Sync 3 update.

I don't know if this topic was talked about but did any of you updated sync 3 to the latest version?

I have sync 3 with version 2.2 from factory and I would like to go to version 3.0. There is an update for my car because I have found it on Ford's webpage.

Is 3.0 the latest version or there is a newer one (3.2 for example)?

Will I ruin my system if anything goes wrong and can I revert to original one if the update goes south?

Is it better to do via WIFI or via USB dongle?

 

THX!!!

    3 is the latest version, just follow the nstruction on the Ford update site, you need to use a memory stick, if you have navigation this upgrade will allow you to get the latest maps version 7.

    Yes I do have navigation. Will it update the maps too or for that I have to pay Ford?

    The download it's not big (2.56GB)  or is it? 

    Hope I will not mess it up. Supose I can always revert to factory settings, hopefully.

    Thx a lot!

    I managed to do the update to v3.0 but can't seem to find an update for the satnav. I still got the original version 4. I tried on the webpage and via wifi and there are no more updates available
