No issues here, but I’ve only been running it a couple of days. The only issue I’ve seen posted is if you’ve changed the boot up screen with forscan edits to the gt theme. That boot screen isn’t in the 3.4 version so make sure you change it back to the pony or another supported screen before flashing 3.4.

from my reading 19274 is mainly bug fixes. I went ahead and went to it immediately after 19101 so I don’t know specifics. I do know the bootloader is blacklisted on 19274 so you won’t be able to backdoor in and flash packages anymore like usb 1 in the instructions accomplishes.
I've noticed that while the directions from google maps in android auto do show on the dash, the time and distance to destination values are 0. I'll be updating to see if that is one of the fixes.
Also, the bootloader will work if you flash the 19101 first...

Correct, you can flash back to 19101 and bootload from there.

This is awesome, was going to buy a newer APIM but so far this seems to be a viable software only work around. Please post if there are any issues that pop up, especially folks that are running 2017 and older APIm hardware.

Updated tonight 3.0 - 3.4 using that guide. Only did the 19101 build. Might up to 19274-but not sure what gets updated.

I mainly did it so I can get Google Maps directions in android auto onto the dash.

18 EBP with Nav.
How do you get Android Auto into the dash?

"Updated tonight 3.0 - 3.4 using that guide." = followed the link in the first post in this thread. :)

I did later update to 19274, but it didn't fix the distance calcs on the screen

Anyone else have issues with the maps download? Keeps getting about a GB away from completion then says problem extracting file and stops.

When I ran into an extraction error I checked the file size and it was way off from the original size of the download link. Redownloaded the files that were wrong and it went thru without an error the next try.

Are you extracting the file before or after you are loading them on the USB stick? For maps you extract before, unlike Sync which you extract after. I just did my wife's Escape (3.0 19205) with no issues. When doing my 19 GT/CS (3.3 19025) ran into a bunch of issues in the car but it eventually took.

It was my Mac trying to unzip files automatically initially but then the all in one option would say complete after DLing 4GB. Did the manual process and it worked great.

Those are my screenshots at night. The daytime screens use a different palette and brightness. That probably explains the difference.
Thanks, StangTime! The pictures below show the differences I'm referring to:

When I try to download the reformat tool (first download link), it says there was a problem and it can't be downloaded at this time. Anyone else run into that?
