Update all versions of Ford Sync 3 to the latest Sync 3.4

Those of you that have updated, what does your SiriusXM screen look like? This is the one in the loaner F150 I currently have. Does the Expy show the station logos and album art like this or does that require the firmware update?

I like how you can mix and match AM, FM and Sirius favorites on the presets on the F150.

thanks for clarification, but i still don't have the MBR option on my windows 10, does it matter?

Computer Management/Storage/Disk Management. Right click properties on your USB drive, Volumes tab. Formatting defaults to MBR for FAT, FAT32, NTFS or exFAT in W10 if memory serves, but, that's how you can check definitively.

I don’t have either of those in my 2019

less concerned about the icons but a “unified” list of pre sets would be cool.

Anyone do it from a Mac? Does it have MBR automatically also? I'm travelling for work and only have my macbook pro to reformat and download

 

[Johhn14]

Yes from a Mac. Search this thread for a post I made on it. They don’t make it intuitive for MBR formatting.

So it’s been about almost an hour and the progress bar is still in the same place “Extracting map package” and it’s cycling between the screensavers. normal?

That is the longest step. Depending on the speed of your flash drive it can take that long.

Give it a bit more.

Thanks! I have a lexar 32gb 3.0 from cost o. Also I’ve been driving while it’s updating.

Yeah, I found that it would seem the progress bar "stalls" for a rather long time. Then it quickly finishes.

 

[armoredsaint]

So it’s been 2 hours now at the same progress bar, tempted to pull it out and redo it?

Did it finish?

It’s progressing nicely, the extracting part only took 10 mins.

It took 27 minutes total really fast it looks pretty nice on the interface. It’s funny at start up it has the Lincoln logo and presidential written across in cursive

 

[Gumby]

Yeah, that goes away after the initial startup.

Just did this last night on my 17. I was killing myself trying to use the Ford site to update from 2.3. I couldn't get the Ford files to extract correctly. Finally I found this post... I used one 16GB USB thumb drive. Two would have been easier, but not a must. Downloaded two files to my pc. Extracted one to the USB drive, loaded it to the Expy. Deleted the file off the thumb drive, extracted the other file, loaded it to the Expy and walla. Worked like a charm. ~27 min for the second file to download also. ~13.5GB for that one.
Thanks LokiWolf!

Glad to help! @Cyanlabs deserves the credit for writing those instructions and compiling the files! He made it SO much easier vs the first 2 times I did it!!! Make sure you also do the 19274 update. Should be 3 installs total unless you slip streamed the 19274 update in to the 2nd step.
