How do I report a successful SYNC®* installation?

You can report a completed SYNC update on the SYNC software update website. You'll need to use your computer and the USB drive you performed the update with.

Note: If you have not yet performed a SYNC update, refer to How do I install SYNC updates using a USB or Wi-Fi for the steps.

Reporting a Successful SYNC Update

To record a successful SYNC software update:

  1. Insert the flash drive, also known as a USB or thumb drive, you used for the update into your computer.
  2. Go to the SYNC and Navigation Updates page.
  3. Scroll down to "Step Three: Confirm Update" on the SYNC software update page.
  4. Click on Browse for log file.
  5. Browse the flash drive you used to update your SYNC system.

  6. Select the XML log file in the "SYNCMyRide" folder.

    Note: An example of the file you will upload is "sync_48474463_1A2B3C4D5E6F8G8H9.xml." Your file name will differ because it will contain your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
