Although I wasn't able to upload the file, the owners site confirms that 2.2 is installed. I guess the xml file wasn't needed? Or maybe it didn't actually error out despite the fact that it did? Either way, I can no longer access the zip file.
I'm guessing that the folks at Ford need to "reset" something in your profile to re-open the ability to download the zip file. The chat support people were super responsive and helpful. I'd suggest going that route for assistance.

ive called Ford twice and have a case #, but they couldn't help. They referred me to the next tier of support which is supposed to call me in 3-5 days. I'm on day 5 so we'll see. Thanks

Mine updated via WiFi last week, yesterday I recieved my new USB module from White Bear Autonation.
Sooooo... what exactly is the big deal with Apple Carplay? Downright retarded if you ask me. Stuck using Apple maps? And makes using Ford Sync all weird and funky.
No thanks, complete waste of time.

I had a Sync rep call me the other day about my case on my wife's Escape and once I told her that 2.2 uploaded successfully, she could care less that gracenotes did not have a version number and did not work. She just cared that 2.2 works.

I too can't upload the xml file on line. Called ford and he had me email sync@ford.com saying I updated and provided my vin. I also attached the file to the email. Haven't heard back yet.
I consider myself done with this, now just to play with it. So far pros and cons between systems.
