It’s not as easy as just running the tool and updating to 3.2. You need to update the calibration and several other steps. I bricked an APIM this week trying to get it to work, so be warned if you aren’t confident you can revive a dead APIM should something go wrong...
Some people in the German Mustang6 forum have done the update and no calibration was necessary.
Thanks. FWIW fine print says we'll still be at least 1.5 years PLUS how ever behind Here was 1.5 years ago.
It's $0 to download for MY18 and later it seems. I had heard it was either MY18 or purchases made in 2018 and later. Thus far data points to 18MY and later.
Somebody important must've gotten lost.
They still might. Can't see paying $100+ to still be over 18 months out of date. I get free Here map updates on my phone quite often. I get Here can't sell my comings and going in the car like in my phone so it won't be free. Sounds like maybe Ford is paying Here for the 2018+.
That just means that a version of Sync for you is not available for your car... 2.3 should be able to get to 3.0 though for a 17
Thanks for the advice. I tried the idea, was able to download, but was for NAV systems. I have a non-Nav setup, and other non-Navs also did not return a v3.0 for download. I'm guessing its only out for Sync v3 w/Nav. I'll also assume I should not install the update w/NAV on a non-Nav setup.
Use the VIN of a car without NAV. It might be easier to find one at Cars.com or similar than salvage yards. I'm 99.9999% sure it doesn't hurt anything to add that VIN to your Ford Owner account long enough to download an update. You can remove it right after. I've had cars I've sold on my owners account for long after I sold them, If you think about it, that can't prevent new owners from adding them to their account. Ford can't block new owners OR demand proof of title before adding a vehicle. Hell, none of my vehicles are even titled in my name but a living trust.
