Mojojellybean26 Report post Posted February 9 I just purchased a 2016 Lincoln MKX two weeks ago. The sync system is currently 1.0 . I have tried updating via wifi and through usb. (Many many times with different wifi and usb and following steps to letter) I have also walked through updates with two different Lincoln advisors and it will not update . I have spent 6 plus hours on the phone with Lincoln and Ford and been passed from Canada to the USA and back again. No one seems to know how to update system to Sync 3. The car is compatible for this upgrade that much I know. I finally gave up trying to update this myself and called the local dealer who quoted me $500 for an SD drive to update system. He then called back to say he was unsure whether this will work or not! He is doing more research he says. Like how can no one in this company know how to update this system!! I am beyond frustrated. I spent 35k on a car and I can’t use maps, etc. Anyway has anyone in Canada been able to update their sync? If so how???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim P Report post Posted February 20 Please check your SYNC version again. Should be 3.0. However, I agree with you it should be updated thru SYNC 3.4 when you took delivery. (Computer can’t handle Sync 4.0) Mine wasn’t either. I called Lincoln US and Canada for help. They want me to buy the update at the dealership. $100 US for Sync update, $500 US for five year subscription for map updates. Please check out eBay, they might have a USB solution for you. I’m going to pursue it… stay tuned. (I can’t recommend yet) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mojojellybean26 Report post Posted February 20 (edited) Sorry jim I checked and I do have sync 3 but version 1.so I guess it’s just version that needs updating . I was doing some reading on this and I m wondering if usb port needs to be updated . Dealership is telling me it needs to be changed out to get apple car play . Mb this is part of issue. Any information you have would help for sure Edited February 20 by Mojojellybean26 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
