Not sure if this would help. (From Ford Owners)

After a lot of searching, reading and translating, I came across direct links to Ford servers hosting the official EU upgrade files for Sync 2. No need to sign up to the Ford India website, just download, extract to the root of a FAT32 formatted USB stick and away you go.

I did use the Ford India website to determine which language pack matches to my VIN for use in the UK. It shouldn’t really matter as all EU language packs include British English, but I get a bit OCD so wanted to know which one Ford would use. That turned out to be Language Pack 5.

I have read that you may need a minimum of the F4 SD card or newer, however everyone with Sync 2 in the EU should have F4 following the recall (if you have Nav fitted).

Feb 03, 2017  So the maps are on the SD card. The upgrades for the SYNC are separate, and as per he links that Kenny kindly posted yesterday. I am now trying to find out what version of Maps i have as i’ve located multiple Ford OE 2016 SD Map SD cards but want to ensure that they are not the same version as i have as my FRS was a July 2016 build. The navigation map upgrade for SYNC 3 systems is accomplished with a Universal Serial Bus (USB) drive. The USB drive will need to contain the map data along with the Map License file; both of these files are required to complete the update. The USB drive required to perform map updates can be ordered from the Ford Electronic Service Group on the PTS OASIS Home page on-line 1878 form.

Here is the full list of the Oct 15 update, if you are not from the UK, but another EU country, you need to make sure you download the correct language pack to include the language you want to be able to speak (and have spoken) to the car in:

Updating your map maximizes your driver-centric navigation experience, helping you get the most from your system. To find your map update, enter the model and year of your Ford vehicle into the menu at the top of the page. Each product page details the map coverage area, highlights new road data, and provides clear installation instructions. Jan 29, 2018  So no map updates available from HERE. I have already checked the Lincoln owners site and no map updates are available. So in order to check if the SYNC3 update to v2.3 is large enough to include map updates, I did the SYNC3 v2.3 download to my computer, it is a ZIP file of 1.68 gigs.

Once you have downloaded and extracted the zip to the root of a USB drive (min 2GB formatted as FAT32), you need to remove all other USB sticks/devices from the ports on the car (Nav SD can be left in), then start the engine and turn off auto/stop start. Plug the USB in and it should auto detect the update files, then just follow the on screen instructions. You need to give yourself at least 30 mins for the update to install, in that time you can drive the car, but remember that anything normally displayed on the screen will not be available (rear view cam, sensor distance, etc.).
