Another month

Well, we are nearing the end of september
Another month, another season, and the waiting continues
But I for one remember
The promise that was made before that I paid my dues

Still no news on the update that is much anticipated
Time flies by and the infamous usb hub is still cloaked in mystery
But I guess that was to be expected
Coming from the union of these two companies

Some say that roses are red and that violets are blue
But even if it is true it doesnt change anything
Since Apple's are red and that Ford is blue
All I want of them is to come forward and give me the damn thing

But for now, I guess, we'll wait another month...

Updates can also be done via USB, OTA the is not the only method. Map updates maybe released on a USB stick. I haven't seen anything that would say map updates would be included in sync updates. That would tend to lean more towards the need to pay for the update. Sync updates have always been free.

You'll wait until December. Several have posted they have been told that''s when it's going to be released. And that's inline with before the end of the year. So 12/31 we'll see the sync 2.1 update.

I'd say more like 12/23. The entire company pretty much shuts down for the holidays!

Reminds me of Crooked Hillary's e-mail releases.

Another lie and another break of promise.

So will there be a way to add a sync connect module to a 16 F150? (what about a late build one?) for the ability to remote start thru cellular or is the only option for that to add the option thru the alarm system?
