New SYNC version is Available

Updated mine yesterday via USB ... no problems at all with the download or install. Just takes time. (I did the maps a few weeks ago.)
I have found the last couple of OS installs look to be a two step affair, and the USB needs to remain in place until you get the screen that tells you to remove it. In other words, the first phase takes around 40 minutes or so, and at the end mine did a reboot plus a notification to do a key/power cycle. After that was complete, it starts the "Updating System Software" again for a few minutes, then pops up the "You can now remove the USB..." notification. If you take the USB out after the first reboot, thinking it's done, it actually starts all over again. Don't ask how I know this ...
The only thing "new" or different I might have seen was a green phone on the upper right corner when I was on a phone call. That may not be new ... but I don't remember seeing it before!! Certainly seems a bit snappier as well.

I am on 3.4 in my January build 2022, and when i check from sync inside the Explorer while connected to me home wifi it says my software is up to date.
It also says there are no updates available for Sync or the Nav Map when I go online and enter my VIN to check. My Map version is NA 2 20.
Update: Just checked again online on my ford account and it says Sync update is available but when i check in the car it was it is up to date. I have confirmed the Explorer is connected to my home internet.
Still says no Map update available.

Yeah i saw that in this post, which is why i was checking mine.
Its like it wants me to do it via USB but id rather just do it over wifi, less chance i don't unzip something incorrectly or something and brick my infotainment system. This thing is already slow and laggy. I feel like any mistake can send it into self destruct mode. lol

It says you can update over wifi but when i check it that way it says 3.4 is the most up to date one. Maybe it just needs some time, i'll check it tomorrow i guess.
I have fast wifi even in my garage and i confirmed the Explorer was connected to it and using data when it said it was checking for updates.
