The likelihood is that the Ford's download has the typo's on the filenames which is partly why it doesn't work.

I can only see one slight difference in the(the one that will not work)download i got from Ford with my VIN yesterday and the one you have posted. Am i missing something blindingly obvious when comparing them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Machin Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Well I copied the files onto a newly formatted USB. Started engine and put in USB. Went to install sync and it started. Now I'm sat here after 10minutes and nothing seems to be happening. No messages apart from SYNC Set at the top of the screen. Is it done? I cant select anything like system info to see if its changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 **Ignore** Just re-read your post and see that it started installing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the engine running and the system will say when it's restarting and finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Machin Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Zico You are star. Its installed and updated to 5.11. My stereo is now correctly bluetooth connecting to my android and my music is playing once again. Thankyou very much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 The two previous times I updated Sync I did need to re-pair my phone so you may be fortunate. I'm not sure why but guess the updates may have caused me a glitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasqwatch Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 All fine thanks.Updated on the drive to work. No problems at all. Can you tell me what is dfferent in this update compared to the 5.8 version I was on? Thanks again for your help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 @Sasqwatch not entirely sure to be honest. I think it was just some bug fixes and compatibility updates. Nothing more exciting that that. There is no readme in the Ford download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil1210 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Great I have a 65 plate as well hope this works been trying to update for months I have up in the end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil1210 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Hi just wondering when it's updating can I still drive the car as I could update the system whilst driving to work as the engine needs to be on for about 30 mins or can you not use the car whilst updating. I know the stereo won't play music whilst updating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeipii Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 After updating my Sync 1 it hasnt got stuck again. Before that I had to disconnect the sync fuse because of my bluetooth got stuck/didn't work suddenly. Haven't seen any other changes related to update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system will restart sync a few times and tell you when it's done which is normally around 25 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelF Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 hey guys i also have the ford files and they dont work. Can you please re upload the correct files for me. I download this file from ford SYNC1.1_768935024_Update extract to the root of the flash, and when i click the install on sync in car, it just says no software found. I think my files also have errors in the names like you say.. If i could please get the proper files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbey Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 @Zico is there any chance you could upload the file again please? I’ve bought 2 different USBs (one 3.0 and one 2.0), unzipped using 7-zip, checked the .lst files are separated and no joy! I’ve got a 65 plate fiesta so hoping your files work! Thanks so much!

Marky146 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I did mine and it took 3 different USB sticks till I found one that worked. An old USB2.0 16gb in FAT32 was the only one. What a palaver. Anyway, I left it to it while I went for a drive and just finished my McD in the car park when it finished. Perfect timing. 5.11 sorted. Updated the Sat nav with a V11 SD card and that took nearly as long but all done and happy days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 @Marky146I also found that the car was fussy over which USB stick I used. USB 3.0 should in theory be fine but USB 2.0 worked for me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
