Guess what? So, I thought, why not help my fellow sufferers solve all the Ford Sync update problems I faced. However, there are a few issues you might face every once in a while. Once it starts, wait for the files to install completely. The installation will take about 30 minutes. Let the system reboot, which may take several minutes.
Remove the drive from the USB port and turn off the vehicle entirely for at least 5 minutes. This problem usually occurs after a major Android update. And if the hardware is not the problem, try turning off your phone then turning it back on after seconds.
It is a common problem for Sync 3 users. To resolve this, try giving your Ford Sync a reboot if it gets frozen or the navigation is displaying incorrectly. Keep pressing the two buttons until the Ford logo comes on the screen. To solve this problem, turn off your phone, remove the battery if possible, then turn it back on.
Make sure your phone connects to the Sync automatically. The Wi-Fi update using a home network will be the trickiest because Wi-Fi signals degrade over long distances and depending upon your router, antenna and location of your garage and type of Wi-Fi, you may experience long download times. Before starting the update, you can connect your phone to Wi-Fi or notebook computer to Wi-Fi and see if you have a signal in your garage.
We have found in the past, that opening the garage doors may help getting a signal. If your Wi-Fi router is a house or apartment, opening the windows and putting the router near the open window will also make it the signal flow easier.
Trees or larg objects can block a home Wi-Fi signal. Ford reports that it is first software update via Wi-Fi and a automated alternative to existing upgrade methods. In fact the USB methods takes at least 20 minutes for the car to reboot. If an update is available, the system automatically downloads the update in the background over a period of time without any customer interaction. And SYNC 3 is designed to perform the update as long as Wi-Fi is connected prior to the vehicle turning off, therefore there is no need to keep the vehicle running for the update to take place.
Follow instructions on how to download the files and transfer them to your USB drive. Start car the engine must be running during the update. Turn on audio system with low audio. Step 2 — Get the update. The software download process requires your browser to have Java installed and enabled. You may also receive a security warning. Be patient..
And, using other programs during the download will slow down the process. Step 3 — Take the USB drive with the software updates to your vehicle. Turn on your vehicle, and then turn on the radio. Make sure your car is in a well-ventilated area. Your vehicle will need to be turned on, with the engine running between 25 to 35 minutes. Make sure that your vehicle is not in Accessory mode. The system should start the download process within a few seconds….
