If you are the proud owner of a Ford vehicle with SYNC 4, you may be wondering how to check for updates. For those who don’t know, SYNC 4 is the latest version of Ford’s infotainment system which includes support for voice commands and hands-free calling as well as access to applications such as Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. To ensure your system has the most up-to-date features and security patches it is important to keep it updated regularly. Fortunately, checking for an update on your SYNC 4 system is quite easy.
First off, make sure that your device is connected to either a Wi-Fi network or mobile data connection so that you can download any available updates. Once this has been done you will need to press the “Phone” button located on your steering wheel and then select “SYNC Settings” from the menu options presented on screen. You should then see an option labelled “Check For Updates Now” – simply select this option and follow any additional instructions which appear in order to complete the process. Depending on what type of device (e.g., smartphone) you have connected via Bluetooth some additional steps may be required before being able to access this feature but these are usually quite straightforward too! Finally once everything has been completed successfully you should now receive notifications whenever there is a new software update available – happy motoring!
