akirby Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 It does it even connected to my home wifi, in my garage, when I start the car. That's what was reported in other forums. I tried the update yesterday but it didn't work so I don't know for sure. VisionPilot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastfwd75 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 you shouldn't have to turn that off to get that stupid notification to quit popping up. Indeed. That is incredibly poor testing from the developers or a very strange goal to have a system that annoys you at every single start.

elijahbird7 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Just took the car out for an errand, and no Wi-Fi Notification at all. So turning off the Auto Check for Updates solved the problem, and now, it is staying with my USB as a music source, so all is well after a frustarting 2 days with that update.

elijahbird7 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Also, I had sent a 2nd email to the Service Manager at my Lincoln Dealer about 8:30 last night after I had solved the issue. At 7:15 this morning he replied and was very happy to know about this, since many times they do these updates for customers and now he knows what to do about it. Very good service at this Lincoln Only Dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisionPilot Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I went back to my WiFi connection, totally removed my home WiFi (forget), and re-established the connection. Then I went to the system automatic update section and launched a manual scan for updates, but it just sits there spinning, saying that it's scanning, for minutes... longer than I wanted to wait for it.. So I cancelled, ran some errands, and no more popup, even though I still had WiFi and automatic updates enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisguy159 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Comedy --- USB drive has to be at least 32gb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I just did it with a 8 gb drive. I guess they're just being overly cautious. DJJeffT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahbird7 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Songs start in the 50's through modern music. Very short songs in the 50's and 60's though, so 32gb is likely correct, since I copied songs from my computer several years ago to the USB, I don't really remember the size.

I think the 32gb was referring to the Ford requirement that the usb drive for doing the sync 3 3.0 update was at least 32 gb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Normally you would think that going from 2.3 to 3.0 would be a big change. I don't understand why they did not call this one 2.4 and then call it 3.0 when waze and alexa and all those CES demos actually work. I thought Waze was currently working on Sync 3 systems (with vs 3 update). Reason they are not updating map software, isn't it? Have you d/l Waze, plugged in via USB and see a Waze icon on screen?

akirby Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Does not work yet. Some people on other forums think it will with a future waze ios app update. Sync 3 enables it via applink but the Waze app itself has to be modified to work with applink and that’s expected within a couple of months.

NOTMY911 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Anyone actually purchased a copy yet? I think a couple guys did here: https://www.f150foru...x5/#post5707081 As for updating to 3.0, I started the process and when I returned the car was nor running... I was quite sure it did not updated but when I restarted it I saw the "steering wheel" on the screen, even the report back upload work this time.

akirby Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 My upgrade worked fine - took about 20 minutes while I was driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzio Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 This is a pretty solid update for both of our MKX's, apart from a few glitches. Apple CarPlay is much quicker to start and much more responsive. I also like (not sure if it did this before) how it slows down the fans in the car when using Siri so she can hear you better. Since we prefer CarPlay over SYNC's native functions including audio, we absolutely love this update. Only one of our MKX's were getting the Wi-Fi notification, which is odd. I believe it's stopped now too. I've found the system to feel a lot more polished now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My carplay does not seem any quicker than before or more responsive but I never had any complaints on that. It takes 5-10 seconds from car start to go to carplay and it has always been responsive for me. Mine definitely does not slow down the fans in the car when using siri. The wifi notifications seems to be random; I still get it sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisguy159 Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Just tried to update from my previous version 3.0 which I assumed was beta. The message I got was that my system was already upto date build 17194_PRODUCT. Can somebody confirm that is what they have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
