How long does it generally take for the update to show on the website? My Sync site still shows 3.7. Also, does the siri command work with Android for Google now? I doubt it but I was just wondering.

The update was apparently posted sometime yesterday. I was able to download and install it this evening.

I don't know what all it fixes, and unfortunately, I am flying out at 6:30 in the morning and won't have a chance to drive it until next Saturday. :-(

I am hoping like hell that it improves the noise cancellation on the outbound side. My bluetooth is basically unusable at freeway speeds because the noise cancellation cuts out everything. If I leave myself a voicemail at 65mph, all I hear is either a roar from the road noise, or my voice cutting in & out.

My wife's '12 Focus had the same problem until a sync update about a year ago, and now it's awesome - so I can hope!

Better than no update, but it would be nice if they could bring Apple Car Play and Android Auto to both MFT and Sync 3.

I've downloaded; hoping to run update tomorrow.

Just finished update; took awhile but all seems good. Just know everything goes back to factory settings and you'll lose any customized settings, including wallpaper. I didn't save my wallpaper and had to recreate.

Ran mine tonight.

Siri works, UI seems a tad snappier and my new iPhone 6S connects faster.

Now CarPlay please...

Soooo glad this came out. While a CarPlay update would be great I'm not holding my breath. However, considering you can basically ask Siri to do anything now it makes the lack of CarPlay support not that big of a deal. This drastically improved voice recognition in the car which up until now was very annoying to use. With Siri you can easily ask for directions, play a song, and listen to a text. I have longed for this feature for years and can't believe that people who have the capability in their car don't use it. Voice recognition in the car is incredibly useful. Outside the car it seems somewhat dumb. Inside the car? Gamechanger IMO

Are we ever going to get similar capability with Android phones as iPhones currently have with SYNC3?

It pisses me off that I can't control music when connected via USB through my phone, as opposed to the screen (can't scroll to various parts of a track via a slider).

For those that have installed the update - how long did it actually take to update the system once you put the USB drive in? And can you go for a drive or do you have to just sit there and let the car idle?

About 20 minutes. You can drive while it is going.
