Official Update for Ford Sync 3 1.0/1.1/2.0 -> 2.2
Apple CarPlay WILL NOTwork with existing hardware and requires upgraded USB Interface.
I used a FAT32 formatted 2GB USB Drive to load installation files (Non-WiFi Update)
Vehicle Engine should be running for entire update to maintain battery during installation or connected to a battery charger/maintainer
