Updating Over Wi-Fi - Ford SYNC 3 Supplement Manual

To install the update in your vehicle,
remove anything that is plugged in the
USB ports on the media hub and plug in
the USB drive containing the update.
When the USB drive is plugged in, the
installation should begin immediately. After
a successful installation, the update is
available the next time the vehicle is
started.
When the installation is complete, take the
USB drive back to the computer to report
the update. Log into your owner account
and return to the SYNC software update
page and confirm that you have installed
the update. Insert the USB drive used for
the update into your computer and choose
to report your update. The website
updates your records to reflect your
current software version.

updates periodically. If a new version is
available, it downloads at that time.
Software downloads can take place for up
to 30 minutes after you have switched
your vehicle off. The updates do not
interrupt the normal use of your SYNC 3

for any reason, the download continues
