New Sync update avail

[Solidred]

Owner.ford had an avail update, I’m now on 19025...didn’t really notice much of a change, maybe a little more snappy. I have a 17’

I’m going to have to look us up, don’t they usually tell you what the updates will do for you?

I looked it up, all I can tell is that it looks like they added Alexa

What version does it say in your settings screen?

The Ford.owner website is one of the worst I've ever seen for navigating or even signing on. Too frustrating!

Doesn’t it update over the air?

I agree that website needs a lot of work...it was frustrating having to reload the page a bunch. WiFi updates usually come but take awhile...this 19025 update seems to just fix a couple bugs, nothing too much to add, Alexa was on the last update. System seems to respond faster

Does one have to take your Raptor to a ford dealership in order to update software or can it be done over home WiFi?

To my knowledge Sync 3 will pull updates over WiFi, when your truck is able to connect to a network. Not sure yet but I think downloaded apps for Sync are required to update via your connected phone. At least that’s what the system told me. How does CarPlay and Android auto update? Not sure yet. I was told by the salesman updates for the vehicle computer modules itself won’t update over air. But I’m not sure he really knew. I read Ford should be able to do this, but dealerships feel it won’t bring customers in for service then. Hey let’s get current here. Let technology help people and save time. Real hardware based service is one thing, but let the software fly over air.

Sync 3 updates either over WiFi or you can download the update on a thumb drive and upload it manually. Android Auto and car play are based off your phone, it essentially just mirrors the apps. Ecu/ecm refreshes and upgrades are updated at the dealership. Hope this helps.
