That looks perfect. Let me do a little homework. Done a ton of these, but most have been Nav. The nav units have MUCH more space. Never done a Expy Non-Nav. Will get back to you.

Ok Thank you.

GBLAKEB were you able to upgrade yours? Mine didn't work.

Internet has been down all afternoon through this evening. Haven't had the chance to do it yet.

I am at Sync 3 2.2 now after using the non nav version. It requires using the usb update 2 times. I was able to successfully do it using a Mac. Now I just need to get the usb hub that provides CarPlay.

Yeah my update1 fails and says I don't have enough space or something, even after doing a master reset. Weird. And you have a 2016 Exp Limited? Do you know the date of manufacture? Mine is sept 2015.

I did find this post and wondering if maybe I can modify the files to make it install less and just do 3 stages. https://www.f150forum.com/f118/curr...auto-information-360660/index171/#post5135735

I would not modify the install. Talked to the guy who created it, he said switch USB drives. He has seen the USB 2.0 Drives work better vs USB 3.0. He also said to make sure you are doing a full format, not a quick before you copy the files to it. He has helped 100's do the update, I am at about 50.

So, CarPlay did not work after the update. If so, that confirms the need for a new Hub. Did you look close at the Hub and whether it is easy to swap? The Edge was easy.

Looks pretty easy to pull out. Haven't tried yet, but I'm not expecting any problems. I already have the tools to do it.

So you think it's my flash drive? Hmmmm. That's weird. I'll have to find an older one. I actually don't know what version it is.

Did you already order the hub? If so where did you order it from?

I know nothing about the update but I can confirm that flash drives/class 10 memory cards can make a huge difference when installing firmware. I recently bought a night vision scope and I compiled a guide for the new guys because so many were having firmware-update issues and one of the major causes of their problems has been verified to be crappy flash drives and/or memory cards!

good luck,

jeff

Hmmmm but he's telling me that my 3.0 USB flash drive is probably causing the problem and to downgrade to a 2.0 USB version flash drive. I do know what you're talking about because if you own a GoPro or other type of cameras (drone's with buit-in cameras, etc) then we always have these issues.

 

[jeff kushner]

I think that it has to do with how the firmware/software was originally compiled....and he's right about doing the full formatting too. I've seen scope firmware issues disappear when the new owner has gone back, reformatted their card, copied the firmware over to it them do the install....all with no issues....so hopefully for you, that's all it is!

I actually did reformat my flash drive and did ExFat this time since the readme doc said FAT32 or ExFat. So now I've tried both ways. Only thing I haven't tried is a different flash drive. I ordered some new ones from Amazon and should be here today.

 

[LokiWolf]

Like I said, got this from the guy that compiled the install, and he has helped MANY people. All of the in person installs I have done, I have used an older USB 2.0 16GB Flash Drive. Never had an issue. Mine is also formatted ExFAT.

 

[AK_Zack]

Did mine! So happy to have the update. Anyone know where I can get the USB so CarPlay works?
