Nathan Buffery Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Does anyone know how I can get the latest update file for sync 2. I've retrofitted a sync 2 into my 2013 Focus, so if I put my vin into the ford website, it says "your vehicle is not fitted with Sync 2". If I put the vin of a facelift car say on eBay for instance, it says "you are up to date". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Does the system information page on the sync screen show the current vin or the donor car's vin?Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Buffery Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hi Clive, it shows my Vin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Pity.I think it may be a bit of trial & error on cribbed vins now.Shame you didn't have the donor vin.Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where the sync unit picked up my vin anyway. I could ask the eBay seller that sold me the sync unit for the reg of the vehicle it came from.

Stoney871 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 The vin would come from other original modules on the car.Asking for the reg if they know it would be a good first port of call.Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Buffery Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 So I downloaded and installed the update from the forum and it seems to have gone onto my sync unit ok. I was hoping it would fix my microphone issue (mic not working) but it has not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I liked the sync 2 from 1. So if you can get 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm waiting for the sync button for the steering wheel to arrive and I'm hoping it's linked. I can then test the voice commands. I need to get the F8 nav card as well as I'm on F4 at the mo and it's not great. Sync 3 hey? I'll have to save my pennys for that upgrade!!
