So I guess my question is what happens to software updates in all the Microsoft Snyc systems, I currently own a 13 f-250 SD that has this system plus the nav ?????

I'm still baffled by all the SYNC hate. My 13 has it and it really hasn't been any trouble. I had a few little glitches that the latest update seemed to cure. Maybe it's because I don't have a smartphone, I don't know, all I really use it for is handsfree, most everything else my phone isn't capable of. Yeah, sometimes the voice activation has issues with long names, but nothing out of this world bad. I don't use the Nav a ton but when I do it's always gotten me where I needed to go............. As far as the satellite location and it showing off the road when it's on a road, well, my garmin in my work truck does the excat same thing in that area. It's a mapping or sattelite issue.

I like the SYNC. I don't know what else to say.

Can't say it any better. And I use it with a smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S3) and everything has just worked from day one.

I agree with both of u mine has worked good too the only problem I had was it would lock up but I use a iPhone 5 and they said it was locking up because I had too many contacts in phone, I deleted all no essential contacts and problem went away other then that I love everything about the sync system
