It's not a problem per say. It's this way on purpose. Once Ford gets a stable version running in your vehicle they don't want it to update unless there is a major change or issue with your current version. Updates an often cause more problems than they solve so to avoid warranty claims, Ford doesn't push these updates.

 

I can't seem to get the popup about connecting to WiFi to complete my Sync update to go away, even with WiFi turned off.

I think I have found a work around for the audio system defaulting to starting on FM even though I listen to Sirius and have Sirius on when I shut the truck off.

What I have found, and it may only work on mine, is if I don't immediately start the truck, but just turn on the ignition, the audio starts on Sirius. I then crank the key the rest of the way to start the truck. The audio is silent for several seconds, but then comes back with Sirius playing.

I've gotten into the habit of getting into the truck, turning on the ignition, reaching over to shut the door, then turning the key the rest of the way. So far so good....

Perhaps those with diesels and glow plugs start their engines that way anyway, but it was a minor behavior change for me.

 

Don't know if this has been mentioned previously,

.......but when I plug iPhone into USB while having waze app open and on screen, the FM Stereo turns ON every time a notification is made verbally by waze app.

Kinks to work out I guess.

 

Doing a search didn't answer my question. What improvements does 3.0 have over 2.2?
thx,

Just as an update to the "switches to FM on restart" thing...

I've used the remote start probably 5 or 6 times since my last post. Each time, XM is on instead of FM, just the way I like it. Its a rather minor, but mildly irritating problem that it switches to FM when key starting.

 

So, if I understand you correctly, using remote start causes the desired affect of having the satellite radio play, whereas using the key has it default to FM even if the audio was on sat radio when shut off?

That would be analogous to my observation that turning on the ignition with the key, but not immediately turning to the start position, has the audio play the sat radio that was on when engine was shut off, whereas immediately turning the key to start has it start on FM.

Not sure what those with keyless ignition would do - push the button without pressing on the brake pedal, confirming that sat radio comes on, then pushing again with the pedal depressed. Kinda awkward.

I agree, it is a mildly irritating problem!

 

Does anyone have a link to download the nav version of sync 2.2?

Thanks!

 

Yes. I modified the posting to clarify. Using the key, FM is on. Using remote start, I defaults to XM where I left it.

 

My WiFi alert popped up for the first two weeks and havent seen it since.

New problem: It has twice switched my ambient lighting to purple on its own.

 

Well spoke too soon. Dang wifi message is back.

 

I posted this theory in the Forscan thread and from the behavior of the popup, I believe it is the case. The WIFI message is on a 7 day clock. If your truck isn't able to connect to WIFI and check for updates for 7 days, you get the pop up. Those with good WIFI where they park won't get this message as the truck is able to check every time you park. To cure this you ether need to make sure you have good WIFI where you park, turn off auto updates, or manually search for updates once a week while in range of WIFI.

 

I guess its safe to just turn off auto updates, as for over a year we havent seen any...

 

Just reverted back to 2.2 from 3.0...got tired of the "wifi" message everytime I start the truck.

 

For you guys on 3.0 have you tried doing a vehicle health report?

 

Have you got a link to it? I wasnt smart enough to save it and this wifi thing is not worth the hassle.
