Anyone getting constant reminders about checking for Wifi?

These past couple of weeks every time I start the vehicle I get an immediate message on screen that asks to check for available wifi so to be able to do updates? I have my home wifi set up on the vehicle but it asks anyway. And no matter where I am .... upon starting the vehicle this message comes up?

Anyone else getting this?

How do I disable this constant message

I keep seeing this message too. Not always though. Started happening a couple of months ago IIRC. Didn't used to be this way. I could disable the message but why are we getting it now?

Sync 3 v 3 Did it. If you connect your Truck to your house WiFi, when you startup it won’t ask, or you can turn off Auto Check, like was said above...

ooops, I should have done a search. this complaint has already been posted. I tried the turn off of wifi notice.........but ain't workin'. Still get the message. I don't want to shut off automatic updates (like if Sync 3 updates). So will wait a while and see if it decides to stop annoying me:893Chainsaw-Smilie- :)

Okay. Thanks Loki. I do have the truck's wifi setup to connect to the house's network. I suspect it doesn't always connect when I pull it out of the garage as the signal there is weak.

I believe Ford has stopped sending Wi-Fi updates, so you aren't missing anything. When a new update comes out, everyone downloads the update onto a thumbdrive and updates Sync 3 that way.

I have seen some coming down as recently as 3 weeks ago, so unless they have stopped them recently, I do not believe that as true. I agree though, that the USB method is far less painful and you will see a thread about it on here most likely if Ford releases a new one.
