Yup, but it's not there so far.
At least not for me.

I cant find a link to download the file.
I tried looking it up and it is telling me I don't need an update. Maybe because I have a '22 model?

That is possible. I don't know the number of the new update yet.

Did you try clicking the link I posted in #5?
The link in number #5 looks like you copied it after you logged in and entered your VIN number? Is that you VIN at the end of the link which would make it vehicle specific.

When I click on it with my phone, no VIn comes up. I would think that would be the same for everyone else.

I logged into Ford site and apparently I do not need an update.

What's your map version?

The new one is NA 2 21.

It took me about 60 minutes but I did it without turning the engine on. It went to sleep about 30 minutes in but I just turned ACC back on and it must have resumed. I did hook it up to a lowly battery charger but the voltage still was creeping downward.

I have NA 2 2.0.
Did you just do the "Check for Software Update" in the car and let it go?

No, I never do that in the car and have automatic updates unchecked also because I don't want my car losing power sitting in my garage.

Try:
https://syncnavigation.com/ford/home

Another explanation is that maybe it's a rolling download so their servers don't get slammed.

Yep, that is the website I went to that stated "invalid model year".

Unfortunately, if it doesn't validate your VIN, you can't download. There is even a license file which I believe is tied to your VIN. I would recommend you use the Ford Support link and open a chat to ask why your VIN doesn't work.
