Ive managed to successfully connect it to our home WiFi So, has anyone managed to install new apps, or update the Sync system here in the EU? To answer my own question and to help others in the future. My Focus was using Sync2. I found the update file via a US forum and successfully updated my car today to 3. If someone wants the file, post here I have it stored on my Google Drive.
It should work for any Sync2. Ive sent you both a PM via PH with the link for the files. PM has been flaky lately, so please let me know you received OK. However, during the week I got my hands on the EU variant 3. That installed great on my Focus, the nav works perfect and the spoken voice is much more acceptable. Its fixed quite a few bugs for me, and the car will now auto-connect to my android phone with no further input, which it wouldnt do before.
Hi OP, Would you also be able to share the file with me please? I take it if there's any problems with the update you can just factory reset the system?
Just to also check with you guys that this won't affect the warranty? SYNC handles all of the commands sent from an AppLink application and delivers the intended message inside the vehicle. All UI including commands, display requests, vehicle data authorization, and responses are managed by the SYNC system on behalf of the mobile application, and communicated over AppLink.
All over the world, people are using apps while in their vehicles. These apps reside on mobile devices and require some level of interaction such as locating the device, picking it up, entering a lock code, looking at the screen, tapping, swiping, or scrolling on the screen.
AppLink aims to keep eyes on the road and hands on the wheel, removing the device interaction completely. Users build their app habits outside of the vehicle and then want to bring these same habits with them while traveling in the car.
At the same time, in-vehicle user habits such as using voice commands, knowing where the buttons are located through muscle memory, and using large visual displays when appropriate, are ingrained in drivers.
AppLink is a simple way to provide users a way to bring their favorite content in to the vehicle by combining the app features with the vehicle controls.
App developers, mobile operators, handset manufacturers and auto OEMs all need to work together to find ways to ensure a responsible balance between the habits of using a mobile application and the accountability of operating a vehicle. Ford connectivity solutions, including AppLink, work to eliminate distractions to a driver, while still allowing an appreciable level of enjoyment from the millions of apps that are used every day.
