Every time I tried to scan for an update it either:
- Just stops with no message
- Thinks for a long time and then advises “previous scan was incomplete, last scan 07/12/2017”
- Briefly scans and then gives the same message as above.

I’ve tried both the home wifi and tethered from various phones.
I’ve also successfully completed a USB update for a 2017 Everest Trend on the weekend just gone.

It’s all working fine, I’d just like it if the Ford site was correct too.
Maybe a reset?

I'm in the same boat Dave.
Since installing Sync 3 in March & updating to V3.0 build 18093 via USB, mine hasn't seemed to connect to the server via wifi correctly. No matter how many times I check via wifi it says "last checked for updates: 02/03/2019" ....interestingly the day after my Sync3 install. Ford Owners site doesn't accept the .xml update confirmation file either, generated from the USB update. Says "Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again"
Hoping that the pre MY18.5 Sync3 units will one day move past Build 18093 and wifi will pick this up. In turn that will report back to the Ford owners site that we're running both Sync 3 & the updated version. (is v3.0 build 18261 or 19119 a thing for us pre MY18.5 people?) <saw these mentioned on other forums.
If so, i wonder if this will end up being available via wifi
A request to anyone that is running v3.0, build 18093, and Ford Owners is saying you're up to date, when it does say there is an update, can you give us the heads up?
Cheers,
Russell.

Something went wrong. Please try again" error. ie: You're in the Sync3 donor cars listing, but trying to upload the .xml with your own VIN.
Editing the .xml file back to the donor car's VIN, and it'll accept it. Accepted the build 18093 & 19205 .xml files after doing this.
Doesn't help have your car report it's got Sync3, but at least I'll be able to see when an update is available i guess.

Does reporting the update for a VIN 'donor' car prevent that owner from being able to do updates themselves, as Fords systems will think the car has already been updated?

I am in the UK with a 2016 manual Wildtrak. Normal cruise control + front parking sensors.
I upgraded to the Sync3 today but I have one problem. The reverse camera does not come on when put into reverse.
I believe the Sync3 unit I got was from an auto and my truck is a manual.

Does anybody know what I need to change in forscan to get the camera to work?
