Being computer illiterate I am a bit concerned about dealing with an update for the SYNC 3 system. I have had a quick look and I need a 2.9 GB flash drive.

Has anyone managed an update and was it difficult?
Is it quite literally a case of downloading it onto the flash drive and then plug it into an USB slot on the car?
Any help would be gratefully received as my dealer is over 30 miles away and I would prefwer not to have to make the trip..

You'll need to reformat a USB, probably to FAT32, then stick the file on there, and then plug in as you said.

I need to do it myself, just haven't got round to it yet.

The thing I find odd, is if I check the sync version through the car, it says it's upto date, but if I go in through the website, and throw the VIN in, it says it's not!

How hard can it be to have a bit of continuity!

I have updated mine with no issues just follow the instructions on the web page. I just stuck mine in and let it update as I was driving to work with no issues
