This worked perfectly on my 2013 ford escape titanium! It did just as what was displayed in the video. After following the steps in this video, my screen is working again!
Glad it helped you out!
thank you for your time you spent almost half hour in professional way educated happy ford owners to upgrade the sync firmware.
Thank you for the kind words👍
thanks for the video. I was a little hasty when the screen went blank for nearly a minute after reboot, not giving the system time to continue the install. FYI - an alternative to climbing into the fuse box, pull the battery terminal for a few seconds.
You're right about pulling the battery terminal, but.when you do that you also reset all electronics in the car so it's quicker and easier to pull the fuse than reset everything and have all the pcm learned parameters reset too
Awesome best informative video thank you very much
Glad it helped you out 👍
Looks like a fairly simple process. You need to do an update video to let us know if the update fixed the problem permanently.
Thanks, will do!
I recently bought a 2017 ford festiva and it has the synch badging but the screen isn't a large touch screen like in your video or in the manual that came with the car. When I hit the phone button down below it does nothing. Will the reset method work?
What do I do if the screen keeps saying that one or more of my files were downloaded successfully? I have tried to reinstall them on the flash drive twice but nothing is changing
Please do a wifi connection and hot spot connect to the 2013 Ford Escape. Thank you for this video, any recommendations on the flash drive?
You can use pretty much any flash drive out there as long as it's bigger than 8Gb. For the wifi/hotspot what would you like to see?

Hey I was wondering if you would still have the sync 3.7 files you could share? I messed up my installation a while back, it didn't install correctly so I'd like to reinstall version 3.7 and then do the newest update after.
Humm...... I'd have to take a look back to see if I still have them. Doubtful though. You can create a my Ford account, add your vin and it'll give you whatever updates are available for your car.
@@JrZCarZ the update they have is the same one I tried installing in my truck but it didn't install correctly. I was hoping to get an older version to install and then do the newest update again to see if it would fix the issues I'm having
Would it be safe to assume that the media hub is broken if it doesn’t recognize my navigation sd card or the usb with Sync update?
That's a good possibility..... That or someone was messing around with the back of the radio and unplugged things or there may be another fuse that's blown.
Did the reset and touchscreen is still not working:( Figured I should still do the update but I can't touch the OK on the screen to accept the update...any work around?
You may be able to use the steering wheel controls to navigate to OK.
I have an issue with my sync 3.
I've tried to update to newer version and and it was more than 3 hours updating ..i had to go ,because it was more time than expected and i unplug the USB before finishing.On the next day the screen was okay.. showing that Update Successefully installed ,then turned off and never turned on...The USB is not working anymore..i tried to remove the fuse 67 ,,power button with >>,the + from the battery,nothing works...The radio works,,i just cannot change the stations,Wi-FI works as well,during the night the screen is not completle black there is a light behind...
Obviously there was an issue installing properly..my question is it possible to update from computer somehow ,if USB is not working.... or what how to solve this issue?
I believe there was a way of doing the update over WiFi as well if you connected the radio to a home WiFi. It's been a while though so I don't remember the prices of the top of my head
What if I didn't do the xml part. Is there a way to re install the update to get another one
The xml is how they package the update
I was doing it and then it said that one or more files failed to install what should I do?
Have you tried to reinstall it again.
Delete the .zip file from your thumb drive. Then try again, no need to reinstall.
