Don't like iPhones but installed the CarPlay compatible USB hub in case I ever did and upgraded Sync3.
Downloaded from the Ford Owners site and unzipped into the root of a USB drive I had laying around. The drive had about 30GB of stuff on it but over 32GB available and had been formatted exFat.
Didn't want to be bored waiting for it to update so left the car running and checked back every 10 minutes. At the 30 minute mark, I found the car had turned itself off. I removed the USB drive, waited 5 more minutes and restarted the car. Sync status showed the update had been done. As normal, there were no maps until the next time I restarted the car.
When I did the step at the owner site to confirm the update by uploading an XML file from the USB drive, it kept failing with no explanation except try again. But when I looked at my Sync history at the owner site it shows the update was completed today.
The documentation was wrong about having to re-pair phones.

anyone else get this bug? with Android Auto, when I get a text, the volume matches the audio volume rather than the voice volume, then when you reply, the music volume now matches the voice volume, when you turn the music up and down it displays voice volume, until you either pause the music or change tracks, this is super annoying! its designed to be so the notification volume is separate from the audio volume, buts its not working that way

I have experienced the same problem. I have already gotten used to just adjusting the volume as needed. Really annoying though.

I have tried downloading the update to my 32gb flash drive and the car will never finish updating. It just its there for over 1.5 hours saying updating... I tried different USB formats, different flash drives, still no luck. And the wifi update has not been released to me. Looks like im stuck:( I have Nav idk how much that makes a difference.

if it's not too much trouble for you, you can always do a master reset prior to upgrading sync. This does the trick in almost all cases.

you can find a VIN for a '16 with Sync 3 on cars.com or autotrader that hasn't received the update yet then add it to your owner.ford.com account to download the update.
Even better would be a VIN that has been totaled (the update will never be confirmed for that VIN so it should always be available).
This will only be necessary until v2.2 is no longer the most recent version.

Hello guys,
Is the official ford release any different from the leaked release that many of us have installed?
If so, would it be worth it to upgrade to the latest one?
Thank you,

For those of you that have done this, is it a requirement that the engine be running or can the battery be on a charger? I'm presuming the requirement of the engine running is so that the battery doesn't run low and brick the unit, but I could be wrong.
Thanks.
Thanks.

You are absolutely right. Turning on the engine would avoid this type of issue.

Thanks for the confirmation.
Anybody done this upgrade on a float charger with the engine off?
