I upgraded to Sync 3.4.20351 this afternoon, so far no issues. Took 15 mins (no maps needed | already have M19) Switching apps/menu pages is noticeably quicker. I did do 2 hard reboots (power + >>) out of good habit. Will report if negatives show up.

Same here, I will say it seems like the updates are completing faster and faster these days. So far no issues.

Love the feedback in this thread. We test it and see how it does. So far, most of the complaints I have seen are on early Sync 3 APIM’s in Focus ST’s.

Just to be clear... I don't have to select nav (even tho I have it, assuming its up to date) each time I do an update, and can just update the Sync version? That would definitely be quicker.

You can just update the sync version.

So far pretty good, except that the blank screen issue while connected to a Pixel3 via AAuto seems be back. Meaning when staring the vehicle with a phone attached may cause a blank screen in the head unit. Audio still plays fine, but if you unplug the phone via USB and plug it back in, it corrects itself immediately. I encountered this issue probably 3 or 4 versions ago but it seems to be back in 351.

This black screen happened to me yesterday as well

Just upgraded to 351. That new installer tool is awesome. Will report any issues, but so far so good.

Yup, I was nervous [emoji51] but downloaded the new installer and went ahead and updated today. Upgraded without a hitch and looks great.

Was super easy, even for someone like me who has no idea about this stuff lol

I’ll be making a donation to Cyan Labs later today.

Tried an update to 20351 w/ v19 maps this past weekend and it failed. Said something about USB error using both ports. System just said updating and never went any further. Thankfully it didn't brick when I restarted. Going to try full format on the thumbdrive and attempt again next weekend. It's the same thumbdrive I've used in the past, and I didn't have any issue with the update when I did my other Ford vehicle and the prior Sync3 version.
