Ford vehicles equipped with Ford BlueCruise come with either a 90-day complimentary trial period, or an included connected service plan duration, starting from your vehicle's warranty start date.

Starting with the 2023 model year Mustang Mach-E produced after June 30, 2023, and for all 2024 model year vehicles equipped with BlueCruise, you have the option to purchase three years of BlueCruise access for $2,100 when you buy the vehicle or you will receive a 90-day complimentary trial. At the end of the initial complimentary trial or included plan duration, you can choose to purchase an annual plan, currently available for $800, or a monthly plan for $75 per month.

Pricing is subject to change.

To purchase a BlueCruise Connected Service plan after a complimentary trial expires, visit the Connected Services tile on your Ford Account. An active Connected Service plan is required to use BlueCruise.

To see which Ford Power-Up software update you currently have, go to the SYNC® screen in your vehicle — go to Settings and select Software Updates. The Update Details section will include the latest Ford Power-Up software update that your vehicle has received.

Vehicles eligible for newer versions of BlueCruise will receive those updates via Ford Power-Up software updates on a rolling basis. The table outlines which Ford Power-Up software update delivers the corresponding version of BlueCruise. If you do not see your vehicle listed here, that means it isn't yet eligible to receive an updated version of BlueCruise. 

To make sure you are able to receive the latest Software Updates, turn ON Automatic Updates and set a recurring schedule for a time that your vehicle is typically parked (like overnight). Visit our Ford Power-Up software updates page for more details.
