A physical letter arrived in my mail today notifying me of a new upgrade for the Sync system in my Focus ST. Suddenly giddy, I hopped on my computer
to find a 1.5GB download required for the update. While it downloaded, I actually read the letter that said I had to order a physical SD card replacement before the upgrade or my nav wouldn't work.
It took me 10 seconds to decide to upgrade anyway, blinded by upgrade excitement. The letter also said "up to an hour" and "keep your engine running during the upgrade" which turned out
to be good advice, as it was almost exactly an hour before the upgrade completed, and then another 10 minutes before it really completed.
Aside from yelling about the wrong SD Nav car everything seems to be working fine, but no major changes other than the exterior temp now shows up at the top. Hopefully the
replacement SD card will show me a world of wonder with the new nav system.

1.5 gb firmware? Was that a full re-install? and 1hr engine idle to install? That's not going to fly with the hippies! Senator Kelley |
