Yeah, no change log, even high level, was always a pet peeve of mine. They're all basically maintenance releases. The voice piece for example just had a final fix in there for problems with contacts with emojis in them and some other low hanging fruit commands added. Got that in before exiting...

That's been that way for quite a while unfortunately. Still annoys me.

Are you using a thumb drive, and are you trying to browse while driving? When it indexes the device, it'll compare the media against the Gracenote database. That'll link up the genre as well. If you've categorized them how you like, you can view them that way by disabling the Gracenote option in...

ALOM is the company that handles the map update distribution. So you go the that map update site and that’s all them. My understanding is it’ll look up the VIN you put in against the Ford database to get the ESN and current map info.They’d then create the license file specific to your unit, then...

Will ALOM let you give them your ESN so they can manually create a license file? I’d *think* they could do this or get someone at FoMoCo to create one for you. It’s really the only unique aspect to a map update.

Nav Voice. Fixes a problem with recognition of “Fast Food” and a couple other POI Categories.

It needs a cold boot for the updated files to take. So, if you did a quick off/on, it never actually shut down fully. For Waze, they removed support for SDL a couple months back. CarPlay/AA only if you want to use it.

Yes, the nav voice packages go in last and would need that final off/on cycle to load up.

Did they try to update her map? If it was on NA 2 20, but now shows NA 1 19 I'm guessing they did, and possibly they didn't complete the full update.

I would guess that the system was updating the map OTA when you lost it. I've heard of one or two cases where it seemed like this was the case, but why exactly it happens I'm not sure. Running the new map update should address it, just make sure you let it get through all parts of the update...

This is new in the 21194 build. The reason it happens is you do not have the Nav Voice package installed. That package is deleted during a map update, and many times folks pull the drive early. In that case no Nav Voice package is installed and it’ll die out (prior to 21194) without any...

Nope. The voice nav package contains the information needed specifically for searching for POIs, addresses, city/state names, etc. The voice piece of the system is actually broken among 3 different packages for Nav vehicles, 2 for Non-Nav. The issue/s with the partial map install is it will...

That will work regardless. Try "find an address".

That’s exceedingly short. Do a voice command to make sure it’s all there.

Source the device. Then go to Settings, Media Player, then you’ll have an option there to “Reset Media Index”.
