Bumping this old thread... Apparently Ford does pay attention to this forum

Today I checked to see if there was an update available for Sync 3.0 - there is a new (to me) rev available v3.0.20204. (I was informed this has been out since 2020).

I remembered last time I did this process, it was a bit convoluted and the Ford site instructions were poor at best. I posted some instructions earlier in the thread to help others.

Well, Ford must be paying attention to this forum. Not only did they update their instructions (see here: https://help.ford.com/update-sync/usb/) but they also used my screenshot from post #13.

File timestamps are identical, they just removed the lined-out file. Guess I should be flattered?

Cool on the improved instructions, but not sure what you mean about the new revision being available. v3.0.30204 has been out since 2020.

You need to be on their payroll now as a work from home software engineer.

Sorry, guess I should have said "new to me" update - I haven't checked for an update since early 2020...
