Cloth Tabs Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Download the latest Sync & Map updates from https://www.ford.co.uk/owner/resources-and-support/sync-bluetooth/update#/ I have a Macbook Pro laptop and tried to download the latest maps (version F8) for my Fiesta Titanium 2018 using Apple's Sierra browser. Please Beware that although Sierra is an excellent browser I don't think it is suitable for this download !! Sierra started to downloaded a file named Map_25013789187_Update.zip.download and on completion named it Map_25013789187_Update.zip which was 25.08 GB in size. It then automatically started to decompress this zip file and generated a folder called Map+25013789187_Update which contained :- SyncMyRide\HB5T-14G386-TJB.tar.gz 25KB SyncMyRide\JR3T-14G421-BD.tar.gz 16.35GB SyncMyRide\JR3T-14G424-BD.tar.gz 2KB DONTINDX.MSA Zero bytes which is not what I was expecting according to Ford's USB Update Instructions for Sync 3 Map Data -- Note:- No top level folder called SyncMyRide , only 3 tar.gz files (there should be 6 ) and no auto install.lst file. So i switched to using a Firefox browser and downloaded the maps again. This time the downloaded file was called Map_25013789187_Update.zip and 25.02 GB in size. I then used iZip to read this file and view the archive which showed all of the files and folder expected, which I then dragged into my flash drive memory stick (Sandisk 64GB) See Screenshots below. Pleased to say that I have now successfully updated my maps. So the moral of this tale :- Beware of the Sierra browser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjwhite Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 HI Sierra is generally automatically set to auto unzip files. Under preferences / general untick 'open safe' files and all will be well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas Ford say my I don’t need an update when I put in my vin (it’s a 2017 car) so it looks like I’m stuck on F7 🙄. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are quite right, I should have written Safari Browser instead of Sierra Browser. Sorry about that, another senior moment ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
