Hey guys and gals,

I was just stopping by to let you know that V4.4 is now showing up as being available for many of the VINs that were reported to me. It looks like you beat me to it!

Please let me know if you're still not seeing it on your SYNC account at: Owner.Ford.com

Just updated mine. Install went smooth, but went for a drive not long after and check engine light comes on. I'm thinking it's just a coincidence but definitely weird. Gonna get checked out tomorrow

Also could not run a vehicle health report. Phone would call, then car would say cannot send report at this time.

Neither of those things has anything to do with the update.

What's included in this update?
DL3T-14D544-AE SYNC v4.4
Bluetooth© Connectivity Improvements:
• Enhanced Bluetooth phone connection stability
• Enabled track information to be displayed for Bluetooth-streamed media including metadata such as song title, artist name and album title
• More robust Message Access Profile (MAP) functionality to handle SMS reception and Text2Speach output
Media Connectivity Improvements:
• Improved media connectivity for USB-equipped Apple devices, as well as streamlined device initialization and authentication process
• Previous USB or Bluetooth media source playback now resumed after ignition cycle
AppLink Functionality Improvements:
• Better AppLink customer experience with more robust features and reliable functionality
2010-2013 Basic SYNC and SYNC with MyFord (without Voice-Activated Navigation)

The v4.4 software update will add AppLink, in addition to improved quality updates, for 2010-2013 model year customers without Voice-Activated Navigation (who do not already have AppLink).

2010-2014 SYNC with Voice-Activated Navigation
This software will provide improved quality updates only for 2010-2014 model year customers who have Voice-Activated Navigation.

I don't see AppLink on my 2011 either. Kim, can you please confirm this was a feature not included in the 4.4 update for 2011 Mustangs? I suppose what this means is that this isn't the infamous update that'll bring AppLink to 4.4M in market vehicles (announced last year)?

This happened to me also. I had to drive to better cell data coverage and it worked no problem.

Hi Kim,

well, update was successful, but now the last selected source always falls to line in.

With 3.1 in my car it always used the last used source.... which was great... wasn't this update supposed to fix that instead to introduce this to my vehicle now ?

Yay! Thanks for keeping me in loop, Cdvision and 88lx50. I’m glad the update went smoothly.

Were you able to run a Vehicle Health Report prior to updating? If so, then we know the information on your SYNC account is already correct. Have you tried performing a master reset since V4.4 was installed? Let me know if you have the basic system or SYNC with navigation. I’ll provide a link to the instructions.

Try performing a master reset by following these steps: http://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-t...ter-reset.html
Which type of phone are you connecting?

Do you have basic SYNC or SYNC with navigation, solscooter? Also, which type of phone are you using with it?

Hi HizliBullet,

You are correct; AppLink is not currently available in Canada even if V4.4 is installed.
