Unable To Download Sync Update Ford Website
- Sep 26, 2019 The owner.lincoln website is a mess and Sync update downloads are disabled. In the past 2 weeks I called 'concierge' 7 times, 3 times I heard that website is down and will be fixed by tomorrow, 4 times I was advised to go to the dealer and pay for update, and no, they will not notify when the website is fixed.
- Jul 16, 2018 In this video, I explain the process for upgrading your Ford Sync 3 to version 3. While there is an option to update over WiFi, I found it.
Apr 16, 2014 I had to do a master reset of MFT, so needless to say I need to re-download the latest update for the SYNC, but the website is still showing that I had updated my sync, therefore there is no link to get the update and reinstall it. Ford SYNC 3 and SYNC offer hands-free and smart entertainment and vehicle information systems. Learn more about connecting your phone and your car. Even update your Twitter account, and much more just by asking Siri to do it for you 12. Once activated, the touchscreen turns off to reduce distractions. Close Postal Code.
I downloaded an update from the Ford Owner web site and installed it using a USB drive last week. This is the same drive I've used with previous successful Sync 3 updates for my 2016 Mustang EcoBoost Premium (traded in). I did wipe the drive before doing this update. I went from Sync 3, 3.0 build 17276 to 18025. Sep 29, 2014 Need to know how to update your Ford Sync system. Taira Little from Hoffman Ford will walk you through how to tell if you have an update available, download and update your system, as well as how.
Quick history. Just got my 2013 Flex SEL that was built in Sept. 2012 so it's been sitting for more than a year. I went to update SYNC this morning and it failed. ON my SYNC update page it shows last update Sept. 2012 so the system has never been updated. (You would think the dealer would do this for you).I followed all the steps to update; it starts to update, then I get a message 'You have already updated your software..', Then it shows another screen like it's trying to update, then a 4th screen saying installation failed.
I have followed all the steps:
1. Download file to HD
2. unzip file
3. copy all files to 4GB USB drive (formatted FAT32)
4. Turn on Flex, engine running
5. Radio on
6. Insert USB drive (Install starts automatically but I get the error sequence above. I posted the screen images below. Sorry, they go by quick so camera focus is a little off.
After the first failure I reformatted the USB and tried from scratch with the same results. Any ideas on how to make this work? There is nothing else on the USB drive. I downloaded and installed on Mac OS X but that shouldn't make a difference.
OK, it won't let me attach photos.
1st screen: Installing file..(1 of 10)
2nd screen: You have already updated your software successfully. Please remove the USB drive.
3rd screen: Installing file..(1 of 10)
4th Screen: Installation Failed! The installation has run out of space or does not work with this version.
Anyone knows what my next steps are? Please don't tell me I need to go back to the dealer.

Ford Motor Company periodically releases SYNC® software updates to deliver the most advanced technology and this version was designed to hit some of the issues that have been out there — especially with ease of use.
Updates are tailored to your SYNC with MyFord Touch® system, and will vary based on your system’s current software level. The best way to find out what’s available is to log in to your SYNC Owner account at support.ford.com If you haven’t opened an account at this site, then open one up. The site will tell you if you need the update and guide you through the entire process.
Here is a quick overview of the steps to start the software upgrade:
Step 1 – Connect a USB drive to your computer. Before you begin, please make sure your USB drive is empty, has at least 2GB of free space, and is not password protected.
Step 2 – Get the update. The software download process requires your browser to have Java installed and enabled. If your browser prompts you to run a Java application from Ford Motor Company, please click “Run” to continue. You may also receive a security warning. Please click “Don’t Block” to continue. Be patient. it may take 10 minutes or more to download the software update. And, using other programs during the download will slow down the process.
Now, take the USB from your computer and go to your vehicle…
Step 3– Take the USB drive with the software updates to your vehicle. Turn on your vehicle, and then turn on the radio.
Make sure your car is in a well-ventilated area. Your vehicle will need to be turned on, with the engine running between 25 to 35 minutes. Make sure that your vehicle is not in Accessory mode.
Plug the USB drive in to your vehicle’s USB port. The system should start the download process within a few seconds…
With the MyFord Touch system, now let your vehicle run and the entire download process takes about 25 minutes. While the process is going on, remove the SYNC system from your phone or device. You will have to pair it again after the installation.
SYNC displays “Installing Application” during the process. Do not remove your USB drive or turn off your vehicle while this update is in progress. Shortly after installation has begun, SYNC says “Installation Complete.” Ignore this message. It refers to a specific phase of the installation, not the overall update process. While the update is loading, SYNC will not recognize your mobile phone or media device.You will notice the software upgrade goes through at least five “sessions” of installing software and then “rebooting.” Be patient. Let the system run through the process and, as stated, in about 25 to 30 minutes will bring up the screen pictured above and once you push OK the process will end.
Once you have installed the SYNC software updates, you’ll need to pair your phone again. To complete the process, take the USB drive to your computer to report the successful installation (at the support.ford.com website).
You will notice that the MyFord Touch system seems more intuitive after the update. You will see a reference page appear after you push the Voice button that will assist in using the Voice commands.

Best of all, you could be listening to the Radio, using the Climate control or the Destination features and you can simply say “Call (contact name) and the Sync system knows you want to make a call without having to first say “Phone.” However, you will have to refer first to the mode if you want to go from Audio to Climate, for example.
