Anyone with sync 4 or 4a get any updates pushed through?
I’ve see the F150 and Mach-e get them almost monthly.
Fwiw I’m running 22025 rev 352

Me too. Plat 4A. I got an update last week but looks like we all have the same version.
Didn’t get me the new updated BlueCruise lane change function.
Poor marketing decision for early adopters not to get the latest updates first.

Updates on Sync 4 seem to be coming monthly (usually first week). Is everyone else seeing something similar?
Also, latest update (march 6th) re-set quite a few modules, which is a bit of a pain.

You need to go to the Updates tab — it will show the version# and if there are any updates available.

This screen shows your Sync version, and if the 'Update Now' button is greyed out it means you have the latest version.

That's what I assume however what I don't understand is everyone is talking about updates such as 3.5.3 or 3.5.4 and I see no version number with the same number format. The only version I can show is on the about page which is your version number since it says "Sync 4 Version". On your page above I have had no updates. So I'm curious, now that you have had the 3.5.4 update, what does your about show?

So I am in fact behind.
Hey I just got a new 23 king ranch max last week.
I have the same exact numbers as you, no idea how other folks are seeing the 3.X.X numbers.

Did you by chance ever get yours updated or is it still the same?

I received an email from Ford outlining the new Sync updates. Some of the features were better use of the screen real estate and the volume knob being able to change other settings, such as temperature.

Is there a way to find out when the update is coming?
Can I push the update manually to my '23 Expedition Max?
I am signed up for "Ford Early Access" but the website states that my vehicle is not elligible.

No way to update manually to my knowledge except for through FDRS. Ford vehicle diagnostic service or something like that. I believe the updates show up in FDRS a few weeks before OTA updates become available.

It requires a license, I luckily have a 2 day license I activated this morning. If you PM me your VIN I can send you a screenshot of any updates available for your car. That said to actually apply them via FDRS you would need to go to a dealer or attempt to do it yourself but the tools needed are expensive.

Being able to use the knob for temp would be HUGE. The system they have now is a total train wreck. Ditto the seat heat/ventilation.

Completely agree. I also have very young kids in back who can’t control the climate. So I’ve also gotta manage those settings and it’s all just super clunky and honestly dangerous at times when driving. I love my new expy but the A/C controls and annoying 2 step camera fix would really make this a perfect vehicle for me. Hopefully it comes soon.
