Look on you SYNC info screen. You are looking for SYNC serial number. This is not to be confused with your Onboard Modem serial #.I know my VIN what the heck is ESN??
Yep, go to general settings, scroll down all the way, then click on 'about sync'. Then scroll down all the way again, and at the end you'll see the serial number. It should be 2 letters, 4 numbers, and 2 more letters. Hope this helps.I know my VIN what the heck is ESN??

After an hour, it's finally done. I went out at 44 minutes, and my car was almost finishing the countdown to shut off the ignition, so caught it barely on time. Then it took an additional 15 minutes. I thought it started again from scratch, but it finally showed the finished screen, asking to remove the USB. After letting the car sit for about half an hour (while I had dinner), went out to check the version, and lo and behold, the stupid thing is still showing 1.18. WTF? I guess it's never going to change then, right? That's really weird. But since I'm not the only one, I'm not concerned. Just hope it downloaded correctly, and that it actually improved something. Haven't used nav at all, other than just setting my home address, so won't be able to tell what improved, if anything.
As a final comment, with the F-150, I was asked to send back to Ford a confirmation number spit by the update, but I think that was for the Sync update, not the map one. If one of you get an answer from Ford why Sync didn't update to 1.19 under settings, let us know. Maybe we missed a step or something, no? Thank you all for all the help and guidance. It was fun to do it as a group .
Probably the same issue Sync3.3 has displaying ver1.17 when 1.18 is loaded. you can verify the flies loaded by looking at the IVSU under diagnostic menu.......went out to check the version, and lo and behold, the stupid thing is still showing 1.18.

The people who do use them.Who cares. I haven’t used fords maps once. I’ve used CarPlay and google every day for 2 years.

Same with me, frustrating that the contractor for providing Ford map updates is incompetent.Man that sucks. Give them a call. Many other have had this exact same issue. By the way I'm still being told I already have 1.19. Maybe later.
