How to update the software in your Ford vehicle

Does Ford vehicle technology offer over-the-air updates? 

Ford vehicle technology does offer over-the-air updates. Below, you can read a guide by Sherwood Ford of Sherwood Park, AB, on how to update the software in your Ford vehicle. We offer the latest Ford vehicles and automotive innovations. 



Video guide to receiving automatic updates for Ford software 

Every software update is different. Some require your agreement, while others can be automatically downloaded while driving. Watch this video to understand automatic updates for your Ford technologies. 

Set a recurring schedule for your Ford vehicle software updates 

To keep your Ford vehicle updated with the latest software, schedule recurring updates for your Ford vehicle. Choose a time when you don’t need to be driving, like overnight, since some updates won’t be able to download while you’re driving. Here’s how to set a recurring schedule, as shown in the video above: 

  • Press the control button on your vehicle’s infotainment system 
  • Navigate to Software Updates 
  • Press Recurring Update Schedule 
  • Choose your preferred time and day 

How do I know if my vehicle has had a recent software update? 

If you set recurring updates, you may wonder how you’ll know when one has occurred. The next time you start your vehicle, a message will appear letting you know that a software update was successful. You can click the Details button for more information. The system will also let you know if an update wa unsuccessful, so you’re always kept informed. 

Find a vehicle with automatic updates at Sherwood Ford 

If your current vehicle has a slow display system or buggy technology, it could be time for an upgrade. Visit our dealership if you’re in the Edmonton area, and we’ll help you find a new set of wheels.
