This upgrade includes a feature to invoke Siri by holding down the 'voice command' button on your steering wheel for 3 seconds. Unfortunately, it only works for Flex years 2011 and newer. Mine is 2010, which means the ability to invoke Siri via the iPhone home button is disabled when connected to Sync.
Although many (including ford officials and dealers) have claimed downgrading to Sync 4.4 is impossible, there are records of some individuals online claiming it is possible. The process is simple and seems to work for them: perform a Master Reset, then install their old version of 4.4 via the thumb drive.
Unfortunately, this hasn't worked for me. But, I think it's because I may have 4.4 files that don't work with my Flex. I recently purchased my 2010 Flex SEL used and upgraded directly to Sync 4.6, so I don't have any previous version install files.

Many thanks,
