Dealer couldn’t troubleshoot through IDS because of my whipple tune so I went and took my car back and reverted the theme through FORSCAN. Now my screen is back!
Hamza why didn't you tell us 43 posts ago that you went in and made changes via Forscan? You made it sound like there was something wrong with you system when in fact you were the cause of the problem.

Because other people on Instagram have had this issue without forscan changes. I’ve made several updates with the forscan changes and never had a problem. Sorry I didn’t disclose that before

No problem, we just could have saved you some time and grief. :)

I was going to do it Friday but I just read it bricked someone's unit after a week of use. Want to see more reviews.

I updated my 2018 Ecoboost (and my wife's 2017 Explorer) both updated fine and haven't skipped a beat.

MY17 APIM does support 3.4. I successfully updated my MY16 APIM using the instructions referenced here ...

Dogstar you basically jail broke your Sync 3. Fortunately for you all went well, I’m glad it did. But everyone might not be as lucky as you. On top of that, if just if, something goes wrong with your system, it’s going to cost a pretty penny to replace it. But you knew that when you did it.

Nothing is worse than getting that black sync screen! From now on I’ll be leaving mine alone I value apple CarPlay too much lol.

When in 2017 was yours made?
MY2016: date of manufacture 05-03-16

Agreed. Out of warranty so I knew risk before upgrading. Diligently pre-read forums/threads beforehand. Offered reasonable peace of mind to proceed given numerous positive results with minimal concern. Interface improvements definitely worth it.

Before update on my MY2016:
  • Sync 3 v3.0 Build 19205
  • Gracenotes v1.1.1.1139 (NA-0010)
  • Navigation Maps v NA 1 14
After update on my MY2016:
  • Sync 3 v3.4 Build 19274
  • Gracenotes v1.1.1.1332 (NA-0010)
  • Navigation Maps v NA 1 18

Here’s the primary references I used before going all-in on this upgrade:

https://www.f150forum.com/f118/upgrade-sync-3-v3-0-v3-4-instructions-458828/

https://cyanlabs.net/tutorials/update-ford-sync-3-2-2-3-0-to-version-3-4-all-years-3-4-19200/#

https://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/111645-sync3-update-to-version-34/#comments

Cheers. Dogstar.
