Quick AE ?

How do you get current updates for AE? Do I have to go to their website or is there a tab when you open AE that you click on to get current updates?

Are you using your AE for other vehicles besides just the 7.3? If not, then I wouldn't upgrade the software. You will not see any benefit and might actually cause some new connectivity issues. If you don't have the security dongle, then you'll end up with it an that thing is just a P.I.T.A.....

Yes I do use AE for my other 2 Fords I have, an 08 Fusion and 08 Focus. I do have the security dongle also.

Yes I am. I hooked it up to both my F350 and X and ran all the tests and everything cks good. At first I must of had 30 different codes but cleared them out and now GTG. My son is having tranny trouble with the Focus so thats why I need to hook it up and see what its telling me. Dont have no issues with AE but just want to make sure I have the current version. I just bought it in April so I have the 10.2 version plus I got an email about if I have the current version.

In that case there is no harm in upgrading to the latest software. There are quite a few updates in 10.3 but I think they were for import models. The domestic stuff was already fairly bug free for the most part...

Here is a link to the update page.
