Dec 16, 2015 How to Sync iPhone with Ford SYNC. Ford has introduced a technology that allows you to sync your iPhone with the Ford car audio system so that you can access your calls hands-free. You will no longer have to manually open your phone. I had some issues going with the official Ford 18025 download, I had previously installed Sync 3.0 Build 17194 and the update just wouldn't take. So I got the unofficial version of the 10825 build and installed it with no issues. But now I unable confirm the install through the Ford site. Does anyone know what the XML confirmation file looks like?
Hi All,Quick history. Just got my 2013 Flex SEL that was built in Sept. 2012 so it's been sitting for more than a year. I went to update SYNC this morning and it failed. ON my SYNC update page it shows last update Sept. 2012 so the system has never been updated. (You would think the dealer would do this for you).
I followed all the steps to update; it starts to update, then I get a message 'You have already updated your software...', Then it shows another screen like it's trying to update, then a 4th screen saying installation failed.
I have followed all the steps:
1. Download file to HD
Ford Sync Update Download Problems
2. unzip file
3. copy all files to 4GB USB drive (formatted FAT32)
4. Turn on Flex, engine running
5. Radio on
6. Insert USB drive (Install starts automatically but I get the error sequence above. I posted the screen images below. Sorry, they go by quick so camera focus is a little off.
After the first failure I reformatted the USB and tried from scratch with the same results. Any ideas on how to make this work? There is nothing else on the USB drive. I downloaded and installed on Mac OS X but that shouldn't make a difference.OK, it won't let me attach photos.
1st screen: Installing file...(1 of 10)
2nd screen: You have already updated your software successfully. Please remove the USB drive.
3rd screen: Installing file...(1 of 10)
Download Ford Sync Updates
4th Screen: Installation Failed! The installation has run out of space or does not work with this version.
Anyone knows what my next steps are? Please don't tell me I need to go back to the dealer.
