How do I let Ford know my update is complete?

If using the USB process to complete your update, you will need to upload a file that was added to your USB drive during the install process to let Ford know the update has been successfully applied to your vehicle. If using the Wi-Fi update process (where available) or if your vehicle is equipped with SYNC 4/4A, your vehicle will automatically confirm the installation at the end of the update process and no action is required from you. If updates are installed by your Dealer they will complete the update confirmation. Click here for details.
