12/31/23.

My email came in on 12/01.

It probably will if/when BC 1.3 comes out and is allowed to be installed on the 2021s. But I will admit, I see everyone post about these recent, recurring 6.x updates, and I am envious.
I had absolutely zero issues updating my truck with the Mongoose, Clore PL2320 and the 2-day subscription to FDRS. Only took a few hours on a single day.

How far behind were you? Did you have to do any of the USB updates outlined by Rugedraw? What Sync version are you on now?
