Did you have Nav In Motion(European Locality) set before the update?

Not that I am aware. I bought my Expy 2 wks ago (Jul 12th) in Nashville, TN. It lives in GA now. The region it had pre/post upgrade = NA. 2>dev/null (bash syntax aka Linux/Unix)

Same issue for me. Now I can't browse them unless I'm stopped and parked. STUPID.

For those that care, I used a different USB stick and it worked. I did do the Loki reboot prior to as well. So today I looked and they updated the cyanlab downloader and removed the version I had 2.1.1.0 and I used 2.1.1.1. Took 28 minutes. Sweet. Seems better so far.
Thanks all!
I think he was saying he was able to browse music...so the opposite of you.

Wait, you can browse the USB media folders while driving? Wtf, mine is locked out, tells me the feature is unavailable while driving or something to that effect.

Could there be a difference in your Forscan settings that is allowing it on one, but not the other? Maybe it could also be file types or usb drive formatting? The usb navigation is presented like it is a bug. Usually a bug requires a specific set of triggers.
Not really Linux. QNX written by Blackberry. It more closely resembles Unix and is designed for embedded devices.

I just checked my usb thumbdrive and region codes. Currently, my region codes are all set to "0" or NA. My usb drive is actually formatted as fat32 so I'll change that to exfat and see if it helps. But it would be really weird for formatting to only not work in certain situations, in most a cases it either works or it doesn't with formatting. I may just try going from 19200 to the version you tried.

Hey DWs-TTEB, any chance you can check your region settings using forscan? I believe it's ACM-727-04-01, but I also see docs saying its FCIM-7A7-01-01.
Regardless, I tried this today, would be curious what others are seeing, as I'd love to find a solution to this. After these two attempts, I still get the "For your safety, some features have been disabled while your vehicle is in motion." message when trying to browse folders on a usb drive, by clicking on the new search button in the top right of the screen. Clicking that prior to 3.4 used to allow me to select folders, artists, albums, etc.
This afternoon I tried two different things to see if I could get the "browse USB media" functions back, so far to no avail. First, I reformatted my USB to exFAT. Second I upgrade to 3.4.20136. Still no work-e-y.
I am ordering my OBD2 to forscan reader this week. I’ll look into when I can.
@5280tunage other options you can try, load the music on an MP3 player or downgrade sync until a fix is made in an Sync 3.4 update.

I get it, I mean I have lots of my music on my phone but nothing beats the simplicity of putting over 100GB of music, some of which I've been collecting for 20+ years, on a simple usb thumbdrive. And more over, the fact that it used to work just fine, until the 3.4 upgrade, its mostly annoying that Ford might have taken that functionality away.

Ready to update to 3.4 and I can't seem to find the location of the latest download and directions. I've been reading this for over an hour.... can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you!
