Re: Map version

There are two very different updates for SYNC.
The first is the maps update, ANZ 1 19 is the latest version, and all vehicles can take this update.
The second update is to the SYNC system itself, the latest vehicles are on 3.2, previous years on 3.0 . Both of these software versions have different build numbers, which basically is the most recent version of the software. There are lots of builds of version 3.0, and you want to run the most recent one. It is very hard to tell the difference between all the builds, they all look virtually identical. A build from 2+ years ago may not have run AndroidAuto or Apple CarPlay as smoothly as the current build - as a rough example.
The Map updates have to be done by the dealer, and mine always did it for free when the annual service was done.
The software build updates can be done by yourself, using the Wifi update method or following instructions from the Ford user website; where you will need to register your vehicle VIN details and download your update onto a USB.
I hope that this helps!
