2016 F-150 Sync Update
Hi all,
I have always appreciated the great help I find here at FTE. I have a 2016 F-150 with Sync 3, Version 1.0, build Number 15139, Nav 1 14.
I called my local Ford dealer to ask if they could update my Sync to at least version 2.2 (not sure if 3.0 is available for my truck, does anyone know?).
I was told by the service manager that only a small update to Version 1.0 was available and it would cost $149. This was based on him inputting my VIN into Ford Oasis.
Does this make sense to anyone? Is it possible that my Sync 3 version (1.0) is not updateable?
My goal was to get version 2.2 so I could use Apple Play.
I have also tried the ford.owner.com registration site for Sync. It has been down for days. I have called Ford multiple times and they say they are working on it with no ETA of repair.
Any thoughts if I am stuck at Version 1.0 ?
Thanks for the time and consideration.

If you have a 2016 with Sync 1.0, it is very likely you need to change a part in your truck to make CarPlay work.
My Android Auto worked very well, I didn't need to change anything.
You can download it all in Ford.com website .... https://owner.ford.com/tools/account/how-tos/keep-your-sync-up-to-date/sync-software-update.html#/prepare

I have tried via WiFi for quite some time. It says it last checked this morning for updates but no updates show up! Thoughts?

The wi-fi update method is hit and miss. Some get it to work, others do not. I’ve tried for months on end and it’s never picked up and downloaded the update that I can see on the Sync website. You can also try updating via the USB. I’ve gone that route twice and was successful only once.
The Version numbers seems to vary based upon your Nav configuration. I’d just wait until Ford figures out the Sync Owners website and try the USB method.
