I have sync 3 in my car. Curious how map updates work? I know older navigation systems had CDs or USB sticks. Do new map updates come over the air from Sirius? I'm not talking traffic but the actual streets.

If I am not mistaken, it is still done the same way via sd card.

There is no SD card slot in the 2016 MY w/Sync 3. I assume it is wifi or download to USB.

Yes.. USB no more Sd card.. The navigation is faster now also because they use the same type memory a cell phone uses.. So when a map update come out we just load a USB and when it is done pull it out..

Hey everyone!

The map updates for SYNC 3 will come from our provider HERE via USB. Hope that helps! :)

Now that BMW/Benz/Audi have jointly purchased HERE from Nokia, is it true we will have to use German accents with the voice NAV after the next update?

Hi HoosierDaddy,

That should not affect our normal SYNC voice. HERE only provides the actual map data for our systems.

How do map updates work for the Sync 2 on the 2015s? Are map updates free for a period of time as part of the vehicle purchase, or something we have to pay for?

They have to be purchased and they come on an SD card that has to reside in the SD card slot for nav to work.
