I updated MFT/Synch this weekend, and now it's working MUCH better! Commands are understood, there's more interaction and explanation by Sync, and it interfaces much better with my iPod in selecting and playing songs and playlists.

The update was easy to do once I got a non-encrypted flash drive, definitely an improvement; I can now enjoy Sync/MFT even more. I know there's a lot of criticism about the system, and rightfully so in some cases, but Ford does seem to be putting the improvement efforts in the right direction.
 






I've purposely waited to update my MFT system as everything was working perfectly on the 3.6.2 update. Well last week I had my first system reset in a very long time so I thought I would finally update to 3.8 which I did last week. I am now encountering some glitches with my system. It worked fine for a few days and then all of a sudden, the following started to happen. I start the vehicle, the MFT goes to the home screen (all is fine), I then back up out of my garage and the back up camera comes on (all is still fine) and then I put it in drive to go on my way and the MFT screen goes to the main phone menu but only half the menu appears and the screen also freezes. I touch the screen but it won't respond. The screen will reset itself after I shut off the vehicle and restart. This doesn't happen every time I backup but perhaps half the time.

I did a Master reset which seems to work for a few days again and then it started happening again. This never happened with 3.6.2.

Is there a way I can go back to 3.6.2? Is that possible? Thanks!
 






I noticed the very annoying glitch using 3.8. Every other time I drive my vehicle the red arrow showing current position of the vehicle is 20-40 m behind. I might be right at the intersection and the red arrow is not yet there!
I was first thinking about GPS module, but latest TSB has been applied to it and the other thing is that I have this glitch on my both Focus and Explorer running 3.8. When I did downgrade to 3.6 navigation was working as it supposed to and was showing correct vehicle location on map.

I can help you downgrade, I would recommend going to 3.7.11, I find it to be stable. PM me

It seems that I've read about that issue before.

Hi CC Rider,

I'm glad to hear that everything went well. Thanks for sharing. :)

TRK1,

When you paired your phone to the car, did you turn on 911 Assist: https://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-technology/sync/settings/911-assist-overview.html

Guys, I confess I have not kept pace with this MFT/SYNC levels discussion. I have a couple questions. I do not have siri working through the voice button on wheel and have to push her button on my phone or headset. By updating does siri work through the button on wheel?
I assume MFT and sync upgrades are available on the ford site as long as vehicle is under warranty. is that correct?

Yes, MFT v3.8, and iOS 9.3 SIRI works.

The warranty period doesn't affect the availability of the MFT/Sync upgrades. 2011 models are still getting the same upgrades as later models.

Hi expoman55,

Updating to version 3.8 will activate the Siri Eyes Free feature as long as you have iOS 9.3 installed on the iPhone. To initiate Siri, press and hold the VOICE COMMAND button on your steering wheel for approximately two seconds. When you hear the tone, talk to Siri as you normally would.

Updating sync

I have tried downloading the software and it will not update on the radio. Says online that it should popup on screen to install software but it doesn't.
 






Make sure your flash drive is NOT password protected! That's the first mistake I made, I had to but a flash drive without encryption for the update to proceed.

Welcome to the Forum. :wavey:
When you check the thumb drive does it show the 3 files as in post 267?
