NEW SYNC 3.0 Build 20204 Nav Android Auto/Apple Carplay

So I converted my MFT to SYNC 3 this afternoon and it was a breeze. Didn't have to program the VIN or anything and it still works great. Only problem I have now is that a GPS antenna didn't come with my new unit and I don't have one just hanging out obviously. Anyone know where I can get a replacement antenna. Called Ford and they weren't much help. Said that I can buy a whole new antenna that mounts on the roof but I don't think I need all that.

Successfully completed the update on my 2016 Sync3 w/ navi.

Although everything seems to be working is there a way to reset it back?

No, if you try to master reset it will still keep the update but only reset your personal settings and map favorites

Very interesting that you didn't have to program the VIN. Does it have one in there at all fro the previous car?
I posted the link to the thread that walks through all of that. You need to run the new antenna and the best spot is laid out in OEMRadio's video. Here is a link to the antenna you need

Thank you so much for posting that! I went ahead and ordered it. Also, yes the VIN from the last owner of the unit is on there. I don't know if this will mess me up in the long term or not but for now this was an awesome switch and well worth the $400 I spent.

Can someone please confirm that after installing (w/Nav) that your reverse aid is still intact (the reference lines that show up in the view from the backup camera). I installed this just prior to getting rear ended, and noticed today when I got the car back that the reverse aid is not there. I don't know if it was from this update, or something that got screwed up in the collision repair. Thanks!

Still looking for someone to confirm that after they updated their system (w/Nav), that their reverse aid is still intact (the reference lines that show up in the view from the backup camera). Mine went away, and I am assuming it is because of the software upgrade. I have made sure they were on in the settings (cycled it on, off, and did a Master Reset, and checked it again), but no joy. Just looking for one person to confirm that they successfully upgraded and did or didn't experience this same problem.

After reading this I noticed today that my reference lines are also gone. :/ I didn't really use them anyways but it was still nice to have...

If anyone needs the USB Hub (HU5Z-19A387-A) and can't find anyone that has them in stock, Walt Sweeney Ford Parts has 19 of them available as of 0900 this morning.

Are you referring to the lines when you turn the wheel or the lines that are fixed? I assume both.... I still have both of mine, I think. Will check later when I leave work.

That is interesting....I have just re-installed the software from the Ford link....It didn't fix the problem, but I need to drive it for a bit before I see if they come back or not.

I have a non-nav car and the reference lines are still there.

The white ones that turn with the wheel and the green/yellow/red ones that are fixed.

I only lost the ones that turn while you turn. I thought that was what you were talking about. Sorry.
