Can anyone tell me what updates Ford might remotely download to my car?
I have the synch 3 set up to jump on my homes wifi.
I have noticed every time it does update my tire mobility kit needs to be reset .... anyone else notice that?
Just curious other than the possible synch updates what else might be updated or is big brother just keeping tabs on my driving style .....

On my F-150 and Mustang it's just firmware for Synch 3. Mostly to help with maps/Android Auto/Apple Car Play integration bugs.

I can relate to that. I know I'm getting a "vehicle health report" as well. I was just wondering if there might be more going on in the communications and transfer of data. Big bro is watching :inspect:

More than likely but it looks to be just mileage and oil life/fuel levels. I'm sure there's more in there we aren't aware of (reporting on PCM tune being loaded?). Could always turn off WiFi updates and just go the USB stick route.
