All Prior Advent Firmware Updates are included in this version. There is no need to upgrade to any version prior to this before using this firmware.

This is a maintenance update to address the following items:

• New Sync Release and Vehicle hardware changes in Production.
• No Sync Voice
• SWC controls not operating
• Navigation/More Icon not showing
• Volume decrease when Changing sources

• Several other changes were made based upon customer feedback:
• While in Reverse the Audio is no longer muted.
• A long press of the “♪” key on the radio controls will switch directly out of Nav.

6.13.16 Release Notes:

Added 2016 Model Year Selection, once updated click into Interface Setting / Others /Select Year Model.

Notes:

2012-2015 Ford SYNC2 vehicles have the AUX input which we utilize to input audio to factory system. In 2016 Ford SYNC2 vehicles removed the AUX function. Therefore, if you use old Firmware and do not select the 2016 in the interface setting every time you click HDMI, it will switch the source to AUX and not function.

All Firmware files are compressed to make it easier and faster to download. When you download this file to your computer you will need a program to uncompress the files. This is called “UNZIPPING”. There are many free programs to do this and your computer may have already come with a program built in to do this. If you require a program we recommend WINZIP.

WINZIP is free and can be downloaded here: http://www.winzip.com/downwz.htm Follow the instructions at the WinZip site for use of this utility. Please follow the instructions below for performing the update to your radio.

NOTE: YOU MUST LOAD THE NEW SOFTWARE ON A USB STICK. THE FIRMWARE YOU DOWNLOADED IS SPECIFIC TO THE MODEL PRODUCT YOU HAVE SELECTED.

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE BASED UPON USING A WINDOWS BASED OPERATING COMPUTER. APPLE USERS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT STEPS NEEDED. WE RECOMMEND USING A PC FOR DOWNLOADING, FORMATTING OF THE USB, AND UNZIPPING THE FILES ARE THE NAV SYSTEMS RUN ON A WINDOWS BASED OPERATING SYSTEM.

To update the firmware:

You need a USB Memory stick with 2gb or greater of memory; this can be purchased at any office supply store. Insert the USB stick your computer. Follow the directions carefully.

When you first place the USB stick into your computer and it asks “DO YOU WANT TO FORMAT THIS DEVICE?” select yes. This insures the stick has nothing else on it.

Unzip the file you downloaded and copy all files to the USB Stick

Insert the updated USB Stick into the Navigation USB Jack. The Vehicle factory USB jack will not work.

Wait until the radio reboots completely and the Radio Screen comes up; do not stop the update,

If after the update the screen controls in the Nav system do not respond to the correct position when pressing on the screen follow the below steps to re-calibrate the screen. This MUST be done when in the Nav mode.

Press on the screen where the yellow cross is located to access the calibration screen. Follow instructions on the screen to complete calibration.

Press the Screen and hold for 5 seconds Press on the Cross on the screen.
