We are now rolling out Ford Power-Up 4 and 5 software updates to our customers in Europe. Details of these can be found later in this post.
Please read this first
To ensure a smooth delivery of these updates we strongly recommend:
The following is also very important to ensure undisrupted delivery:
We deploy updates, when they become available, in batches across a period of time. The vehicles selected for each batch will be chosen at random, so please don’t worry if you see someone online receive an update before you do, we haven’t forgotten you! It may take a few weeks for your updates to start arriving and there may also be a few weeks or more between each update. Your car will need to be driven regularly in order to receive all of the updates, if you are away on your holidays or business without your car it’ll be alright and the updates will resume once you are back home and on the road again.
With the many factors involved in deploying software updates to a vehicle, in a small number of cases, it may take more than one attempt to successfully deploy an update. If you do happen to receive an unsuccessful update please don’t panic, we will manage these situations remotely and ensure re-deployment happens, you won’t need to do anything.
Ford Power-Up Software Update 4 & 5 Summary
Please note: Different vehicles and different model years may receive different updates due to different SYNC 4 systems and different vehicle content.
Many updates are background updates. You will not notice any difference in your vehicle following these particular updates.

Ford Power-Up Software Update 4 & 5 Details
For easier reading, I’m excluding background updates and am only providing details of software updates with notable driver content.
See summary above for applicable vehicles for each Ford Power-Up
Ford Power-Up 4.2.2.1
Ford Power-Up 4.2.2.1 brings several significant updates to SYNC:
Please note: As this is a major update to SYNC, you may find a small number of settings reverting to default. These may include your drive modes and automatic folding mirrors. I would recommend that after this update, you check that these settings are as you require them.

Depends on your car model.
Focus MY22.50 had it’s latest release in december 2023. Version 4.2.4
MY23.25 are a bit unclear. Rob has not updated the info text but some owners
have reported recieving 4.2.2 and 4.2.4.
Mach-e is totally different matter. They have had a lot of releases this year.
Especially MY21 and MY22, to get them upto speed with +MY23 features.
Mach-e uses SYNC 4a and is on a different branch than the Focus with SYNC 4.
There are also Bronco, Transit the new Puma and new Kuga which I guess uses
the ”same” SYNC 4 as Focus. Transit hasn’t gotten a release in almost a year.
The others are newer models with a later version than Focus. This is the version
we are all waiting for. Supposedly fixes the bugs we are having.
Unless there are some hardware limitation or problem in Focus.
Regarding downloadable updates..
The whole point of SYNC 4 is to get OTA updates as they are released.
Here the problem is Ford. If they would have done their job we would have
had new updates all the time. Just like your mobile phone.
There are so many tweaks they could have done to improve SYNC but they
do almost nothing.

My MY 23.25 hasn't had 2.2.2 or 2.2.4. Ive switched off auto updates but it doesn't show any updates outstanding. Sync is generally working OK.

Same here! I own a MY 23.25 too. My last update was installed on 24 January and that was the Ford Power-Up 23-PU2001-PR-FX. I also disabled automatic updates but I am following this forum and others because I am curious about any updates.
The only bug I experienced so far is the fact that the volume change of announcements is not saved.
