SYNC 4A/ Power Up/ Software Update History (2021 Model)


Recommended Posts

Software Update Notes for my 2021 Ford Edge SE

This is the most comprehensive update list I have seen for the 2021 model year Edge. I do not know if other years follow the same update patterns as the 2021 model year.

I am missing the release notes for Power up 1.6.X or 1.7.X which ever my vehicle installed right after purchase from the dealership.

 

My vehicle is also registered in the Early Access Program.

 

Ford has a link to see what updates your vehicle has done (seems to only show updates since the start of 2025).

Ford Power-Up 2.3.1

Ford Assistant

Ever wanted to talk to your vehicle? Well, now you can with your own Ford Assistant. Just say,

"OK, Ford" to wake up your assistant and ask questions like "How does my Cruise Control work?"

Your rear view camera system has an update to resolve any blank screens or distorted images.

Completion of this update resolves the safety recall 22S14, and no further action is required.

Ongoing updates like this help you enjoy the best possible version of your Edge ® SUV.

Keep in mind that feature availability varies by model. For more information on these features, visit Ford.com/support or your digital Owner's Manual.

 

Ford Power-Up 2.3.2

Note that you may have received some of this functionality in a previous version, but this update has been enhanced.

Ford Power-Up 3.5.2

Big things are coming.

Alexa Built-in, the road-going version of Amazon's ever-helpful assistant, is coming to your vehicle soon. This update helps prepare your vehicle for Alexa Built-in and other future improvements. Stay tuned because another download will arrive soon to complete the process. Because of its complexity, this update may take longer than usual. But we promise you, it will be worth it.

Ford Power-Up 3.5.3

We've been super busy. Check these out.

Alexa Built-in

Yes, it's almost here. Most of Alexa Built-in has now been downloaded, with the final piece arriving in a few more days. Then you can wake Alexa up. Make a call, check the weather, interact with your smart-home devices, make a shopping list, ask for a joke. Just about anything you use Alexa for at home, you'll be able to do in your vehicle. Plus, add Ford Streaming and listen to music and podcasts

too.

You'll know it's time to activate Alexa when the icon appears on your SYNC® 4 Technology screen. Just click on it and follow the steps to register. Keep in mind that your vehicle must have Enhanced Voice Recognition and an activated modem. And, of course, you'll need an Amazon account.

More good news: Your first three years of Alexa access are on Us (streaming media services not included). That three-year clock starts ticking the moment the Alexa icon appears, so don't wait to set it up. You're gonna love it. Go to your Ford Account or FordPass® App to learn even more.

 

Ford Power-Up 3.5.4

You may have noticed we've recently made some more updates.

Advanced Dual Phone

Access two phones at the same time without having to mess with the settings. You could, for example, easily access both phones for incoming calls, contacts, text messages, emails and more.

Digital Owner's Manual

We made sure what you need to know is in there and easy to find. Go see it at Ford.com/ support, in-vehicle or in the FordPass® App.

Ongoing updates like this help you enjoy the best possible version of your Edge® SUV.

 

Ford Power-Up 4.2.1

You'll also now receive new pop-up alerts to inform you when a precondition is not being met so that you can take the required action to receive your update. For a non-drivable update, preconditions may include that your vehicle is parked, it's not running, all the lights are off, doors and trunk are closed, and you're not pressing the brake pedal.

Although the Edge is specifically not listed, a quick glance appears that what you show for the later power ups are the same for those used for the mustang. So I would assume the large power up for 1.7.1 is the same that was added for your Edge. 

 

Anyway, check this out.

The wiki page is my favorite thing to see what’s coming down the pipeline for Sync. Just figured it’d be nice to have a consolidated list of release notes for the Edge

There are different modules in the vehicle. The last two that I have received have been GWM update and TCU update. Ford hasn't pushed a Sync update to the vehicle yet.

Follow-up on my last post……today’s latest update (April 7)  for apim sync level……now shows a red “X” under my 2021 model year?  Possibly Ford no longer supporting 2021 edge? Thanks appreciate any insight/feedback

Posted (edited)

The last update I received on my 21MY Ford was Software Update 6.4.0 in February.

 

I think the 21MY vehicles get updates last or whenever Ford feels like it. I don't know if you check other forums on vehicles with SYNC4 but it does seem like the 21s are last to be updated.

 

Not much we can do stressing about updates, whenever we are blessed by Ford is when we will get updates

I registered my edge in the early access program so that maybe why i got 6.4.0. From all that I've read ford has the most bizarre system for updating cars. I have seen that 24s have a new version of sync, I feel like it is coming to the other years just whenever Ford feels like it.

Did you check to see if the 2.0.10 version was automatically installed on your car? Maybe your car no longer needs the update and the site recognized this.

No I didn’t receive that update as of this date …….currently at 23159 rev 915
