WIFI Updates working?
Has anyone successfully done WIFI updates to their truck? I have automatic WIFI updates enabled but it connects to the WIFI, asks for the password and then just sits there.
Questions:
How do I know if it is working?
Will this WIFI procedure also update the NAV maps through WIFI or just the SYNC software?

It only updates if there is an update available. I haven't seen one yet.
Don't think it updates the Nav. At least it didn't on previous generations. You get to pay Ford more money for those.

Mine connects to Wifi, and supposedly it did an update on May 12 according to the Ford Owner site. I didn't see it happen.
I don't think there's been a navigation update for SYNC 3 yet. Since there's no SD card slot in these trucks, they'll have to do it via CD, USB stick, or wireless.

Nothing available yet for 2016 or 2017, Likely will be either a download, WiFi or Ford will send a thumb drive.

The original notice said that 2016 F150 owners would have to update via USB but another notice came out a couple of weeks ago stating that the update can be done OTA.
Just keep your " Automatic Updates " setting on and make sure that when you exit your vehicle, you have at least 2-3 WiFi signal strength bars on your SYNC screen.
The vehicle does not have to be running.
Hope this helps.
