Do you Have 360+ on your Bronco Sport

[RushMan]

We bought off the lot, and I wish it had the 360+ and Premium Package, but at the time we really needed a car.

Also, I don't know if the cameras are the same, but I have a buddy who ordered a Transit van with all the whistles and bells, and he is having trouble with more than one of his 360 cameras. Apparently a widespread issue with the cameras themselves from whoever makes them for Ford. He has already had one camera replaced and is waiting for parts to have another one swapped out.

I don't know if the cameras or supplier are the same for the BS, but if they have a known issue with hardware, they may be discouraging dealers from ordering that option while they sort it out.

Be glad we don't have the 360 degree cameras...yet. Spy photos, supposedly of the 2025 BS, show it having 360 cameras.

I bought my Badlands off the lot at the beginning of the year with all the options. I had to search around to find it. This dealer had a bunch of Ford Bronco Sports so I got a reasonable deal on it.

I'm less concerned with the Driver Assist features than the current trend in new cars of moving common controls to a touch screen or small non-unique buttons, both of which require the driver's eyes and attention off the road.
I'm no Luddite but this trend in adding more things to the "Infotainment" screen makes new cars less safe.

Exactly. I hate having to go through touch screens for basic controls.

Agreed.

I ordered my 22 Badlands at the end of November 2021. I waited 9 months, but finally took possession on Labor Day 2022. I ordered it with all the bells and whistles. I previously have always had bare bones vehicles, and since this car was a gift to myself, I decided to get just about everything. I have leather seats, heated seats and steering wheel, tow package, moon roof, 360+, the “steely” look wheels and Falken Wildpeak tires. I don’t think the dealers put very many Badlands on their lots, and if they do, I don’t think they add all the options. I also ended up with the WiFi hotspot, even though they had started to delete that option while mine was in production.

The increase in the number of cameras could increase the likelihood that any one camera has failed, but having driven Explorer and Expedition vehicles with the 360 degree cameras -it is a tremendous, tremendous upgrade versus having just the rear camera, or the front camera as an option to complement the rear camera. The view around your vehicle feels like an overhead view from a video game, you can maneuver in tight areas or confidently back up into the middle of a spot with ease.

I am tremendously jealous of spy shots of the 2025 BS showing 360 degree cameras. While I appreciate the larger Sync 4 screen in them, I'm less thrilled by climate control functions being moved to the bottom of the touchscreen. I am a strong proponent of having real buttons for all climate and most radio controls.

Can a dealer add 360+?

No. The required software changes are not a dealer operation, also sensors, parts changes etc...

In theory with enough money, time, effort, and FORScan software with a compatible OBDII reader, it could be done.

For at least the adaptive cruise control portion, someone has done the retrofit and posted a writeup on these forums:

Thank you for the info. This is more than I want to go through.

I bought Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ primarily for the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go.

I disabled Speed Sign Recognition and Lane Centering because I found these are too dangerous for city street driving and in construction zones on freeways.

I also disabled Lane Keeping (Ford Co-Pilot360) because I don’t like its behavior.

True...more than once I've had to go around a UPS truck only to have my Co-pilot either try to keep me in the lane and hit the truck or speed up as I go around trying to take out the UPS driver, of course. I've also noticed that it sometimes can't handle narrow roads very well - and that the more I use it, the lower my mpg's go. Perhaps great for the open highway, but that's about it.

As of April 27 2024,
Two things stand out in the responses so far:
1) Membership is heavily biased towards the Badlands, which is only about 15% of total Bronco Sport Production, yet 50,4% of responses. An older poll made here on which trims are owned by the membership also shows a heavy bias toward the Badlands.
2) 78% of all participants in this poll do have 360+ on their cars.

Just in searching new cars on regional dealer lots, it is very difficult to find a car with Co-Pilot 360+.
One member suggested that dealers may not be ordering 360+ for their stock vehicles.
I'm going to explore this further when I go to my dealership on Monday.

Was that a Green or Blue printed window sticker?
Green means that it was a customer ordered car that was refused,
and Blue means that it was a dealer ordered car for stock.

Printed window sticker…
Green means that it was a customer ordered car that was refused,
and Blue means that it was a dealer ordered car for stock.

My dealership fleet sales manager ordered my Badlands with options I instructed via email (I included 360+) at my request (did not require a down payment), and I purchased the vehicle. No dealership visit was needed except to pay and pick up the vehicle, was simply done with a few emails. Included the Ford $500 discount offer I sent the dealership by email.

The electronic sticker color was green. I don’t remember the color of the physical sticker but I’ll check later.

My window sticker was blue.
