I tried twice yesterday on my dad's 2016.
After about 10 minutes it said it couldn't connect. Gave up on it.
Went ahead and downloaded it on my computer ibut need to find a empty 32GB thumb drive to install it.

I’m not asking about doing the update via WiFi, I just want to know how long it should take for the Sync to actually determine if there is an available update. I have not been able to find that answer, but it seems like it shouldn’t take but a minute or so at most.

My 2016 has never shown an update. I just check the owner's site every now and then. Then manually load the update.

When checking did work for me in the past, I think it took about a minute. Since the update via wifi is not working on Ford's end now, currently Sync 3 will continue checking until the process times out (fails), which seems to be about 3-4 minutes. I haven't actually timed it, but that's my best estimate.
