This video will show you how easy it is to automatically update your SYNC 3 system using Wi-Fi as new software becomes available.*
SYNC 3 - the new communications and entertainment system from Ford - features high-speed performance, conversational voice recognition, a smartphone-like touch screen and an easy-to-understand graphical interface.**
*Optional Navigation System map updates cannot be received via Wi-Fi® and require a separate update.
**Available feature. Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control. Only use SYNC/other devices, even with voice commands, when it is safe to do so. Some features may be locked out while the vehicle is in gear. Not all features are compatible with all phones. Message and data rates may apply.

The lack of quality in Ford's software products and update procedures is astonishing, but not surprising. They are trying to drive you to visit a dealer so you will have to pay them money for the update.

Update gets to about 30% and stalls. The update dies and screen says” Last Checked for Updates: 08-23-2019 10:07:36AM”. I have attempted to download the update to USB but there are two corrupt TAR.GZ files in the zip folder that will not unzip. I have tried this on multiple PCs and Macs and the same files are corrupt every time. Ford needs to do a quality check on their hosted files or offer another download server for the update. The main reason I want the update is because of the GPS speed is inaccurate when connected to an Apple product like waze, life360, etc. Please reply is you know another fix.

Thank you Ford for this Sync 3 !... I've been sarcastic ...🙄 Update, not update, I don't know what's happened, I've just got an very nice "black screen" from infotainment. So, I have an Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020 model, witch I bought last year, in June. 5 years warranty, right ? What can I do with this now? No back-camera, no clima control, no music, no navigation... It's quite frustrating, don't you think? Payed a bucket of money for this pick-up and I can not enjoyed. Now, I just have to go to some Ford service-shop to fix your problem, in my free time ? And, until they will fix "the problems", because I have a few, I have to rent a car. Nice ! Well done Ford !

If only it was this simple. It doesn't work, period. Auto update didn't work, and manual update spends 2 hours scsnning for updates, thrn the next several hours "downloading". The closest I've got to it completing the download in a 12hr shift, is about 60%. And it does NOT resume where it left off, next day. Please spare me the suggestion that it's a slow wifi connection.

Downloaded the Sync3 latest update to a 32GB USB and waited a few weeks until I planned a trip over 2 hours as suggested by Ford. I tried it today, but after over 3 1/2 hours of driving and leaving the car engine running, it still showed "system updating". It never finished the update!

Loooove my 2020 F150 and Sync 3 (and I do aftermarket car audio for a living!) but the latest update left a glitch, navigation voice volume reverts back to volume 8 or so, despite me adjusting it during prompts to 4 or 5. Super annoying on a recent trip! Every single time!

If you leave it on "auto update" you constantly get a notice covering your screen that there is no WiFi available. So when you leave your home's WiFi range this notice pops up. You clear it and a few minutes later it pops up again. Very enoying. And before you say "cell phone WiFi", not everyone wants to pay for unlimited data on their phone. We are not all teenagers living off of daddy's joint phone plan.

My 2017 Lincoln MKZ will not update via wifi because the 3g modem no longer can read the new stuff. The option is to download the update to your computer and then to an exFAT USB. Supposedly, when inserted in the correct port it will automatically transfer to the vehicle. Mine will not. The CHAT folks then say to go to the dealer where they will charge money to install. I could buy a new modem but that is big bucks. Maybe SYNC is just a sales scam and not worth it. I may give up.

@GoGlennR 6 ай бұрын

I tried the update from a 32GB USB today, and drove around for 3 1/2 hours to keep the engine running! It still did not complete the update which, according to Ford, should have taken only 2 hours! Now a Sync3 message appears stating "system updating" every time I start my car!😳

2019 Fusion. 85% of the time I start my car it tells me it needs to "finish updating, and to do so I need to connect to wifi". I am already connected to both my home and work wifi networks, with full bars of signal strength. When I go to "scan for updates" it spins for 3-4 minutes like it's searching, then just returns to the update menu. Haven't tried the USB method yet but from what I gather there's a small chance of success.
