ford website isn't very intuitive for this stuff..

my 2016 limited i bought used, is still running ver 1.0 . i would like to update it to include the android auto. enabled auto updated and wifi connected at the house. automatic updates don't seem to be doing anything. if i click to manually update "mobile apps" the screen just spins until i cancel.

i read that i can update via usb but can't find the file . anybody good with this stuff?

i did.. never worked. i assume the never ending "updating" icon was the large download never finishing, and i wasn't going to let my car sit running for hours in the driveway.

i found out how to download to a usb flash and updated that way.
the whole process took 45 minutes in the car while i drove home from work. Android Auto is AWESOME!!

the ford website, instruction, and feedback from the car during process itself sucks. but thanks for commenting.
