Anyone else notice issue with android auto after the update? When I receive a message it no longer lets me listen to it via the touch screeen. I can listen to it via “Ok Google” voice commands so seems to be an issue with 3.0

How long did it actually take to complete the upgrade?

The website said it will take around 30 minutes with the engine running, if that's the case I don't know if I can be arsed doing it.
Yeah. Around 20 minutes. I popped the USB stick in a took the car for a drive.

Their instructions show them using the USB port inside the console. I would use that one as it is the one that connects your phone to Apple Car Play/Android Play on the Sync screen, the USB under the radio itself just charges devices so I don't think it would talk to the Sync system.
It works fine in the USB under the radio.

The one under the HU works fine for Android Auto et al.

That being said, i agree in using the one inside the console for updating as that's the one that worked for me

Had car serviced today at Ford dealer. Asked for Sync 3 to be updated.
On pick up - I was told I “had latest version.”
Think it was updated March last year.
Every other little request was attended to, but wondering if they neglected/forgot the update and fobbed me off.

Haven’t had any issues with it.

I asked for my SYNC 3 to be updated when it was in the other day to have some work done and they said that it had been. Then I checked and it had not and the service guy fessed up that there was a problem with some head units and it would have to be taken out to be updated. Not sure I want this but I am still on 2.2 and 1 15 maps.

What is the changes and benefits from 3.3 to 2.2

You can easily check if they have or not by checking the version installed in your car!

How do you do that? Does it display on screen during start up?
No it's in the settings somewhere, you'll have to drill down into the settings. I've seen it several times in the sync page.

See the pics on the previous page, posts 6 and 7.

Great.
One day after annual visit to Ford now getting a NAV NOT WORKING screen flash up.
Has worked since Ford had it. Think I’ve seen it before. Hoping it’s a one off and next time I start it’s back to normal.
Google nav is good - has normal QWERTY keyboard on screen - not the Ford alphabetic selection

You can select a QWERTY keyboard by hitting the globe in the bottom left corner when the alphabetic keyboard shows. Haven't worked out how to make QWERTy the default though.
