I'm pretty sure that on the 2017's and up with SYNC 3 only receive updates via wifi for Sync itself. Updates that require IDS still need to be done via IDS. 2016's and below dont receive anything by wifi.

It's meant for you to share your phone (or other devices) hotspot with others via the trucks Wi-Fi. The commercials back in the day advertised it as a way to keep track or your tools and whatnot.
