Chrome or Firefox are usually best.

I was using IE 11 I think.
Just tried from the link on the first page of the thread and downloaded pack5 as suggested.
Could you tell me if this is the latest version?
I'm mainly after the Siri app.  There's nothing worse than having to pull over to reply to a text message.

I know this is another topic but does anyone know if you can change the stupid compass on the home screen for the speed limit that is shown on the nav screen.
I don't really care if I'm going north I would rather know what the speed limit is for the road I'm on.

many thanks
Alan

I binned IE years ago as it's problematic.
Can't comment on siri as I have Android phones.
The compass logo is not swappable for speed notifications, that only shows up on a nav screen.
Do you have navigation on your system?
If not then Bannko is the guru when it comes to activating this for minimal cost.

I have the nav system activated but the map version is at F2.
I have no idea what the latest version is or where to get it.
Do you know and also what the cost is?
It looks like Ford dropped the ball with the compass thing.
As the screen updates to show the road your on you would think that showing the speed limit for that road would be a much more useful feature than a compass.
I'm going to try the software update this week.
Thanks for the help

There is an f6 out now. I got an f5 off e bay last year for just over £20, prior to updating as my car had an f2 when I got it.

I managed to download the upgrade from the first page of this thread.
Do you know if it's the latest version or is a newer one available ?

@Lowbands well if the download link was directly to the Fdrds site, then the update is 3,08 and it is the previous one. Current one is 3,10 and there we have only links to MEGA site.

Hi there,

I've recently been having some annoying problems with my SYNC 2 unit, bluetooth disconnects, USB drive anomalies etc... I was wondering if this update might go some way to fixing these niggles? F5 maps and running 3.08.xxxx currently. Any chance that you could send me the link please Bannko? :smile:

I'm assuming that Language Pack 5 is the one to use for the UK, as described in the 3.08 update post?

Hello Ford drivers :).

I read almost every page of this topic, but I didn't notice if anybody try to update SYNC II with navigation card F2? But based on all installation instructions, it seems that this is impossible and not worth to try :)...

So I decide to buy a newer SD card on eBay, version F4 to F6, but how can I be sure that it will work on my SYNC II system. Under eBay description it is somewhere said, that card will work only with sony system and that it is compatible with US. But don't have sony entertainment system and I have EU car. How can I be sure, that SD will work like plug and play in my car? I read somewhere, out of this forum, that this type of navigation SD card need to be configured with a car serial number and eBay cards are crap? Is that true or not? What should I be careful when I'm buying this SD cards?

For example I'm looking to buy something like this:

For information: I'm owning a Ford Focus model year 2015 (December of 2014). It was sold in France and after two years I bought it used with F2 navigation card equipped.

@stockl If the card is F version that it will always work for the EU countries sony/non sony SYNC 2 units. The US cards are marked with A versions. :)

Hey Guys. Really dumb question time...

Is this update for the actual maps or just the Sync software? I found the thread after my local Ford dealer quoted me £232 to update the map (yes £232!). After I stopped laughing, I declined the upgrade and began googling.

Secondly, I have noted the "install at your own risk" statements and wondered if there is any 'backup' option in case something goes belly-up?

This is for the Sync software not the maps.

You can usually get the SD card maps for between £50 and £100 on eBay.
