soprano54 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Just updated my Focus from build no 21020 to 21194, only a 2. something MB update, so didn’t take long. Once finished l plugged in my USB to my PC to get a log file and according to Ford l’m now up to date, l must admit l was expecting a map update!🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark-UK Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I'm sure is been asked and answered before but: If I do a full format and install via Cyanlabs , will I at a later date just be able to update via the ford website in the normal way or I'm a committed to using Cyanlabs forever.

Didn't have any problems (other than what everyone has with the Ford site). Seems as far as I can tell to make no difference to the Ford site if you have previously used Cyanlabs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.S Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Anyone managed to get this 2.6GB update OTA ? Also with OTA downloads do I have to get a log file? Like with USB method? I forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevG Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Done the Sync 3.0 update to 3.0.20204 and then the F10 map update, no issues via USB stick, although you need a least 32GB USB stick for the map update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.S Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Something came up and I’ve had to take the usb stick out early on this recent 2.6gb update. When I plug it back in will it pick up where it left off ? Or is it back to the start? How long is the update thru usb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Just done the update on mine yesterday. It took 24 minutes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneezy24 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I thought I did the F10 maps a few weeks ago by OTA (had problems doing it with USB stick). Software versions reports 3.4 Build 21020. Maps are F10 Just been offered the 2.6G Sync updates, while I was checking the current levels, noticed the car is OTA-ing 5U5T-14G392....tar.gz this is part of the 2.6G download. It also says there are map updates after I have done the Sync update. The 5U5T file above seems to be the biggest file (1.7G-ish). If I now plug in the USB stick with all the files I assume it will use what it has done for itself so far? Any ideas what the map update will be? F11????? Also, is there any way I can keep the ignition alive so I can get OTA quicker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex.S Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I too got the sync 2.6gb update, no map update. Was going to get the sync update OTA but was taking forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark-UK Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 It wouldn't be as bad if their update system worked 100%, after months of case not being sorted, I'm still getting emails twice a week asking have I sorted it or taken it to a dealer yet for the map update. Told them twice that I'm going the Cyanlab route at the next update. The truth is I'll probably not bother at all with any more updates, I bet there's thousands of owners that have never had a single update since they bought the car. I get the feeling they want me to sort the Error Mem01 out and then tell them how I did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eacott Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 SYNC 3 Updates When an update is applied automatically via wi-fi do Fords automatically know it has been successful or do you have to inform them? My system is showing 3.4 Build 21020_Product Maps F10, when I check for updates via the sync system it states I am up to date. A check on the Ford Sync web site shows I have a sync update 2.6Gb (SYNC3_2599117516_Update) pending and then a map update to follow. I am a little confused.

When your car gets updated via WiFi the Ford site will have been automatically updated. It's quite normal for extra updates to be on the site that the car hasn't checked for. The whole process is very hit and miss, or in most cases 'miss' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could leave the engine running and lock the car. Not sure how long it’d run for. I get a ‘fair’ wifi signal on my drive, as you’ll know it continues downloading after turning it off but I think just for a few minutes. Biggest OTA download I’ve done was 20gb , took a week.

Well you would need to keep the engine running or the battery will be flat in less than an hour. You can alter the auto engine stop time but again it will still turn off after 20 minutes (or about that sort of time). OTA updates are only any good for small files. An update like the F10 maps can be 28Gb and take about 6 hours to download direct to a computer with a hardwire connection. I would hate to think how long it would take the car to do an OTA update of that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
