How to identify your SYNC® version
Four versions of SYNC are available, including SYNC with MyFord Touch, depending on your vehicle’s model and year. Learn which version of SYNC you have.
Learn moreSome updates will require your vehicle to be turned off for a short period of time. In order to ensure you won’t need your vehicle, we recommend scheduling your updates for a weekly time that works for you. Don’t worry about forgetting — you'll be notified in the vehicle prior to your scheduled time if an update is ready to install. You can also change your schedule at any time up until two minutes before the install starts and your vehicle will be inoperable. Don’t worry about your vehicle becoming inoperable while you aren't ready either: If certain preconditions aren’t met, such as the vehicle being turned off, the update install process will not initiate.
