tornado51 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Hi all, I see there is a 2.8Gb firmware update sitting in the Ford Sync site - anyone tried updating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiek Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I done the update yesterday. All went smoothly and quickest update yet. Uploaded the XML file and showed within minutes that my system was up to date. Update site seems to be all sorted now. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb65 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Looks like an update to APPS, GRACENOTE and VOICE files. Not installed yet, but on a memory stick and ready to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quofan Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Did mine yesterday. Took about 10 minutes! All worked smoothly although can't see any differences from before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge of Reason Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 If it’s firmware, you are unlikely to notice anything. Maybe a few bugs removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just says software update which could, of course, also remove a few bugs. Saying that, I've never noticed any bugs in the system anyway.

DAVEWILL5 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 i downloaded the software Copied the zip file to a 32Gb USB stick Plugged into the USB socket in the car (without anything else plugged in), the car dash recognised the name of the USB stick, but nothing else happened I have done maps updates before, so know the procedures to follow, but this time nothing!!

eddiek Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Remember to unzip the files before putting or copying them to stick. Check files on stick. Make sure you have autoinstal file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVEWILL5 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Just done another "copy" to the stick after unzipping, and this time when i plugged it into the car it said Software Update straight away, and completed in less than 10 mins A'int got a clue what i've got for my money, but hey ho the software is up to date!

I suspect it's the usual minor bug fixes (mostly connectivity of newer devices). Hopefully it fixes the bluetooth dropouts I always get on my Samsung G7 Edge ... fingers crossed!
