New Ford Focus - Sync 3 update question

Hello

I've recently purchased a new Ford Focus and checked for updates on the Ford dashboard (website), it says the maps are up to date, but that there is a new Sync 3 update

available. It give no details of what the update includes and the process some seem very long winded (35 minutes).

Can anyone who has the latest update (from October) advise me what the main changes are and if it's worth doing the update?

Many thanks & Seasons Greetings.

Steven, Essex

    Build 19052 is the latest software. You probably won't notice much difference. As far as I recall it was just some stability issues that were resolved. Just follow website instructions its straightforward.

    Okay thanks very much, it's a shame there are no release notes. I have downloaded the new version, but as the car is so new, I'll hold off on the update for now.
