2016 F-150/Edge/MKX Vehicles – SYNC 3 Software Version Differences Starting 3rd Quarter 2016
Some 2016 F-150, Edge and MKX vehicles with SYNC 3 built beginning 3rd quarter 2016 may have software that might present the customers with some new characteristics such as:
- Different display background
- Different sounding SYNC 3 voice prompts
- maybe equipped with Android Auto.
This is an intentional change and no module should be condemned because of these differences.
Flashing a module to a different software level due to this difference is not available nor is it supported.
Refer to the Owners Guide for the vehicle in question to understand the proper operation and functionality of the SYNC 3 system features.
The SYNC version can be found in the Settings menu under General then About if needed for comparison of a like module.
Also, the SYNC version can be confirmed via OASIS.

Software necessary to program electronic modules to the latest calibration level, perform module initialization (PATS), and set Programmable Parameters on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.
Ford Module Programming (FMP) is a software application that allows subscribers to program electronic modules on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. It can be used for:
- Reprogramming emission-related (OBDII) modules on some vehicles manufactured in 1995 and all vehicles manufactured from 1996 to the present
- Reprogramming or reconfiguring non-emission-related modules on many vehicles (UBP and MS-CAN not supported)
In addition, module initialization (PATS) functions such as Keycode Erase/Reprogram and PCM Parameter Reset can be done using this application.
