Just adding on to my previous post, I've found that some folks have wanted the install instructions . I went looking for a link to them on Ford's update site but couldn't seem to find it again. However, I did save a copy in pdf format, so here are the install instructions for those that want/need it. It's for the Windows version (sorry MAC users). Cheers!

Thanks!! Those instructions do seem hard to locate - I also saved them but is hit or miss if I can find Fords instructions online. Previously I recall the instructions were always easily findable.

Do you have the google maps update as well? I downloaded it but now I can't find it and it won't let me download it again.

I think you mean Ford’s Navigation update? If so that is VIN specific and cannot be downloaded into another vehicle.

Ya, that's what I meant. Thanks.

What Dude said. I also don't have Nav on my BS, so no need for me to have it. Cheers!

I use Android Auto anyway so the map update for the Ford Nav is not that important.

If one only needs the map update, Syn3 updater can update the maps without firmware (or $$$ spent to buy a map update).

For various reasons, I'd recommend using the Ford updater for your vehicle on the car first, and then use Syn3 updater separately for the maps on a second go.

I have it, but without the license that downloads with the file it won't work for you. Email sync naviagtion support and they will get you the license and download again.

OK Team, So what have I done wrong?
1. ReFormatted my 32GB USB drive to exFAT. (Properties says it is exFAT now, but it wasn’t originally)
2. I unzipped the download file.(did not do the windows thing described in the instructions? Would that matter?)
3. Dragged the 3 downloaded files to my USB. (Checked twice, they are there on the USB)
4. Went to my car, started it, plugged in the USB. USB blinks a few times, nothing happens on the screen. Everything looks like a normal day on the screen.
5. After waiting and hoping for 10 minutes I go to settings, look at Auto Udates, still Build 22251.
6. Do the system reset thing, everything still the same.

What am I missing? Do I need to break down and do a master reset? Would that help?

Please post screen shots of both folders on the USB Device so we can see the folder names, folder contents and file sizes (in step 3 you stated “…3 downloaded files” which would not be correct)

Yes, correctly 3 “items”, 1 folder, 2 files. I will get some screenshots tonight to provide more clarity about what I did. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

If nothing is happening then the auto install program isn’t running itself. Follow the instructions for file download, extraction, and placement exactly as in the directions.

Yeah, thought I did, twice. Will erase the USB. Reformat it again and start from scratch. I’m using the download zip file shared by @cprcubed since Ford’s site is experiencing technical difficulties with the download site and it is not available there.
