If you haven't been offered F8 via Ford website (although if your vehicle is MY17/18 I would have thought you would) you will probably have to wait until 2020 for the F9 maps like loads of us who bought new vehicles recently and are stuck with F7 now almost 3 years old.

simonb65 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 There are a few F8 update discussions on the Kuga Owners Club forum ... https://www.kugaownersclub.co.uk/forum/30-mk2-general-discussion/14279-sync-3-latest-map-update-41.html Maybe an active F8 download link on there! I've not checked. You can also see the utter common frustration with Sync3 and Map updates! The original F8 update download I used at ... http://ivsu.eubinaries.ford.com/owner-package/10200162383365587409/Map_25017363174_Update.zip ... is no longer available (and that was direct from the Ford update server).

If they say EU 4 14 is the latest, they are either lying, can't be bothered or are just not interested in the product or customers they deal with. Take your custom to another Ford dealer!

Westville Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 ver 4 14 is definitely not the latest - I am waiting to try uploading the software I downloaded from Ford the other day which should be the latest version (I hope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the zip file for mine - if you send me your email address I'll try attaching it (nearly 3GB so may be too big to e-mail) OR send me an empty formatted exFAT USB stick and I'll load it up for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zip for the map on its own (without the voice, gracenote, etc) is 16GB ... Not sure what your looking at that's only 3GB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at one of my earlier posts where I describe the file part numbers and what they do.The first part is the system (i.e. JR3T), the middle part is the application (i.e. 14G381) and the last part (i.e. AR) is the revision level. These are: GB5T-14G386-AB ... creates the xml log file for uploading back tot he update website HB5T-14G386-THJ ... NOT SURE, I've never had this one yet! HB5T-14G386-TCB .. checks to see if the nav option is fitted HB5T-14G386-THA ... checks the model of the car for hardware compatibility HB5T-14G387-AAB .. uninstalls update overlays (popup screens, etc) JR3T-14G381 ... apps JR3T-14G391 .... general Sync voice files JR3T-14G423 ... gracenote So, these are all prerequisites or general updates, but alas no maps for you in this one! FYI ... F7 maps are JR3T-14G421-BC F8 maps are JR3T-14G421-BD and JR3T-14G422-BD (-BD is my latest) is the voice files specifically for navigation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonb65 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Its on the bottom of the download page, took me a while to find it as it doesn't really stand out and its collapsed by default, so just click the down arrow on the far right of Troubleshooting ...
