How do I report a successful SYNC installation?

You can report a completed SYNC®* update on the SYNC software update website. You need to use your computer and the USB drive you performed the update with.

To record a successful SYNC software update:

  1. Insert the flash drive, also known as a USB or thumb drive, you used for the update into your computer.
  2. Go to the SYNC software update page.
  3. Scroll down to Step Three: Confirm Update on the SYNC software update page.
  4. Click on Browse for log file.
  5. Select the XML log file in the SYNCMyRide folder on your flash drive.

    Note: An example of the file you will upload is "sync_48474463_1A2B3C4D5E6F8G8H9.xml." Your filename will differ because it will contain your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). 

If you still require assistance, contact the Customer Relationship Center by calling 1-800-392-3673 or selecting our Live Chat option.

Note: If you have not yet performed a SYNC update, refer to the How do I install SYNC updates using a USB or Wi-Fi? topic for the steps.
