I downloaded an update for my SYNC but I'm a little leery about flashing the chips in any devices with new software. Has anyone done an update on their SYNC and had it "brick"/die in the process?

I updated mine a few weeks ago and it's been working great. Seems to have fixed one of the issues I've been having with bluetooth disconnecting.

Mine has been the opposite. I believe the problem to be more the Iphone Update I did about the same time frame.

How do you know if an update is available? Does it notify you on the screen? Does ford send a disc? Mine hasn't updated that I know of. (sync2).
On my 13 explorer, Ford sent me a disc that I had to install onto a thumbdrive, then plug into the car's USB.

I just went to the "Myfordowner" website and checked. It told me there was one, so I followed the process fr the update.

Make an account and log onto My Ford Sync. It will tell you in the MySync section.

I downloaded the update unzipped it to a thumbdrive and plugged it in to the dash USB port on my 2015. Worked fine. Don't be tempted to pull it out if it seems like it hangs up. Just go for a drive and it will come back somwhere in the 15 to 25 minute range. Quick and easy. Pull over if it asks you to do something at the end. -Alex
