Automatic updates

SYNC 4 automatically downloads Ford software updates and installs them when the car is switched off. The update will be completed the next time you start the car. You’ll also get an alert that the installation is complete via the FordPass® app, and on the car’s touchscreen.

Scheduled updates

Some Ford software updates need to be scheduled in advance, as the car needs to be switched off to install them. SYNC 4 will let you know when these updates are available and prompt you to choose an installation time. You’ll get an alert that the installation is complete through the Ford app and on the car’s touchscreen.
