Update all versions of Ford Sync 3 to the latest Sync 3.4

[ETC13]

Fair.

Ok. Anyone with a black label that updated to 3.4 have their BL screen change to the ‘navigator’ screen?

Anyone experience any changes to their black splash with the 3.4 update?

3.4, 3.4.

3.4

Shoot. I forgot one more change. Do these two things.

APIM

7D0-01-02 8*** xxxx xxxx

7D0-03-01 xxxx x3xx xxxx

This should only change the theme to the dark, but keep the Ford boot up splash screen. Your shutdown screen with be a generic Lincoln screen due to changing the theme to Lincoln, obviously.

THANKS @Lou Hamilton

on my 2020 Limited 303A this worked for me (not really fond of the Lincoln exit screen, but I can live w/ it).

on 7D0-01-02 - I left it as 0xxx xxxx ***, which gives me the fast boot (no ford splash screen on boot up).

just wish I could get BAMBI mode figured out!

APIM

7D0-01-02 **** xxxx xxxx Brand: 0=Ford, 8=Lincoln, C=Configurable Splash Screen (This is actually for the theme)

APIM

7D0-02-01 xxxx x3xx xxxx Lincoln Black Label start-up screen

@Lou Hamilton - what results will the "C" option give me??

I don't know. I was not able to find any information about it. This was the description from the F-150 forum spreadsheet, but they offered no further details.

Maybe @LokiWolf knows. He is a wizz at the Sync stuff.

C in theory means that the Theme can adjust the Splash screen. It order to get the Mustang GT theme to work on older revisions of Sync, you had to set that setting.

And yes, I still wish we would move this to a separate thread! So once you get this worked out somebody can find it easier.

the Lincoln (black screen and quick boot) didn't stick for some reason - it had been working all day, took the Expy out to test the homelink on a gate and I noticed ALL the Lincoln stuff was gone....I've got ambient light (full bright, in blue, no colors options)...but the adjustment is gone from the menu too.

Im wondering if an update got slammed on me (ive turned auto updates OFF <again>)

Repost in the ForScan forum. This would not be 3.4 related issue if you changed things in ForScan.

So I pulled the trigger and went down to 19200 then back up to 20021. The downgrade took about 5 mins, the reformat and install took almost 60 mins!

So far seems pretty good, I could swear the interaction seems a bit more crisp / snappy. No new features that I can tell as previously mentioned. I am still running an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 12.4.6

I have a 2018 Expedition with Navigation and I'm getting ready to upgrade from 3.0.17276 to version 3.4 and have a couple of questions. On the Cyanlabs site I'm under the impression that I need to install version 3.4.19200 first before I can install 3.4.20021 since the reformat tool on the Cyanlabs site only works up to 19200. Is this correct? Curious what is required to downgrade to 19200 after I have 20021 installed? Thanks for your insight.

 

[scottdm]

So I was able to get version 3.4.19200 loaded without navigation, and I'd like to update to 3.4.20021 that includes navigation, but not sure what steps to do next. Do I use the the full 14 GB file for 3.4.20021 listed in step 2 on Cyanlabs site, or do I use the smaller 900 MB file in step 4 for that goes from 3.4x to 3.4.20021?

Yes, The 19200 files sitting out there are only for Downgrade, and Non-Nav.

You need the format tool, and the 20021 Nav Download for NA.

Run the format tool, it reboots, then asks for flash drive put 20021 with NAV/19(F9) Map Data drive in(Large). Use AT Least a 16GB. I use a 32GB because it allows for swap space.

Appreciate your help. I was able to successfully install 20021. So in the future, if newer versions come out that I'd like to install, will I have to run the Option #4 downgrade file to version 19200 prior to using the format tool to install the newest version? Still learning how this all works and appreciate your help. I have a 2020 F350 with Sync 3.4, so I'm glad to have the same theme on both vehicles now.

 

[scottdm]

Wondered if anyone has noticed that Sync 3.4 doesn't let you browse new songs from a USB drive while the vehicle is in motion. This is a new "feature" that didn't existing on Sync 3.0 and wondering if there is a way to disable it so my front seat passenger can change music from a USB drive while moving.

Correct, but only if it includes Maps. The Format tool has to be used to install the Maps this way. If there is another revision of Map Data(19/F9 is the most current), downgrade to 19200, Format Tool, and install.

If it is just another flavor of 3.4, that can be installed directly as an upgrade.

Answering my own question, but posting if someone runs into the same issue. If you update the APIM in Forscan to enable navigation while in motion, it takes care of the USB audio browsing issue that I mentioned above.

7D0-02-01 x*xx-xxxx-xxxx is the location where the * needs to be changed from 5 to a 7 to enable navigation in motion.

I get annoyed that people call this setting “Nav in Motion”. It should be called, “Set Sync to Europe”.

It disables E911, and many of the SiriusXM features.

I personally would never set this setting. It would have prevented our 15 from dialing 911 for my wife when a lady turned in front of her and she was traveling through an intersection at 45. She was OK, but dazed, and in seconds was talking to a 911 dispatcher.

Just saying!

Forscan spreadsheets use the navigation in motion terminology. Any work arounds that you know to allow E911 and adjustments in motion? XM radio isn’t a concern for me.

Nope. Federal safety guidelines are not supposed to permit certain things in Motion. The USB thing seems stupid though. It would be like browsing for a Sat Station.

I know what they call it on the sheets, and it is just a pet peeve of mine. Drives me nuts.

Federal safety guidelines that didn't think about a passenger that isn't driving being able to use the sync system...
