Sync update nag every time! How do I stop this?

[withanx]

Every time I start my car, a message pops up that says "sync can automatically update by connecting to local wifi networks" or something like that. I have wifi and automatic updates disabled. How can I stop these nagging messages?

I had this same problem. You just need to connect to a wifi one time and do the "check for update." I did this real quick on my way home on a wifi hotspot I made from my cell phone. It didn't even have to finish the search, you just have to start it.

If your phone is capable being a hotspot for WiFi

1. Turn on your WiFi hotspot
2. Go to the WiFi menu in Sync 3
3. Connect your Sync 3 to your WiFi hotspot
4. Go to the software version in Sync 3 and hit check for updates (this may hang but don't worry about it)
5. When you turn on your car again with the WiFi still connected to your phone, you should no longer get that popup
6. You can disconnect your WiFi hotspot and the popup should be gone everytime you turn on your car

Does the 2015 EB have Sync 3? I just picked up the car and am not sure what version it has.

The 2015 models have MyFordTouch. You can swap it out to get Sync 3. You will find a thread on how to do it on the cheap or you can go to 4dtech.com (like I did) to purchase new parts with it all ready for installation. It costs more but it easy as it took about an hour to do using their video showing how to do it.

Do you remember what parts you bought? I see a rear camera programmer. Is that what I would need?

I bought the 2015 Ford Mustang Sync 3 Upgrade for MyFordTouch along with the tools to help pull the trim pieces off without breaking them. I already had the rear camera, so no need for the rear camera programmer.
