Confirmed Version 2.11

[chimoman]

Just had my Ex updated today. Checked sync and the version is 2.11


BT4T-14D544-BM Gen2 - V2.11 This software release is the latest update in our continued efforts to improve system performance, device connectivity, and the overall SYNC experience. This software contains all previous enhancements, so there is no need to install any other updates. The installation of this update will take up to 40 minutes to complete. DO NOT remove your USB drive or turn off your vehicle. You must wait until Installation Complete displays on the center screen before removing your drive or turning your vehicle off. While the update is loading, SYNC will not recognize your mobile phone or media device. Be sure your vehicle engine is running (not in accessory mode) throughout the entire installation process. Although your vehicle must be in park when you initiate the installation process, once the download process has begun, you may drive your vehicle. CI 7/19/2011

Wooooo Hoooooo!

Did you get this update at a 'normal' dealer?
If so....
How did this get out and our customer service reps did not know and announce it to us?

Are you serious? No way. Time to rush to the dealer!!!

 

[kappaknight]

Really? You're expected to run the vehicle for 40 minutes on idle while this thing updates? There's gotta be a better way.

 

[chimoman]

I think that is a dealer update only. Not sure someone should check the sync site. When I got home it said 2.11.

Yes it was at a dealer. He told me he installed 2.6. Wasn't the Tech though. Looked at the sheet and it said updated to latest version. Which I take is 2.11

I'm amazed at how fast it works. I mean.... really fast. switching between radio and USB is instantaneous. No lag at all. Navagation and voice command are flawless. Immediate response. I must warn you though, mine were always pretty quick.

Anyway, 2.11 is out.

Are you serious? LSHMSFOAIDMT. There's one in every crowd.

By the way LSHMSFOAIDMT stands for

Laughed So Hard My Sombrero Fell Off And I Dropped My Taco.

I'd run mine for 2 hours if I thought it would update and improve it. There's just no pleasing some people.


I also just looked at all your posts and your gradually turning into a HATER. Go somewhere else. Maybe to a JEEP dealership where you probably work. One thing I hate is a Jeep lover. Hehehe.

Wow..fabulous!!! I was just asking on FB yesterday if there was a date yet for this(she said not yet). We are going to NC in 25 days & I wanted to get my '11 in for a complete "check up" & upgrade before leaving. I hope it continues to receive high marks from you!!!

 

[donm527]

lol... i imagine the whole thing would be done while car ignition is on accessory/on position and engine wont need to be running and they are saying do not turn key to off position during update.

Sounds like Harry is still running v2.6

It could be that they want it running because they don't want it to go into battery saving mode while it is updating.
I know my X will do that after about 30 minutes or less when I'm playing the radio while I'm washing it.

 

[donm527]

thx... didnt know.

Koons Sterling Ford in VA said that they had it yesterday (didn't get a chance to post here). My father already has an appointment to get his updated.

I think I'm going to hold off on mine until the oil change comes around. It won't be that much longer before the first oil change and it hasn't been working as poorly as some others on here.

I just fell of the couch laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"GOOD NEWS!!!!"

Scheduled appointment for Friday 9:30am.

Service Writer said he did not know if that was a free update but I assured him it was.

He could not confirm that 2.11 was out but that should be determined here by Friday.

My system has not been all that bad but I have HUGE confidence that the attention needed was put into this update. Ford please don't let us down!

 

[gdecamp]

I have to wait till next Thursday they don't do it on Saturday's...appointment at 8am. Hope they have the process down pat by then.

Looking forward to some feedback!

The Corporate Communication Strategy at Ford is unbelievable.

They know how serious this issue is to their customers and look at the half assed approach.

We have Ford CSR and IVT telling us to wait it's coming.

We have members on this Forum with the software already installed.

Unbelievable!

NOW they are silent!
