First of all, you must download the free software from the aforementioned website and save it on your computer. Transfer it on a USB flash drive and then connect it to your vehicle. Upload the file via the USB port and proceed to the installation - notice that the vehicle must be running and the users will receive two messages: one of them after about 60 seconds and the other one 5 to 10 minutes later. One the installation is completed, unplug the USB stick, plug it in the USB port of the computer and visit the website again. Log in into the SYNC account and activate the application.
However, please notice that the upgrade is only available for 2010 Ford Mustang, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Lincoln MKZ, and Mercury Milan and Milan Hybrid vehicles equipped with Ford SYNC.
