Auto update pop-up

[Tseg]

A few weeks ago I started to get multiple pop ups every time I start the car... auto update, wi-fi, etc... I’ve tried many things, including reinstalling Sync 3 from a usb, but no success. Factory reset did not fix the problem either. Suggestions? Annoying as all get out.

Been seeing it for about 6 weeks. I called Ford Performance.

Thanks, but turning off auto updates did not fix the problem. I contacted a dealership early on and they were the ones to advise clicking factory reset, but that also did not fix the problem.

Lovely. I hadn't tried it yet, but it's discouraging that FP is giving out incorrect information.

It’s SYNC, for crying out loud! Never worked in the past, does not work now. Personally, im
also getting the message to connect to wifi. I do not use anything but the radio. Never connected phone via bluetooth. Not interested, but agree repeated reminder message is annoying.

Do you have V3.3, Build 19052? I had 3.3 build 18201 and would get that "Network Connection Needed" pop up everytime I started the car. I went to the Ford owner website and it said there was an update available, though I haven't been able to upgrade it via WiFi. I downloaded it on to a newly formatted (exFAT) USB drive and followed the instructions on the website. No more popup.

You might try turning auto updates back on power cycling the car a few time and turning auto updates back off. I would keep trying this and see if you can get it to work.

Alternatively if that doesn’t work try doing a reset. Positive disconnected to negative on battery. Try updates on then updates off.

And yes I am one of that turn if off and on kinda guys.

Still going nuts... system automatically turns on wi-fi pop-up even though I repeatedly turn it off. I stuck in my USB to reinstall the system (again) and it cycled on and off 10-15 times while I was driving around until the whole stereo finally turned off and there was nothing I could do to turn it back on while driving. I thought this was progress. I then came to a stop, turned off my car for 5 minutes, turned it back on and was once again hit with a battery of wi-fi and auto-update pop-ups. Tomorrow I may have to try the unhook the battery trick. This is so super annoying.

At worst, you may try taking it to a dealer and seeing if they can update it while you wait. Can't see what year your car is on the phone but it shouldn't be a problem for one of them to download this quickly. You may have other problems causing this in which they'll be fully aware once they try it. I had to try it 3 times as I kept getting an error code. Turns out my USB drive wasn't formatted to exFAT. All went well once I reformatted it. I haven't seen any update messages since.
