Or ever? About a year ago, after a failed auto update, my system quit working properly. Neither me nor the dealer was able to update it with a USB. Eventually I got a new APIM on warranty, and the dealer updated the Sync 3 to version 3.0. I didn't reconnect the system to Wi-Fi after that. I thought the failed update bricked the system, the dealer thought it exposed an existing defect in the system, which was somewhat of a chicken-and-egg question. Because of that, I've been reluctant to turn Wi-Fi back on and connect the system to it. I'm guessing the chances of a successful Wi-Fi update are about the same as those of capturing Bigfoot.
However, eventually I will need to update again, and I'm just wondering whether it would make any sense to turn it back on and connect it to my house Wi-Fi see if they've actually figured out how to get the auto updating to work. It was a nice idea, but the execution was a miserable failure.
My car was new 8/16, I initially had it connected to Wi-Fi and set to auto update over Wi-Fi. In the first year, it started the process a couple times. It would get up to about 30% on a progress bar over a couple days, and then never finish. Finally, after another failed auto update, I got an error message that said something like bad installation file. At that point my voice recognition quit working, and I started the process described above that eventually led to the warranty replacement of the Sync 3 module, the APIM.
