EDIT: YEAH! Success! The instructions do leave a little to be desired. SYNC Update complete, got the XML file, but can not upload it. Anyone have a work-around for uploading the XML file?

I now have map version NA 2 21.
I used to be pretty computer savvy, but this has me baffled. I thought I followed the directions, downloaded everything it to download. What am I missing to get the SYNC update files?
EDIT: Apparently it did update the maps to NA 2 21 from NA 2 20. Still nothing on the actual SYNC update!

I tried the update a couple of times today. The first couple attempts, either nothing happened or I'd get an error...
EDIT #2: SUCCESS! I did not realize there was an SYNC update file AND a map update file. The instructions could have been a bit more clear, but I now have the new SYNC version. So far everything seems to be working like it should. I did get an XML file, but Ford's web site won't accept the...
I must have some corrupt files or something. I've turned the engine off & opened and closed the door a half dozen times. The old version number still continues to show the next time I check.
I tried the Cyan Lab thing and it just kept crashing every time I launched the program, so that...
Apparanty you can do these updates using your home WIFI with the vehicle sitting in the driveway? I hit the "check for updates" button today and the the little circles on the screen started spinning. I left the ignition on for an hour or so. I checked several times during that hour, and the...
Installed the Ford tailgate protector, DeeZee tailgate damper, stubby antenna, and Redline Tuning hood struts.
I think all that is left is to put the plugs in the rocker panels and I think I've reached the end of the add ons.
It was a good USP and USPS day. UPS dropped off the Ford tailgate cover. USPS left a stubby antenna, a bag full of rubber plugs to cover the holes in the rocker panels, and wait for it...........................
the DeeZee Tailgate Damper!
I purchased a mat from Leo's Dash Covers It fits pretty good. I just have it sitting on the dash as I do like using the sticky back velcro. So far it has stayed in place well.
It does pucker up a bit in front of the switches, but doesn't interfere with them.
If I were to order again, I would...
I've not taken the Ranger out since I did the install, so you may be correct.....however, the manual says it will still work.
If the trailer is actually a bike rack or
cargo rack with electrical lighting, enter a
length of 3 ft (1 m). Cross Traffic Alert
remains on for trailers with a length of...
There's no secret to it.
Simple 4 wire connection. I had a 4 prong trailer plug extension in my collection. I cut it in half and soldered the male end (three exposed prongs)to the light bar wires (after I installed it on the plastic bumper cover, the plug won't fit through hole that you have to...
You are correct. I was hoping that there was hardware available to bolt the Ford parts to the fender and to the hood, but after visiting with Benny at Levittown Ford, the OEM kit that he has put together will not work for those of us that are missing the fender brackets and the nut in the hood...
Finally worked up the nerve to pop the mirror skull caps off and install the sequential signals. I opted to stay with the clear lens. Awesome upgrade!
It seems there is no end to adding stuff. This forum is an expensive place to hang out. :)
Questions for you guys that have the OEM hood struts. I was going to order a kit with the OEM parts from the supporting vendor but figured I had better take a good hard look at my Ranger before I finalized the purchase. If I understood him correctly, the upper ball stud threads into the hood...
