Ford Syn2 V3.10 Download
Dec 28, 2016 Last night a Ford IVT team member on another forum sent me a PM indicating that v3.10 has not been released. This is contrary to some other info out there on multiple other Ford forums, as well as the Wikipedia page (I know, not always a source that can be trusted).
This is the final screen from the v3.6 MyFord Touch self-installation process.

It’s here!!! The MyFord Touch version 3.6 is available by going to the new website support.ford.com — and from initial quick tests… everything seems to work seamlessly and smoothly.
The new software update for SYNC with MyFord Touch systems includes all the improvements from previous updates, plus additional benefits, such as:
Improved system performance
Sync 2 3.10
Improved Home Screen
Increased Touch Zones on Home Screen
Improved screen interactions while using voice
Updated support for phones and media players
Improvements to System Installation
Quicker install – less than 30 minutes
Persistence of Navigation Favorites during installation
Ford Motor Company periodically releases SYNC® software updates to deliver the most advanced technology and this version was designed to hit some of the issues that have been out there — especially with ease of use.
Updates are tailored to your SYNC with MyFord Touch® system, and will vary based on your system’s current software level. The best way to find out what’s available is to log in to your SYNC Owner account at support.ford.com If you haven’t opened an account at this site, then open one up. The site will tell you if you need the update and guide you through the entire process.
Here is a quick overview of the steps to start the software upgrade:
Step 1 – Connect a USB drive to your computer. Before you begin, please make sure your USB drive is empty, has at least 2GB of free space, and is not password protected.
Step 2 – Get the update. The software download process requires your browser to have Java installed and enabled. If your browser prompts you to run a Java application from Ford Motor Company, please click “Run” to continue. You may also receive a security warning. Please click “Don’t Block” to continue. Be patient.. it may take 10 minutes or more to download the software update. And, using other programs during the download will slow down the process.
Now, take the USB from your computer and go to your vehicle…
Step 3– Take the USB drive with the software updates to your vehicle. Turn on your vehicle, and then turn on the radio.
Make sure your car is in a well-ventilated area. Your vehicle will need to be turned on, with the engine running between 25 to 35 minutes. Make sure that your vehicle is not in Accessory mode.
Plug the USB drive in to your vehicle’s USB port. The system should start the download process within a few seconds…

With the MyFord Touch system, now let your vehicle run and the entire download process takes about 25 minutes. While the process is going on, remove the SYNC system from your phone or device. You will have to pair it again after the installation.
SYNC displays “Installing Application” during the process. Do not remove your USB drive or turn off your vehicle while this update is in progress. Shortly after installation has begun, SYNC says “Installation Complete.” Ignore this message. It refers to a specific phase of the installation, not the overall update process. While the update is loading, SYNC will not recognize your mobile phone or media device.You will notice the software upgrade goes through at least five “sessions” of installing software and then “rebooting.” Be patient. Let the system run through the process and, as stated, in about 25 to 30 minutes will bring up the screen pictured above and once you push OK the process will end.
Ford Sync 2 Update 3.10
Once you have installed the SYNC software updates, you’ll need to pair your phone again. To complete the process, take the USB drive to your computer to report the successful installation (at the support.ford.com website).
You will notice that the MyFord Touch system seems more intuitive after the update. You will see a reference page appear after you push the Voice button that will assist in using the Voice commands.
Best of all, you could be listening to the Radio, using the Climate control or the Destination features and you can simply say “Call (contact name) and the Sync system knows you want to make a call without having to first say “Phone.” However, you will have to refer first to the mode if you want to go from Audio to Climate, for example.
More on the use of the upgrade after some “field testing.” For now, grab an empty USB jump drive and take “new control” of your MyFord Touch system. For those who aren’t comfortable with the self-installation process, please contact your Ford Service Department or your Ford sales representative.
So after some digging, I found out 3.10 was released sometime at the end of last year. SyncMyRide shows 3.8 is the latest which I believe everyone will see that as I believe updates need to be done through the dealer. I decided to give it a shot and after 30 minutes of installing, I had 3.10 loaded. Everything went smoothly and it moved over my navigation favorites and radio presets. I just needed to reconnect my phone. I have a 2014 HyTi which was running 3.8 before the install.
I found on the 2GFusions site a download to get the update. From my understanding, someone took the 3.10 files and put it in the 3.8 installer to get it working as at the end, it will say the 3.8 update completed. Rioachim provided the download which I am posting their link here if anyone is interested. As always, do at your own risk as this is not directly from Ford nor did I provide this install. Extract the .zip to a USB formatted FAT32.

ABOUT THE LATEST UPDATE
The new software update for SYNC® with MyFord Touch® systems includes all the improvements from previous updates, plus additional changes to accommodate new and updated customer devices, such as:
Sync 2 3.10 Download
- Hazard switch illuminates on Focus / Escape with ignition off and park lamps on
- Next Track / Previous Track controls from SYNC touchscreen
- SYNC Maintaining Repeat / Shuffle settings that were set on the device side
- Compatibility updates for the latest phone and media devices
I played around with it and have not noticed any changes which is obvious from the change logs. I was hoping some bug fixes might have fixed the issue I have with activating Siri when listening to my iPod. If I send a text through Siri, it will not pause the song and once done, the right dashboard screen will be blank till you press mute for a second or skip to next song. This was not fixed. The Navigation option on the right dashboard is still buggy so to me it wasn't worth it but if you are having trouble with a new phone, then this might be for you.
