I have to take my truck in to have the APIM module replaced and not sure if it was the reason I could not get sync or Nav to update vis usb. Would anyone please go through the instructions for USB download for me and maybe I'm missing a step
1. Download sync or nav update to PC
2. Copy to USB drive it shows 3 files sync my ride and 2 others
Do I have to do anything to these files after copy to USB?
In both cases when I load usb it does nothing
I have used multiple usb with more than enough storage and they are formatted to exfat
Once APIM is replaced with your input maybe I can get these updated
Thanks in advance

Just a guess plug USB DRIVE into PC and download directly to it. Possibility that file key is linked to drive downloaded to id number as a copyright protection.

If the files are zip files try unzipping them.

The file is corrupted. I was at the dealer yesterday and it came up corrupted for them too. I downloaded it again this morning and it's still bad.

I have the same issue with the file being corrupted. I cannot unzip them. I was able to unzip the files a month ago but not able to load them in my truck. This has been a issue for me with corrupted download from Ford for a month now.

Extract it to the root directory of the USB stick.

It should absolutely NOT be that hard. Some one at Ford declared themselves to be a computer guru, when, in reality, they have trouble with a calculator. Probably a nephew of an exec who still longs for the good old days.
They need a rectal craniotomy. (Head removed from ass.)
