Can you upgrade from Sync 3 v1 to Sync 3 v2? 

If not what is the latest version for Sync 3 v1? 

 

Thanks in advance. 

Put your VIN into the Ford update website https://www.ford.co.uk/owner/resources-and-support/sync-bluetooth/update#/

and it will tell you if yours is up to date and what to do.

Actually are you sure you mean Sync3 V1

Havnt you got a Sync1 unit ?  

@theroninhunter can you explain please what do you mean by SYNC3 v1 and Sync3 v2?

Nope had Sync2 my touch upgraded to Sync 3

I have just upgraded this myself and mine came with SYNC 3 Version 2.2. If you have a SYNC 3 Version 1.0, you will need to have either the VIN of the vehicle you had it from or you choose a vehicle from the same MY as the APIM you have. Believe it or not there are a few hardware configurations for SYNC 3 and it is quite important you download the SYNC update that matches what you have (NAV Vs Non Nav and if you have a later version MY 18/19) as they will not update correctly.

For example, my SYNC 3 APIM was from MY 17. So I choose a Focus from 2017 with similar features as mine (Nav etc) and got their reg and then VIN and then onto the SYNC updates website for FORD and then download and update. The only after action you will have to do, is to amend the log after you have completed the update to the donor VIN in a word document and then upload that or you won't get the maps update afterwards.

See the post from @samevansinworthi its a hardware difference between the earlier cars with Sync 3 and the 2018/2019 cars with Sync 3 v2. they usually have the additional features like GPS tracking via the Ford app.

@theroninhunter ok now it is clear 😉

And to answer your question, yes it is possible. I am runnig myself the Sync3 APIM from MK4 Focus. 

You just have to configure the module after change in order to work correctly. 

Then you can install the updates like 3.3 or even 3.4. The only downside is that i still cannot install the latest F8 maps because they are not available on the server for these versions. 

But i do like the modern look of the 3.4 version. It still has a few minor bugs but as it is not an official release but in general it is working fine 🙂
