Sync GEN 2 Update Available

[rkaplan]

The SyncMyRide site had me print this out to show to my dealer - does this mean that the long-awaited Sync update has arrived?

 

Does this include the Internet browser yet?

 

What fixes does it contain?

 

The dealer notice from SyncMyRide says the following:

 

NOTE TO DEALER: The customer has requested BT4T-14D544-BD: Version SYNC GEN 2, Part#: BT4T-

14D544-BDon syncmyride.com. Enabling this on the customer’s SYNC unit requires dealer installation of

software available on the PTS website.

No browser.

Includes fixes, supposedly, for the lockups, reboots, slow response times, etc.

Breaks many things if installed improperly.

Seems to provide a Lincoln default wallpaper, based on what others have posted.

Seems to cause the ambient lighting actual to be mis-aligned with the on-screen color by one.

Exactly why I'm waiting - even though I currently have several issues with My Touch!!

Same here. I'm waiting a bit longer. I pulled the fuse again this weekend when the backup camera started misbehaving, usually the first sign of worse behavior to come. I can deal with that for the time being. My sales guy called me yesterday evening to let me know about the update being available as he knew I was having intermittent issues with My Ford Touch/Sync. I told him that I was aware of the update already and that I was waiting based on some of the early horror stories of unsuccessful installations - giving them time to get some experience on other people's cars. :-)
