What version of sync are you updated to now
Sponsored
I don't believe sync 2 can even read exFAT (it wouldn't read a USB formatted to that with music for me), so I'm glad Ford is steering people in the wrong direction :headbonk:I'm not saying you're wrong -- in fact, I've gone back and reformatted the drive -- but here's a screenshot from Ford's own webpage:
So there's an "install" option on the TomTop front end?
For the record, installing the Sync update was actually pretty straightforward. I had to format the drive in FAT32 (unlike what Ford's own website said) but TomTop installed it just fine.
There were plenty of points when it looked like nothing was happening, but the USB stick I used had an activity light that would flash so I just let it go.
I went inside and did chores for half an hour and when I came out everything was done and my version number had changed, so hurrah. Maybe this means I won't have to pull the damn Sync fuse every 6 weeks now?
I think this updated to 5.9.
I've only driven the car for a total of 14 minutes so far with the update, so it's far too early to say for sure if it did anything useful or not.
It was pretty easy. I just formatted the drive in FAT32 and followed the directions to copy the update (from Ford's website) to the drive.How does one go about updating our BASE systems ?
Only directions I have see have been for the Mustangs with the factory navigation screens..
OMG. You are a fucking lifesaver. I have literally been searching and trying everything to get it back to english from chinese. Tomtop support is NO HELP what so ever. I'm so happy right now. Thought I wasted 400 dollars after install for nothing!I did try contacting them. They gave me that code and told me to put it in the System Update option to change my language to English completely, because I inquired about the Chinese mute button, and the Phone Connected being cut off.
It changed it ALL to Chinese.. very frustrating.
I am now communicating with Amazon to see what my options are. It's going to be hell if I have to take everything apart again. I should've just saved more and opted for the Moddiction unit or the Raxiom unit.
EDIT: By the way, what enticed me the most about the unit I purchased (KKmoon or Docooler) was the price point of $300.00. I'm not worried about HDMI or anything too fancy. I just wanted a customized navigation program.
EDIT 2: I'VE GOT THE CODE TO CHANGE IT BACK TO ENGLISH! They were sending me on a wild goose chase. Very frustrating to be without a head unit that's not in English for nearly 3 weeks!
