If a download is offered to upgrade to latest SYNC 3, first do that installation according to the provided instructions. If the system says you have the latest version, go on with the next step. For this to make sure, just check your country’s official Ford Sync 3 update website and enter your VIN for the system to check. Latest SYNC 3 required (pre 3.2)įirst ensure you have the latest Version of SYNC 3 installed. If for whatever reason you don’t want to share your vehicle’s data with Ford servers but still like to have F8 maps update, you might want to check the workaround solution, too. This tutorial (describing the official way to upgrade) will not work with vehicles that have a converted SYNC 3 module installed (like a US Mustang with a swapped APIM module for having European maps, for example), but there is a solution for that, too. If you have a MY19 car with SYNC3 this update is not compatible with the new partitioning of the newest APIM hardware. This will however only work with pre-MY18.5 vehicles. Updating to F8 maps (Europe 2018) on Ford vehicles equipped with SYNC 3 became a lot easier than the former procedure to upgrade to F7, so this tutorial will get a lot shorter than the popular “old” one from last year.
