Four weeks ago I purchased a Demo 2016 and I found the update to 2.3 on the web site and did the upgrade first thing. Later I installed the Car Play hub.

I am guessing the hub has nothing to do with the update being available or not. I just put in my VIN and it had the update right there to download ???? I did go get it however they did not send it to me or notify me of it. ??

Agree; the usb hub you have has nothing to do with what updates you get.

Thanks, finally got an email back from Ford saying they are aware of the issue downloading the files and are working to resolve it.

A couple of times and no change.

I installed 3.0 when it first was posted on other site, works great, no issues at all. I noticed the other day 2.3 update showed as available on the Owner.ford website.
My question is: If I enable automatic updates on my truck, will it try to install 2.3 on top of my 3.0 & downgrade me?

Other than that, the update seems to have gone okay.

The update may have gone awry only on the first part because it did not tell me it was finished updating after around 25 minutes. I had to shut the car off to refuel but I left the USB stick in. When it started up again, the first USB stick wasn't recognized at all, even when I plugged it in again. I went head and put the second USB with the other part of the update in and it completed normally and showed the update complete message after 7 minutes.

My build number after the update is 16280_PRODUCT and Gracenote is 1.1.1.615 (NA-0010).

Hello
Have you resolved this as I have the same issue
I have just done a sync 2 to sync 3 upgrade Version 2.2 and I have this one problem
"Voice Recognition not ready"
any ideas?
Car play is brilliant and siri works through the steering button
