Well it looks like they are pushing it to the Taurus/MKS/MKT/MKX/Edge/Explorer and Flex first so the announcement isn't that helpful yet, they claimed to have resolved the following issues:
"Customers with the above referenced vehicles may experience the following concerns with their MyFord
Touch / MyLincoln Touch technology. The MyFord Touch / MyLincoln Touch Software Release v3.2 will address the following conditions and provide all previous performance upgrade enhancements:
*Missing radio preset text
*Radio stays on key off after opening the door
*Voice recognition inoperative - pressing the push to talk button on the steering wheel does not initiate audio prompt "please say a command"; only Listening icon is displayed
*Sirius travel link fuel prices show as unsubscribed when it is subscribed"
The bad news is they say "NOTE: The 2012 Focus and 2013 Escape are not a part of this TSB notification. The new software is still
undergoing testing and available updates will be subject of a future announcement."
This is per TSB 12-9-1. So it should be available soon, I believe the software is already available to the dealers, but they aren't supposed to put it on a Focus or Escape yet, but if its the same software why the hell not?
It was just announced on the SMR forums that this update has actually been pulled off the site and that anyone who has downloaded it to their USB but hasn't installed it shouldn't install it.
I'm guessing the whole climate control thing where the inputs don't show up on the MFT screen although they DO adjust your climate settings is something that may be happening on all models, and not just the Focus... this is leading me to believe that it IS the exact same update version across all vehicles, but again, I'm not for sure on that point as I don't own any of the models listed for the update and don't know anyone who does.
For those of you that did install the 3.2 software between the dates of September 7th and 10th, please be advised that it was released prematurely, but we don’t anticipate there being any issues with the software. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our In-Vehicle Technology team at 800-392-3673 (option 1 then 3) for additional assistance.
I was wondering the same thing - I'm assuming build 12156 means the June 15, 2012 time stamp. That said, I've already tried messing around to see if there was anything sooner, but I got nothing. It might also not be V3.2.2? It might be V3.2.3 on a random July date.
...or it's the same software and build number and they just left a file out or something.
Who knows, I probably won't install it if climate doesn't work...
EDIT: Not that I EVER use the climate quarter of the touchscreen. I just don't want to have to explain it to someone else.
While I am happy to see an update to mft is coming... when will they roll out applink for the focus? Ford is on record saying it is coming.... but it doesn't appear like that is now. [sadpanda]

set up account in syncmyride.com and put in your VIN and it tells you what updates were flashed. If you order a car you can get the VIN before you receive the car.
Is it just me, or does this sound like 3.5.1 which came out last month? That update is still not available on Sync My Ride so maybe they will make it public on December 10th?
The software discussed in the article is version 3.5 and is exclusive to vehicles equipped with MyFord Touch. Most of you already have this installed, but for those that don't, the update will soon be available on SyncMyRide as a self-install.
Please note, if your vehicle's equipped with navigation, it will require the new SD card (A4) to function. You can see your dealership for this now, otherwise, starting in early January, you'll be able to order the card via www.SyncMyRide.com.
As a way of reinforcing our commitment to you, we're extending the warranty for MyFord Touch software and the SYNC module to a total of five years/unlimited mileage for 2011, 2012 and 2013 models of MyFord Touch-equipped vehicles.

Jaclyn, do you have any insight into the upcoming SMR release vs. 3.5.1 in the TSB - can we expect any tweaks? I have 3.5.1 on my thumb-drive but don't want to install if there might be changes when the "official" self install is released. Thanks.
Just wanted to add that my 5/7/12 build FF Ti HB has had no issues with MFT or DCT. I do look forward to any and all improvement, but I've been a happy customer from day one.
Streamlining some of the commands sounds great and I'll have to see if the Nav commands are easier and more intuitive -- the one issue I've had is the somewhat cumbersome way of selecting destination via voice commands...

The software currently available at the dealership is uniform to what will be released on SyncMyRide. Please note, we don't recommend installing the software from any source expect for a certified dealer.
