jeebowhite Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Did it do a download in the background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I just accessed it, it took a couple of seconds, then my antivirus popped up asking "did I really want to go there?" then after I told it yes, it took a few seconds and then redirected... as per the small blurb below...

NEWERAFOCUS Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Thanks for links/downloads but the update fails after about a min I read somewhere I need to delete certain files is this true??? I do appreciate your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Not heard of a need to delete old files I thought it did that itself, I downloaded the file from online without issue, so have you tried another browser?

NEWERAFOCUS Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 yep tried differant browser/computer still getting " update failed try again " message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 When you say the update fails do you mean the download from the website or the update in your car? Here is the update in my dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/qgho881gwgf69h0/ford_audio_update.zip Extract the contents of that zip to the root of a USB stick and then follow the rest of the update options. The most recent update is from Nov 2012. I tried to update mine and thought it was failing, however it turned out I already had the latest update installed and the message advising this only flashed up for a second then disappeared, took 3 tries before I actually saw it Sent from my Zetec S using the FOC for Android app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWERAFOCUS Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Sorry I was being a bit vague it's failing in the car Tried it with the files from your dropbox too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Are you sure i t isn't just what happened with me and that the firmware is already up to date? Sent from my Zetec S using the FOC for Android app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWERAFOCUS Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 It could be to be honest I don't know, but i'm not seeing any message prior to the update fail message and I can't hear or control the music on my phone (neither USB or bluetooth), the phone does connect to the car via bluetooth for the phone calling functions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
