Comprehensive Posting of Sync Packages

[AAOO]

Found a comprehensive posting of Sync packages here. Use Google translate to convert from Russian.

FYI, I successfully updated to JR3T Sync3 v3.0.18093 with the download from the below Ford link and then updated to JR3T Sync3 v3.0.19119. Everything is working great. This update fixed the waze speed problem and I didn't have any system crashes during a 12 hour drive like I did on JR3T Sync3 v3.0.17307.

My advice would be to use this Ford link and repackage the download with the latest versions for your Sync 3 System.

So... Who wants to try loading v3.3 first? I've read that some late model 18's and the 2019's should accept the update but not 100% sure.

Good luck and don't brick your truck! lol

I’ll have my dealer do this at my next service, y’all feel free to do the bricking.

Gramps lol I’m a stay at home dad with a 3 and 2 year old. Honestly, my time is far too valuable to spend doing stuff like that especially since I can have it done for free and they’ll come and pick my truck up and leave me with a loaner for the day. I should note that my formal education was telecommunications and network administration so I know a little bit about all them fancy compu’trees.

Haha! Really? I will let the dealer tell me if I can go to v3.3 though. Don't know enough about the system yet to try that update.

It takes like 30 mins tops from start to finish. I sit on the longer than that in the morning. Plus the dealer might not give you the latest build, and when it comes time for a maps update you are going to pay for that unless you want to collude with the Russians or some other nefarious source...

You called me gramps but you’re on the ******* for half an hour, you may want that colonoscopy sooner rather than later.
If I remember correctly they only way to get the map update is to pay, I’m not too concerned about that. I can always use the navigation on the phone if I wanna skip on the map update, I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Just noticed a new version posted from the link in the first post Sync3 v3.0.19205 25.07.2019. Time for some updating!

So, why do these not just update automatically when connected to wifi? I thought that was the point of the wifi?

Mine has never worked over WiFi so I gave up and went the USB route.

CarPlay seems snappier in the latest update.

The CarPlay text bug is still there when you touch the banner and there is an audio/volume delay.

The autodim feature dimmed correctly last night but I need more night drive to see if that bug was squashed. The workaround for this is to wait and start the vehicle after all of the dome lights have gone out. Read about a Forscan tweak that does something to the ambient light sensor timing that fixes this as well.

Has anyone else had trouble downloading the update from the Ford website? When I go here I get a spinning wheel on the page and it never finishes loading: https://owner.ford.com/tools/account/how-tos/keep-your-sync-up-to-date.html. I did an online chat with Ford and they confirmed I have the update available. I've tried different browsers on different computers, so I think it's a problem on their side. When I check for updates from inside the car it says none are available.

Edit: solved!!
