So I have an iMac and I tried a few times to install the update via a new 32GB USB, but I would always get errors. So I fired up an old Windows 7 PC, formatted the stick and loaded the update, voila! No problems at all. The issue I am having now is I can't update the Ford website with my successful update.
It's amazing to me that with high speed interent/wifi so readily available, that Ford has to push an update in this way. They deserve every hit they've taken in the past few years with customer "service" like this. I also see nobody from Ford has been in here to assist in any way!
**Also, I will be interested to see if this update solves the audio off bugs we've had for years now!**

I still am unable to transfer the .xml file to Ford to confirm upgrade though. Tried using various browers etc just in case was Safari, stl doesn't work.
It does tell you on Ford pages using Mac to use STUFFIT Expander. Just unzipping won't work.
George in NY - waiting for usb interface module in mail, no one has that either at Ford dealers naturally. By The way my install is on 2016 Ford Edge. In here because best information on upgrade found here.

Good morning, all. Good news for those of you that have been waiting. I logged onto FMCdealer today (Ford's website for employees) and they have OFFICIALLY released Sync 3 2.2 so for those of you waiting for the official release it is here. You can download if over wi-fi if you have that setup on your vehicle or go to owner.ford.com and download it to a USB stick and install it that way. You will, however, need to get the updated media USB port. Retail should be under $100 (somewhere around $75) and it's easy enough to change on your own, or you can pay the dealership to do it. Maybe with a little sweet talk they will do it for free since it takes about 2 minutes. Don't be alarmed if you call the service/parts guys and they don't know just yet. This info JUST hit the wire this morning. So there it is...go get it!

Been looking over the past few pages, didn't see what I was looking for. Can anyone provide tips for getting the OTA update over wifi? Tried everything short of a reset and can't get it to say there is a new version. Ford site says I'm good for v2.2. TIA!

I have a 2017 Platinum with nav, sync 3, sync connect, blah blah blah. The truck was a Dec 2016 build. I don't show an update available on the owner site. I have not received a message on Ford Pass. Lastly, when I try OTA, it searches for several seconds then goes away. The truck and owner website says I have version 2.0 and that I have the latest version. Oh, my travel link traffic does not load. HELP!!! HELP!! HELP!!
