If your vehicle has SYNC 3 with navigation, you can set up the system to receive automatic software updates via Wi-Fi. Once set up, SYNC will automatically download software updates whenever a new version becomes available, so long as your vehicle is connected to the established Wi-Fi network.

Note: Wi-Fi updates are only available for Navigation-equipped vehicles. SYNC 3 vehicles without navigation can update via USB.

Enable Automatic Updates:

1. Select Settings on your vehicle's SYNC 3 screen.
2. Swipe to scroll the screen to the right and press Automatic Updates.
3. Toggle the slide bar to ON.
4. Select System Wi-Fi to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
5. Press View Available Networks.
6. Select your network and enter the password if required. Your SYNC system is now set to check for software updates periodically.
7. Whenever the system is updated, a System Updated message and icon will appear in the upper right corner of the SYNC screen.

Notes:

• To update via Wi-Fi, your vehicle must be connected to an external Wi-Fi network, not the vehicle's hotspot, if equipped.
• You can use SYNC when a download is in progress.
• If the system is disconnected from the Wi-Fi network while a download is in progress, the download continues the next time a Wi-Fi connection is available.
• Updating SYNC does not update the Navigation maps. Click here to check for the latest map updates.
