Default Sync Update Sync 3 V2 to XX...?

Hey All,

I recently purchased a 2016 xlt without navigation. The current software version is Sync 3 2.0 build 16074.

Correct me if i am wrong... but there should be newer updates out there? I have tried wifi updates, no dice. I have tried to navigate the ford websites and find a maze of broken links, and when i find a place that looks like it will do downloads I enter my vin and it tells me i am up to date.

Am i missing something here? How do i update further than 2.0?

Create an account on the Ford Owner website and download the latest Sync 3 update to a USB flash drive. Then install in the vehicle

I can't seem to find any information anywhere so trying here. I have a 2016 Escape ( yes I know, not a F150 ) and it has Sync 3, 3.0. Am I not able to upgrade to version 3.4?

officially you are stuck at 3.0 as ford says it’s not compatible with 3.4. Unofficially you can update to 3.4 but it takes a bit of patience and research to find all of the required files. I have successfully updated 3 different sync units to 3.4 so it can be done.

Oh okay thanks so much for the information! Could you point me in the right direction to get the 3.4 version?
