Well that’s several hours of my life I’ll never get back.

All done but not without issues (and 5 hours of my time with the engine running)

In short, it took 2.5 hours twice. The first time around it didn’t write the log. I had hoped that by putting the USB back in and starting the process again it would recognise it had been updated and generate the log file, but oh no.......it went through the process of doing the whole thing again.

Unless future updates offer something amazing or can be done OTA, I may well not bother....it’s not as if this or the SYNC updates provide safety or security updates relating to the driving aids or systems.

MAP updates never seem to produce a log on updates (well i have never managed to get them to produce it) The last update i had (F9) took about 1 hour and then the ford account page said mine was all upto date after a couple of days with no log uploaded. I guess it might update if you connect to wifi and do a software check.

If only I’d known 😱

I got the log file second time around and was in the syncmyride folder. I uploaded the log on the Ford website as I did with the SYNC.

The car and the website are now saying I’m all up to date.

Maps F8 to F9. I think it was just over 8gb.
