MyFord Touch, maligned for its unintuitive touch-sensitive buttons, tiny touch-screen icons and overall lag, will finally head into the sunset. This is exactly 1,800 days since we first reported on the system, which appeared in the restyled 2011 Ford Edge and its 2011 Lincoln MKX sibling.

Aug 05, 2013  The new MyFord Touch v3.6 Software Upgrade is Here! Posted on August 5, 2013 by Vincent. This is the final screen from the v3.6 MyFord Touch self-installation process. Vincent Hennigan. I want you to send me the direct link to download the software update for my ford touch. Ford doesn't release all versions for all vehicles, and 3.10 isnt released for the Fusion via the Sync site. Probably because the changes made from 3.8 to 3.10 only apply to other vehicles, and people seem to think they need 3.10 anyway so they pay the dealer to install it.

Four years, 11 months and 5 days later, meet Sync 3. The third generation of Ford’s Sync system (the automaker already markets Sync 2 in Europe), Sync 3 promises conversational voice recognition, less complexity, smartphone-like pinch and swipe touch-screen motions, better app integration and over-the-air updates through home WiFi networks, according to Ford.

The system arrives in cars next year, and it won’t require a full redesign. It’s the same size as MyFord Touch, Ford spokesman Alan Hall told us.

Hall confirmed that Sync 3 would also migrate to Lincoln vehicles, replacing MyLincoln Touch. Though the automaker showed the system in the dashboard of a current-gen Fusion, it won’t be backward-compatible, Ford spokesman Mark Schirmer told us, because it’s “new software and hardware.” That means if you own a Ford with MyFord Touch, it will stay that way.

Sync 3 eschews MyFord Touch’s quadrant layout for a more conventional menu grid with large floating icons, much like many competitors’ multimedia systems. Ford says it has three core zones: navigation, audio and phone. Presumably, MyFord Touch’s fourth quadrant, climate, has been banished to the physical buttons below the screen. Sync 3 will have shortcut buttons along the bottom of the screen, Ford promised. Sync AppLink automatically syncs compatible apps from your connected smartphone to the system, and IHS senior tech analyst Mark Boyadjis estimated there are “60-plus” apps available. Sync’s 911-assist feature, which automatically dials for help from a Bluetooth-linked phone if you’re in an accident, now relays more information to emergency responders: the type of crash, for example, as well as which airbags deployed and who wore a seat belt.

Rather than Microsoft, which was responsible for much of MyFord Touch’s operating system, Boyadjis said Sync 3 comes from multimedia giant QNX — responsible for platforms like Chrysler’s Uconnect, as well as systems from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

That bodes well for the system. At an unveiling in Dearborn, Mich., Cars.com Detroit Bureau Chief Aaron Bragman had a chance to see Sync 3 in action. He said it appears to fuse the best parts of rival systems like Cadillac User Experience and Chrysler Uconnect but appears “faster, smoother and simpler than any of them.” It’s “highly visible, easy to read, [with] nice big, clear icons,” Bragman said, and it “switches screens and processes functions faster than any system I’ve seen, except perhaps Audi MMI.”

What a difference from MyFord Touch, which was problematic even after Ford returned physical buttons and knobs in cars like the Focus and F-Series and they reappeared in recent introductions and redesigns. The system was blamed for poor reliability among Ford and Lincoln vehicles from Consumer Reports reliability rankings to J.D. Power and Associates’ Initial Quality Study. We weren’t surprised, given MyFord Touch has shut down and rebooted on us more than once.

Another big differentiator: Sync 3 can receive over-the-air updates. But it does so through owners’ home WiFi networks rather than an embedded modem like Audi and Tesla use, Boyadjis notes.

The updates “allow Sync 3 to connect up with your home WiFi network, provided you get a signal in your garage,” he said. “You say accept [the updates] and lock the car, go in and have your coffee, et cetera, and the next morning you have your update. And frankly it’s not going to take the [full] 12 hours.”

Specifically, the system checks for updates “several times a month while it’s parked and you’re not in it,” Ford’s Hall said. “If I bought a car and I’m at home and I input my [WiFi] password to the Sync system … it will ping it several times a month to see if there are updates available, and it will download [the updates] on its own.”

What if you don’t park your car within home WiFi range? You could still go to a dealer and have the updates installed or do so by USB connection, Hall said, or you could go somewhere with a WiFi signal in the parking lot, like a coffee shop.

The on-air updates are a big shift from MyFord Touch, whose updates required the automaker to ship out hundreds of thousands of USBs, which owners then had to plug into their cars and wait 45 minutes to update, Boyadjis added.

“They spent 18 months on this, and I think it shows,” he said. “I don’t believe anyone is going to look at that system and think of it as very flashy, very ‘wow-factor’ as far as [a] feature-rich infotainment system. But what Ford wants is for their customers to look at it as incredibly easy to use.”

Here is a quick overview of the steps to start the software upgrade:

Step 1 – Connect a USB drive to your computer. Before you begin, please make sure your USB drive is empty, has at least 2GB of free space, and is not password protected.

Step 2 – Get the update. The software download process requires your browser to have Java installed and enabled. If your browser prompts you to run a Java application from Ford Motor Company, please click “Run” to continue. You may also receive a security warning. Please click “Don’t Block” to continue. Be patient. it may take 10 minutes or more to download the software update. And, using other programs during the download will slow down the process.

Now, take the USB from your computer and go to your vehicle…

Sync 2 Update

Step 3– Take the USB drive with the software updates to your vehicle. Turn on your vehicle, and then turn on the radio.

Make sure your car is in a well-ventilated area. Your vehicle will need to be turned on, with the engine running between 25 to 35 minutes. Make sure that your vehicle is not in Accessory mode.

Plug the USB drive in to your vehicle’s USB port. The system should start the download process within a few seconds…

With the MyFord Touch system, now let your vehicle run and the entire download process takes about 25 minutes. While the process is going on, remove the SYNC system from your phone or device. You will have to pair it again after the installation.

SYNC displays “Installing Application” during the process. Do not remove your USB drive or turn off your vehicle while this update is in progress. Shortly after installation has begun, SYNC says “Installation Complete.” Ignore this message. It refers to a specific phase of the installation, not the overall update process. While the update is loading, SYNC will not recognize your mobile phone or media device.You will notice the software upgrade goes through at least five “sessions” of installing software and then “rebooting.” Be patient. Let the system run through the process and, as stated, in about 25 to 30 minutes will bring up the screen pictured above and once you push OK the process will end.

Once you have installed the SYNC software updates, you’ll need to pair your phone again. To complete the process, take the USB drive to your computer to report the successful installation (at the support.ford.com website).

You will notice that the MyFord Touch system seems more intuitive after the update. You will see a reference page appear after you push the Voice button that will assist in using the Voice commands.

Best of all, you could be listening to the Radio, using the Climate control or the Destination features and you can simply say “Call (contact name) and the Sync system knows you want to make a call without having to first say “Phone.” However, you will have to refer first to the mode if you want to go from Audio to Climate, for example.

More on the use of the upgrade after some “field testing.” For now, grab an empty USB jump drive and take “new control” of your MyFord Touch system. For those who aren’t comfortable with the self-installation process, please contact your Ford Service Department or your Ford sales representative.
