WattsUp said:You are correct:Fraggle said:Actually WattsUp, you are incorrect partially here. The 2016 Focus Electric with Sync 3 DOES connect to a WiFi network and IS able to download updates to the Sync system over it.

"Sync 3" appears to be replacement for "Sync with MyFord Touch" (or what all refer to as "MFT") and runs the infotainment system in the 2016 and later FFEs.
I still maintain that the Sync 3 software really has nothing to do with "the car". It only runs the infotainment system, which can be completely powered-down (fuse pulled) and car would still drive normally. But, the ability to update over wi-fi is a nice improvement over the old USB/SD system.
Question remains, is the wi-fi connection used only by the Sync 3 infotainment system, or is it also used by the telematics unit for control over remote start, remote locking, retrieving car status, etc.. I would not be surprised if telemetry is still only carried by the modem. The other car systems really have nothing to do with Sync (or MFT).
What Lincolns? Lincoln doesn't make any EVs...Pearl said:scottt said:So, when is Ford going to upgrade our 2G modems????
The Service Manager at the local dealer says they've begun replacing the Lincolns first, then the Fords.
That's not an EV, that's a hybrid. Hybrids do not have a 2G modem for MyFord Mobile. Only the PHEVs do. Lincoln doesn't make any PHEVs or BEVs.Pearl said:http://www.lincoln.com/cars/mkz/
MKZ Hybrid

scottt said:Update: just contacted Ford again, and gave them the FSA for Lincoln. They stated that it will extend to the Fords in Dec. I just went from miffed to pissed.
