Everything noted is that if you are on 3.0, there will not be a 3.4 upgrade. The reason is that it requires a reformat of the entire system and just ad "fix" or "added features" like most updates are.
What he said!
Only caveat is the later 4th Gen’s should be 3.3 from the factory. They should be able to go to 3.4 without a format.

This must have been a Google Maps update when it updated a couple weeks ago, because I have the temp and I'm still running 3.0 and 19205.
That is my understanding. Has nothing to do with Sync Version...at least 3.0 vs 3.4. Apple guy here...so harder for me to test it.

I use automatic updates thru my home WiFi.
View attachment 34823 View attachment 34823 I’m Wildly Confused.
So, on this thread and I believe on another firmware update thread, folks are talking about manually updating their firmware to “3.4”.
Now, I have my vehicle set to check for automatic updates.
1. why do it manually if your vehicle can do it for you without any effort?
2. How can there be an update already out there yet my unit isn’t picking it up?
3. The infotainment unit still says 3.0 build such and such (see photo). Should I be doing something more proactive, or are some people just beta-testing the latest build?
Thanks!!

Updating from 3.0 to 3.4 is not as easy as a patch fix or feature addition like most other Builds have been under 3.0.
3.4 involves an entirely new root structure which entails a complete rebuild of the file system. this is an an easy task that can just be allied via a wifi or USB "Update".
This is why it is a manual upgrade and is not supported by Ford. It is a "hack" of the Sync 3 system not intended for users to do.
