Identifying Your Vehicle's SYNC Generation

Use the following resources to help identify your SYNC generation:

  • The SYNC and Navigation Updates page allows you to enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), or log in with your Lincoln credentials and select Check for update. Your SYNC generation will appear on the right-hand side of the page.

    Note: The SYNC software update version displayed under "Current Software Version" is the latest one reported to Lincoln. We recommend using your in-vehicle SYNC system to see your system's current software version.
