I read that the updated version of Sync3 is being pushed out by Lincoln/Ford and was wondering if anyone installed it yet? Highlights of the update are below:


This software release is the latest update in our continued efforts to improve system performance, device connectivity, and the overall SYNC experience.

This software contains the following enhancements:

• Updated voice recognition engine.
• Bluetooth phone, media, and Wi-Fi improvements.
• Navigation user interface improvements (if equipped).
• Android Auto for supported devices.
• Apple CarPlay for supported devices. Owners of 2016 models with SYNC 3 are required to perform a software upgrade and purchase a hardware upgrade through your dealer.

I have been out of the country since early December so I will check when I get back after Christmas, but I sure hope that they fixed the issue I have with SiriusXM Traffic integration.

Mine is installed, did it via the USB drive. haven't played with it yet. I do have the new USB module for carplay on order and hope to install it tomorrow.

The only issue I am having is it seems the website to update the log file results to Ford is busted. Says it can’t find a file at c:\fakepath\

hopefully they can fix that soon.

I'm waiting to see if it updates through Wifi.

I did the update last week using a USB drive. I also installed the new USB hub required for Carplay. Everything is working great with no issues. Carplay is really nice.

I did the update from the USB with success but the confirmation upload back to Ford/Lincoln from the USB is failing.. Called Lincoln and they are notifying engineering...

Would it be possible for someone to post the update file, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Same here. Did the USB update but the confirmation upload failed. Let me know if you hear back from Lincoln.

They sent me a reminder email for the confirmation upload so I'll try again in a few days.

Glad its not just me with the problem - No word back from Lincoln.

I tried again yesterday and this morning with the confirmation and it still fails.

No big deal. I saved the .xml file on my laptop and bookmarked the update website link. One of these times it will work.

I think the problem is that none of the 2017s that I've seen (2 in the office including myself, a couple more on other forums) are receiving updates. No one has tried the USB method AFAIK and I don't even think it is a recommended way to do it for 2017s.

Lincoln must have pinged my vehicle via WIFI.. I went to the owners website and it now shows me at Sync 3 version 2.2.

I used the update file and android auto works fine for me.

Thanks for your post. I tried again yesterday to send the update file to Lincoln but it failed. Checking the Lincoln Owners site this morning confirmed that the SYNC3v2.2 update was registered on 15 JAN.

Mine didn't update over wifi and Lincoln tech support advised me to take the USB route. That too failed multiple times. I have a 2016 MKC and according to the Lincoln owner's site, I can update to the version 2.2. I am getting the following msg. I even did master reset. Still no luck.

===================
Installation failed.

The installation has run out of space or does not work with this version.
===================

Just wondering if anyone else got the above msg. Apparently my car stiil has SYNC 3 Version 1.0. Build 15139.

So since installing Sync3 2.2 the buttons on my steering wheel intermittently stop working. Today the dealer did a flash but the problem persists. This the first issue I've had in a year and a half.

I had the same issue. I called the Lincoln concierge for assistance and was told there wasn't even an update available for my MKC (even though the Lincoln owner said so and I downloaded the file from there ). I downloaded an unofficial two-part file and was able to update my sync without issue. Now I'm just waiting on my USB hub to arrive..

Problem was diagnosed as a bad clock spring in the steering wheel. Part is on order.
