I appreciate any advice you can give. Perform a master reset and after next ignition cycle wait for the old maps to load to get your location displayed. If there is an xml file in the SyncMyRide folder of your thumb drive delete that file. Then try installation process again. Hi tried as advised but still getting the message as above. I have bought two new and different USBs and will try again with these.
Failing that I am going to try to do the F7 update to see if that works. If no luck it will probably be a visit to the dealer. I will keep you posted as it may be useful info for others doing the update. Perhaps it writes a file during part 1 of the install and because that is missing from the new download, it is effectively stuck?
Not sure but will try options as above and see what happens. There seems to be not enough space on your SYNC3 module. Hi No I have only performed 2 updates. First was around 1 year ago and again based on files provided by Ford after I input my VIN to their website, then the upgrade to version 3.
Goinf to try the F7 update tomorrow as I have a 4 hour drive. Just formatting USBs now. It does seem strange that it is giving 3 different errors. I have also emailed Ford to ask what I should do as none of the dealers I spoke to seem sure. They are basically saying bring it in and we will take a look. I need them to tell me they can reset the unit such that it will accept the update again.
I am guessing there is an interface somewhere on the unit that a laptop or diagnostic tool can be connected to? It is said in troubleshooting that can be done with a hardware change, what does that mean? Can the sync hard drive be changed easily, or do you need to buy another EU hard drive from another car?
Hardware is here. After turning car off, locking dorrs, etc and reseting sync3 to factory defaults map version still says F6. I was expecting to see F8. I have no idea what the content of your downloaded package is. There is actually no issue. However, if you are unwilling to send me your VIN chances are quite low I am willing to help. Thanks for sending it in. Your download has no maps update but a Gracenotes and Navigation Voice package. However, if running your update there should be an XML file be created in the SyncMyRide directory which you can use to report this update to Ford servers on that update page you downloaded it from.
That might activate a more recent maps download after an amount of time. I have a uk Ford Focus which had a sync 2 apim. However, starting from 3. Sometimes Ford servers have issues. There is nothing one can do about it except trying it again, later. I am still trying to install, I have used different USB sticks but still no luck.
Hi, i have a S-max , i trying install maps but wont start. Any ideas? If you considered the guides but nothing happens, please consider your local dealer. I always suggest using an USB thumb drive with an indicator lamp to see if there is something going on. I checked the update status of mY car on the ford website and it was not up-to-date as I expected. I think the update status of the car was downloaded over wifi, rather than relying on the owner doing it using the xml file.
Have added this in case it helps anyone, would be interested if anyone has seen the same result. If this fails to work with the package that was created for your car you can modify your install. Double check the path, file name and file name extension in the Open1 directive exactly matches the filename fail example:.
Guru — Thank you! The website had then invited me to download a current map update — but it delivered the files which you pointed out were not a Map update. I tried again today and the Ford UK server offered me a new zip file.
So I guess the Ford site finally assembled my Map update file, after a few days? I initiated download of this zip file to a space of more than 40Gb on my PC — but it failed after a couple of hours and only 6,,Kb. I have the part file — and will try to reinitiate the download. Just finished the update. It went well. It happened twice. No problems with language. Everything in Portuguese as it was before.
I also had to use zip file from the link you provided too, to create the log file. It went well too. Fiesta ST Line 1. Best wishes. When i go to UK Ford website my software is always uptodate and new version of navigation are proposed Is it possible for me to download map from UK Ford server and in fact have map and voices in french?
Thanks lot for your help. Hi Patrick. Hi, Update to Map F8 from F6. I updated my SYNC3 to version 3. Still looking though, I'll let you all know. So from what I'm reading around the interwebs. The issue is when you are connecting to the game servers it is over saturating the router.
I just lowered mine to and will try that out for a day or so and let you all know if it helps. By default this setting should be at Automatic Last edited by Gork3n ; 23 Aug, pm. Mine was on automatic, I'll give it a shot thanks. Tried; still didn't work and seemed to cut out for longer periods.
Cheers for the try though, shame it's such a weird bug. Per page: 15 30 Date Posted: 22 Aug, pm. Posts: Just that they'd "pass it on" In other words eat it. Actually you guys cannot be doing the same update as Thomas has 3. What it does mean if that the same error is occurring which is strange.
Thomas, your latest update is 3. Are you getting the download from the Ford owner site? Yes from ford. Unlike NFG i dont know what im doing lol, i had no issues updating maps on the 10th of Jan though. OK, so all the files are correct checked against to file I had for my wife's Escape.
From your hard drive you then unzipped the file using Stuffit. And this is where you ran into this problem?

Something about adding Alexa, Waze, etc.. WinRar says its a corrupt file so I'm assuming this is on Fords side.
Anyone else getting this thats doing the update? I tried over wifi in the car, but it doesnt pull up the update. Bikeman Well-Known Member. NeedForGreen said:.
The maps update must be formatted as FAT32 but the trick is to download the zip file to your desktop then extract to the stick. Then drag the license download file which is a separate download into the Sync My Ride folder on the stick.
