So the update completed successfully, in 34min.
Everything seems to work (car play, bluetooth etc) however my vented seats are no longer working from the buttons on the screen nor from the physical buttons. I will re-read this thread to see if there is any information on that, but if someone could point me to the answer that would be great!

Appreciate you testing this and reporting your results. I’m interested in doing the same but I’m a big chicken to try something like this, so thanks.

I have posted a couple times here. I have updated/upgraded (5) different trucks w/o issues. Two of those were Sync 2 to Sync 3 upgrades (15 F150/16 F350)

I can also confirm that CarPlay and Nav work properly. It's a good update.

On a personal note, I think it's pretty ridiculous that Ford will not allow a software update on a current model truck. Everything else on the truck is still supported, why not software? It's probably the easiest thing about the vehicle to maintain.

Lol...... I’m with you and I’m terrified of doing something like this.
As the other poster mentioned, he lost some seat control features afterwards.

Mine where in fact not working until the restart (leaving the truck locked for a few hours in my case). But everything is working as expected.

Awesome and I’m glad to hear that.

I wish you were next door because I’d gladly pay you to do this to my F150.

I’m a Mac 🖥 man so anything Windows / PC related just goes over my head. 😂
