Why isn't My SYNC® 4 Technology automatically updating?

SYNC 4 or SYNC 4A Updates Should Be Automatic

If your SYNC 4^* or SYNC 4A system is not updating automatically, the automatic Wi-Fi Ford Power-Up Software Updates setting is probably not activated. Like many of your devices, you have the option to update SYNC 4 or SYNC 4A two ways:

1. Manually, when prompted by an email or alert
2. Automatically with Ford Power-Up Software Updates (as we highly recommend)

To start using automatic Wi-Fi Ford Power-Up Software Updates, just navigate to the following on your SYNC 4 or SYNC 4A touchscreen:

SETTINGS > GENERAL > AUTOMATIC UPDATES > SLIDE BAR TO ON

When you opt in for automatic SYNC 4 or SYNC 4A updates, you will always have the latest version of software running on your system and, with the latest version, you will always enjoy an experience like no other.

What if my SYNC 4 or SYNC 4A Ford Power-Up Software Updates are on and my system still won’t update?

If your SYNC 4 or SYNC 4A Ford Power-Up Software Updates are on and your system still does not automatically update, there could be a different issue.** Other reasons updates may not be installed include:

• A reoccurring schedule has not been set up
• Vehicle connectivity issues
