Sync 3 map update
- Thread starter Adder1221
- Start date
So I had this issue on my Fusion with Sync update. The trick is how you put the files on the drive.
So make sure you go into Safari settings and uncheck the option to automatically open verified/safe file when downloaded.
Once downloaded drop the zipped file onto the drive. THEN unzip it while its on the drive. The trick is that the drive has to be big enough to support twice the file size since you're unzipping and essentially duplicating the file. From there you can follow the instructions, move the folders around, etc.
Took two times to successfully update the maps, but no issues updating the SYNC (make sure you update SYNC first). Good luck peeps!

Not sure if this helps but i have my settings set for automatic updates, but it has never actually automatically updated. I have to go to search for updates. It finds them and the download begins. I downloaded the sync 3 update and it went pretty quick over WI-FI, after the sync was down loaded, everything looked normal ant the screen flashed to a message that it was downloading "letter salad" which gave me no idea what it was downloading. Figured either it was the map update or Russian hacking. Decided to plug in the battery tender and let it take its course. Took almost an hour, if your in the garage remember to turn off the head lights. Fun fact after almost three years of ownership, when plugged into the charger, engine not running, the informant screen does not cycle off. Anyway once the download was complete it announced I had updated the map and was good to go. However I can't get over the feeling there is a red dot on a map in Moscow that pinpoints my location.
Same with mine, I ended up opening a case over chat, after doing everything they said and it still not being able to update the map, because my VIN wouldn't update in the database they ended up sending me a USB with the update on it, that was the only way I could do it. I'm convinced all 22's are not in their database.

Thanks for that. Just got off the phone with Ford….old school
. Told me they have been getting tons of calls on the map update for MY22. She confirmed everything else was up to date and tried to force an update over WiFi and no go. Escalated to second tier. Should get a call within a few days to send me a usb. We will see if that happens.
