Anyone who has been waiting for this update can now download the files from the Ford Owners site. Enables Android Auto and Apple Car Play and updates some other things like the splash screen on some vehicles. Need a new usb Hub for Apple however to use Car Play.

Happy updating

umm it updates your Sync system to the latest version. You can have your phone display on your screen in the car and use the audio program and google maps etc instead of the Sync stuff.

OK, but I have no idea how you get it from the Ford Owners site to the car....or where you even find it on the Ford Owners site. lol

Apocalypse Pony

register your car then download the update under here SYNC® Help & Vehicle How To's | Official Ford Owner Site

Alternatively if your car is connected to your wifi account it can be updated over the air.

All that worrying for nothing....easy peasy two hour download and installed no prob, thanks Mike.

Interesting to be registered on the Ford Owners site, I pulled the complimentary oil filter wrench recall too.

No problem The download takes about 15/20 min and the install another 15/20 minutes. The site is pretty handy. I have been using it since my First Mustang.

The updated Sync software has some cool new features. The New Splash Screen on the Touch Screen is cool, now says Ford Performance at start up and shutdown.
