What are Lincoln Enhance Software Updates*?

Lincoln Enhance Software Updates help ensure your SYNC®** 4-equipped vehicle receives the latest software and feature updates. These improvements include:

  • SYNC updates.
  • Feature upgrades.
  • Security enhancements.
  • System fixes.

How it Works

  • Lincoln Enhance Software Updates are downloaded and installed using an external Wi‑Fi, such as your home's Wi-Fi, or through Lincoln Connect®*** (modem).
    Note: For faster updates, connect your vehicle to an external Wi-Fi.
  • Some updates will happen seamlessly in the background while you are driving.
  • Non-drivable updates require your vehicle to be turned off for a short period of time. You can schedule the update to occur when you do not need to drive your vehicle.
    Note: The door locks will remain as they were (locked or unlocked) when the update starts. Personal belongings should be removed from your vehicle or secured.

*Feature is available on select vehicles. Features may vary based on model year, trim, options, packages, and supply availability. Use the Build and Price tool to view feature availability on current models. If you have questions or need more information, reference your Owner’s Manual or contact your Lincoln Retailer. Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment, and need to control the vehicle. See your Owner's Manual for details and limitations.

**Don’t drive while distracted. Use voice-operated systems when possible; don’t use handheld devices while driving. Some features may be locked out while the vehicle is in gear. Not all features are compatible with all phones.

***Lincoln Connect (optional on select vehicles), the Lincoln Way App, and Complimentary Connected Service are required for remote features (see Lincoln Way Terms and Conditions for details). Connected Service and features depend on compatible AT&T network availability.
