Tomtop Unit Fixes

[psoff]

My unit powers up when I open the door. Is there a fix for this? Does the yellow battery (B+) wire need to connected? It looks like there is already a 12 volt source in the wiring harness. Thanks in advance!

I would think you might lose all your saved settings if you did not have a constant power source.

Has anyone fixed the issue of power up with door open ?

Just installed my unit today and it does the same thing... Hope someone has a fix, its annoying.

You might need to empty your cache then... There's 2 different HU on my main page. I can send you a screenshot. I didn't not gave up the HU. My domain expired.

Thanks for all the great updates on your site StangATX! :clap2:

Are you still working on the tomtop Sync 3?

StangATX was developing it, but I'm not sure if he completed it. I would pay for the update.

I am thinking of getting a tomtop system... But I am not able to put the upgrades in... Would someone update the system for me? Of course I would pay you for your time..
Thank you

Honestly if I were you I wouldn't get the Tom Top. I have it... I bought it when it first hit the market, and to be honest it is ok, but the updates are available are very small. and I'm sure there will not be any more advancements on the units capabilities, because the low memory makes it weak in comparison to the newer unit that other members are using now. If I were you I would go with the "Tesla" version that other members are using and modifying now. it has so much more potential from what I have read, and this Tom Top has no potential anymore.
1 of my big complaints is I wish the Tom Top would give the radio broadcast info that almost EVERY radio does today. It only shows the radio station number, it dosn't give the radio verbiage like the song or artist info or the radio call letters. The sync features do but not the radio stations.
Trust me you will be much happier with the other unit that is out and being hacked now. Plus it has a much bigger screen. on top of the climate controls work on it and the vehicle info will work on it. The Tom Top does not do that at all.

Thank you .... Will be looking at adifferent one.

I'm actually still pretty happy with my TomTop unit. I don't want everything to be controlled by touch screen; I'd rather keep the physical buttons, thanks.

That said, does anyone know of the update protocol for Sync using the TomTop front end?

EDIT:

So far no dice; I followed the instructions and formatted a USB stick in exFAT but my car won't even recognize it (not a good sign).

I wonder if the best procedure would be to take the car to a dealer and see if they can force flash Sync (which, jesus, ugh) via a different method.

I thought it needed to be FAT32

The USB has to be FAT or FAT32. To update, go to SYNC settings menu and find install on sync.

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?

Hopefully I'm wrong but yall aren't trying to update yall's Sync2 systems with Sync3 updates are yall?

 

[brandonsmash]

No, this comes directly from Ford's Sync website with an update tied to my VIN.

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?
