Updated mine last night. It does take a while to put it on the flash drive. Loaded it in my truck and now the voice part doesn't work! I push the button on the steering wheel to call someone and you can see it's asking for something but you can't hear it. Told it to call someone and the names appeared but I couldn't say what line I wanted! I touched the line I wanted and nothing! This is actually the first actual problem I've had with it.

Gen1 - V4.1.2F is what's listed as the latest for my truck which is what I have. I was kinda hoping for an update. They SYNC system is the only complaint I have about this truck. It's so quirky and temperamental. I'm always having issues with it.

If you have MFT it seems like a fair assessment to not update, while those of us with regular sync need something badly and are being ignored by Ford.
We need an update to fix what's fubar.
Ya'll get an update that IS fubar, go figure.

So it might not be the update. I was having Internet issues when I was downloading it. They'll be out today to fix the Internet and then I'm gonna try it again. I do have my ford touch and not just sync. Couldn't remember if I mentioned that.

I did the update yesterday, and I have to admit it worked well. I did an update in June to bring it up to (at that time) the latest spec, and it was a little bit cumbersome to get through the process.
This time, they've used a Java platform to automate the process. After downloading the file from Ford (which took a little longer than I expected; maybe their server was still busy), this time just sticking the flash drive into the truck port started the process (which took about 30 minutes with the truck idling in the driveway). The MFT/Sync rebooted itself several times, and at the end there was a confirmation screen saying it updated successfully.
I haven't had time to check out all the features or find any new ones, but so far it seems to work OK .....

MFT is more stable with the new software - better all around experience. Nice upgrade. In my previous Acura's we never had software upgrades like this. I think it's awesome they're improving it.
