How do I perform a software update on my Ford Maverick radio?

You can update your Connected Touch Radio* using the Settings menu.

Important: 

  • Your vehicle must be parked and running, and in an open location (e.g., free of overhead foliage, ceilings, etc.). 
  • Instructions may vary. See your Owner’s Manual for information specific to your vehicle.

To update the radio in your Ford Maverick:

  1. Press the Settings button on your vehicle's radio screen. 
  2. Swipe to the right and tap the Wi-Fi button.
  3. Use the System Wi-Fi toggle to enable Wi-Fi.
  4. Tap View available networks.
  5. Select your Wi-Fi network.
  6. Enter your Wi-Fi password to connect to your Wi-Fi network.
  7. Press the Settings button once connected.
  8. Tap Automatic updates. 
  9. Toggle the Automatic system updates on.
  10. Select Scan for updates now to trigger a software update. Wait while the system is checking for an update. There will be a circular animation.
    • If there is no software update available, the system will show when it last checked for updates.
    • If there is a software update available, the system will automatically show a progress bar indicating the status of the software download.

After installation is finished, it will take a few ignition cycles for the software to be updated. There will be a temporary message on the top bar stating “Update installation complete” when it is done.

Note: The approximate time for an update is 10-20 minutes, depending on connection bandwidth.

*Don’t drive while distracted or while using handheld devices. Some features may be locked out while the vehicle is in gear.
