ABOUT THE LATEST UPDATE
The new software update for SYNC® with MyFord Touch systems includes all the improvements from previous updates, plus additional benefits such as:
Navigation:
Map content for Europe and Australia/New Zealand regions
Mute button for SYNC Navigation prompts added to Navigation map screen
Estimated "Time of Arrival," instead of "Time to Destination" now shown on map screen
The installation of this update will take up to 30 minutes to complete.
Be sure to keep your engine running (not in accessory mode) throughout the entire installation process. Turning off your vehicle during the update installation will disrupt the process. Although your vehicle must be in park when you begin the installation process, you may drive your vehicle while the update is downloading to your SYNC system.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Intelligent Access with Push Button Start feature, you will need to temporarily disable the Automatic Engine Idle Shutdown (AEIS) component before beginning the installation in order to prevent your vehicle from timing out and shutting off the engine before the software update is complete. To disable this feature, use your steering wheel controls to navigate to the Settings menu on your left-hand Instrument Cluster LCD display. From there, select Vehicle >Auto Engine Off >Off. (If you do not see this setting, there is no need to make any changes before starting the update.)
Alternatively, after initiating the installation, you may drive the vehicle during the update process to avoid shutting off the engine. The next time you start your vehicle, the AEIS will automatically reset to "On."
Please note: During the update installation, SYNC will temporarily appear to not recognize your mobile phone or media device. This is normal. Once your system has been successfully updated, SYNC will display a notification stating "Installation complete."

There is a newer version of Microsoft Sync available for the 2014+ Fusions (They excluded 2013 for some reason due to hardware incompatibility at this time).
It is Gen 2 - Version 3.7 (EA5T-14D544-AC) and I have to say I am glad it is here after initially being released in Europe first. The interface looks the same with a few minor changes but most importantly it seems most of the bugs are fixed and it seems to run faster/smoother. I had it installed in my car a couple of weeks ago.

Different years as well as trims and/or radio styles will not all share the same version of sync and sometimes a sync version can only be updated via IDS (dealer level).
