Not sure if anything updated or not - again the Ford dealer said the Sync system was up to date and no updates were needed. After I did these two things, I reconnected my iPhone and my contacts downloaded without a problem! I guess the moral of this is to not rely on the 'Ford Experts' to do their job when you take your vehicle in for repairs. Log in to your SYNC Owner account. Visit the SYNC Software Updates page. If you see the notification, 'You have an update available,' choose Download SYNC Update. Locate an empty USB drive that has at least 2 GB of free space and is not password protected.

Quick history. Just got my 2013 Flex SEL that was built in Sept. 2012 so it's been sitting for more than a year. I went to update SYNC this morning and it failed. ON my SYNC update page it shows last update Sept. 2012 so the system has never been updated. (You would think the dealer would do this for you).
I followed all the steps to update; it starts to update, then I get a message 'You have already updated your software...', Then it shows another screen like it's trying to update, then a 4th screen saying installation failed.
I have followed all the steps:
1. Download file to HD
2. unzip file
3. copy all files to 4GB USB drive (formatted FAT32)
4. Turn on Flex, engine running
5. Radio on
6. Insert USB drive (Install starts automatically but I get the error sequence above. I posted the screen images below. Sorry, they go by quick so camera focus is a little off.
After the first failure I reformatted the USB and tried from scratch with the same results. Any ideas on how to make this work? There is nothing else on the USB drive. I downloaded and installed on Mac OS X but that shouldn't make a difference.
OK, it won't let me attach photos.
Sync 3 Won't Update
1st screen: Installing file...(1 of 10)2nd screen: You have already updated your software successfully. Please remove the USB drive.
3rd screen: Installing file...(1 of 10)
4th Screen: Installation Failed! The installation has run out of space or does not work with this version.
Anyone knows what my next steps are? Please don't tell me I need to go back to the dealer.
