Several people have done it successfully on Mustangs and 150’s that I have read. I checked out the scripting, and the coding looks solid! Give it a try.
You guys ROCK!!
This here knucklehead followed the instructions LokiWolf listed earlier in this thread (post #176) and over on the Mustang/150's forums threads, with two minor modifications, and this afternoon I successfully updated my vers 2.2 non-nav Sync3 Expy Limited to vers 3.0. And I didn't "brick" it in the process of updating. Yay!
The only two modifications I made were: I used two USB thumb drives instead of one used twice (I used one USB drive for the prelim "fix" files, and then the second for the plain-vanilla vers 3.0 update files), plus I used the zip file found in the Mustang forum at
http://media.4rev4.com/wp-content/uploads/Sync3-MEM_ERR03-Fix.zip
instead of creating my own first-step edited "fix" files as described in the beginning of post #176. (I'm too much of an idiot to edit together the lines of code without goofing up something).
So I unzipped the downloaded file (at the link above), and wrote those files to my USB thumb drive #1, and kept the previously downloaded/unzipped vers 3.0 files from the owner.ford.com update procedure on my USB thumb drive #2.
Otherwise, I followed the steps in post #176.
Now after all this, upon reflection,... Did I really "need" to update my Sync3 from vers 2.2 to vers 3.0? Of course not. But I just "had" to do it since I was never successful updating from vers 2.2 to vers 2.3. I couldn't help myself.
Again, thanks to everybody here for the great info. I just don't think I could've waited for Ford to figure it out on their own,... if they ever do. Cheers!
