My '23 OBX has sync version 3.4.23188 installed. I just ordered the $40.00 map update USB for my vehicle. What is the download time to install the updated version in my OBX?

It can take upwards to 60-90 minutes, if you are not going to be driving your vehicle, make sure you turn off the Automatic Idle Shutoff feature. This will also engage again each time you do a key cycle, you will perform 1-2 key cycles for the USB Map update and will need to turn off that feature again if you are not going to be driving your vehicle. Lesson learned, I didn't realize it turned itself back on with a key cycle ...LOL. Only remove the USB when you are instructed to do so at the prompt you must respond to in order to remove it from the screen on your display

I just ordered the map update for my '23 OBX for $40.00. I thought I would check for an update for my wife's '20 Ecosport. The single USB update for the Ecosport is $109.00. Why such a difference in price?

Maybe the car comes with only a couple years of free upgrades and that price reflects the USB plus the map upgrade itself? Was there going to be a charge if you did the download and install yourself?

I didn't check that. So far, I've managed to do about 3 or 4 upgrades on my last 3 vehicles. It never went too smoothly (I'm a dinosaur with computers). I thought this time I would just get the pre-loaded USB and install. We usually take my '23 OBX with up-to-date nav on a trip. If we have to take the Ecosport, I'll just take the hand-held Garmin I have for work for back-up.

Dude, no need to yell. I write software for a living, I know how to copy a file.

Ford Bronco Sport Sync Navigation Map Update NA 2 22 Now Available - Installation Tips 1694389198844


However the zip file is opened/viewed, when I attempt to copy it to the USB, this is the error I get. If I press Skip, all other files are successfully copied to the USB.

File was probably corrupted.

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but here's a list of FAQs from Ford regarding possible SYNC update problems. This used to be accessible on support.ford.com, but for some reason it's no longer available there. I searched on Google for "How do I troubleshoot SYNC software update issues?" The first hit is back to Ford's owner support site (URL above), which says nothing can be found. A few items down the list opens the following:
