2011 F350 Sync Update
I have a 2011 F360 XLT with Sync 3 with software version 3.1. Ford website has Sync 3 version 4.6 as the latests and needs update. However it only allows selection of Find Dealer.
Is dealer the only way to do an update? If so, then never mind.
Or
Can it be done via USB with a PC Laptop.
Thanks.

Dave, you cant "upgrade" just the software from one sync hardware version to another. Our 2016's have the original Sync hardware. Each successive hardware upgrade got the incremental number Sync 2, Sync 3, and now Sync 4. Each hardware version has their own upgrade path. I'm pretty sure the software in our 2016's has been functionally stabilized and we are where we are now. Using the USB chip was the method to upgrade our unit's when there was an update, as there was no "over-the-air" updates for these.
