So what all does this update do? So far i have noticed a few things but not really sure why these things were worth an update.

*When in reverse there are lines AND blocks to show your distance. Which honestly i think is retarded cause the blocks actually block your view some of the hitch when backing up.

*EVERYTHING time i crank my truck SYNC stays that my 911 is set to off.

*My A/C seats light all 3 blue lights faster now.

What has everybody else noticed?

Hey, guys -

Like thiggins said, the 3.6.2 update is exclusive to vehicles equipped with MyFord Touch.

Here's a link to see which system is offered for each trim level:

When update and/or enhancements are available for your vehicles, an announcement in our SyncMyRide owner forum:

http://boards.synccommunity.com/n/pf...cmb&listMode=0

Wayne - The FX2 offers MyFord Touch as an option. If you have this features, send me a PM with your VIN and address; I'll get a preloaded USB out to you in the mail.

UPDATE: I see you were able to install the update. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hey, Ford850 -

Do you mind sending me your VIN in a PM so I can pass this along to web support? Thanks!

Which internet browser are you using, clone? Did you happen to report the update by running a Vehicle Health Report?

The update covers the following:

• Information display on the homescreen for HD, Sirius (if equipped), and FM radio sources
• Simplified graphics and improved usability
• Enhanced voice destination entry for SD Card Navigation (if equipped)
• Improved Navigation vehicle positioning (if equipped)
• Rear view camera guidelines set to ON by default (if equipped)
• Updated SYNC/device compatibility information

I am using IE 10 or whatever is current I guess. I just ran a health report today, so I will see if tha takes care of it.

Just downloaded the new sync update but cant open the WinZip file because my WinZip trial has ended. Of course I can purchase WinZip but I don't use WinZip enough to purchase is there a work around that can be done?

You shouldn't have to open the file. Just move it to the thumb drive and take it to the truck.

This update may be automated for some, but I'm in the same boat as Fodase: The download page contained a link to start the download, and a series of screen shots describing how to save the file, find the downloaded file, manually extract all of the files to a USB stick, and then manually eject the USB stick. While the download page gave good detailed instructions, there are non-technical people out there who may be stymied by the manual process, even with all of the details and screen shots on the download page. For me, and probably a lot of other people on here, a simple statement of "Download the zip file, then expand it to the root of a USB drive" would've been sufficient, but there are people out there who won't be able to follow even the detailed process: I doubt my wife would've been able to do it without assistance (and she'd be the first to admit it!)

I wonder what triggers the automatic vs manual download pages? I've got an older computer with an older OS, maybe that's it?




Looks like gray rider is another one faced with the manual install process. Yes, you do have to extract the downloaded .zip file to the USB drive. If your WinZip is expired, and you don't want to pay for it, go ahead and use the add/remove programs control panel to delete WinZip from your system. Basic zip file operations are built into the more recent version of windows:

• To extract a zip file, right-click on it and select "Extract All..." then follow the wizard prompts. (This is described in the manual update process on the download page.)
• To compress a zip file or folder, right click on it and select "Send To" and then "Compressed (zipped) Folder

Neither option gives you as much control as WinZip (or my favorite 7-Zip) but it gets the job done in most cases, and is all you need for this update. If your version of Windows is so old that it doesn't have these options, then you're going to have to pony up for something like WinZip or 7-Zip - not just for this update, it'll be useful in many other situations.

Just updated mine with no problems, and that's a feat for me as I'm technologically challenged. It took approx. 30 minutes, but wiped out all of my wallpapers. Thanks a bunch to Wayne (Z7What) for the help. I couldn't confirm the update on my computer because of the stupid stupid web site. I called the SYNC line, and they took care of the confirmation.

FYI, for those that have trouble with downloading. You can call the SYNC people, and they will send you a USB already loaded at no cost. I was going to do that, but finally got it to download to my USB.

Did the Vehicle Health Report take care of it, Clone?

To piggyback off of Wanted33, you can also come to me if you're having trouble downloading and need a USB sent. PM your name, VIN, mailing address, and the issue you're experiencing.

Jack,
Can I download this on my Mac or do I need a windows machine?

Just updated my SYNC, the update to the ac seats button, and song and artist on the entertainment section was worth the update.
