NEW SYNC 3.0 Build 20204 Nav Android Auto/Apple Carplay

[m.a.s.e]

Can someone just correct me if I'm wrong.
I've managed to get my hands on Ver3.0 Build 18025, and I'm trying to decipher the language from the site I got it from, but from what I can understand all I need to do unzip the downloaded file to an empty FAT32 formatted 8GB USB flash drive, and then go and plug it in to the car, and wait for everything to do its thing?

The files on the drive are supposed to look like the attached picture and I'm good to go no?

that language is Russian, and yes.

Yeah, I know its Russian. I translated it all with google translate, but sometimes it doesn't get it quite right so just wanted to make sure I got it all right.

I've heard people having better results with a smaller 8GB USB drive instead of the larger ones. ??????
[MENTION=32131]Kostyam69[/MENTION] thanks for the link! I think ive got it now, just wanted to confirm I had the right procedure. Thanks!

What you need is a fast USB drive... so the newer the better, size doesn't matter as long as is at least 2 or 4gb depending on the size of the files it needs to hold.

When the USB is inserted into Sync3, Sync3 will copy the contents into itself and only when the copy has been done will it then put a message on the screen to say "system update in progress..."

If you have an old USB, then the copy process could take 20 minutes - during which you may loose faith that anything is actually happening and interrupt the copy by unplugging it, or turning off the vehicle etc.

Some USB's have a flashing light within them to show activity, which is a nice way to know the copy is still happening too.

I succeeded with an 8GB drive formatted FAT32.

I think Ford had a miscommunication somewhere and one hand thought the tarballs were extracted to the flash drive while they are actually extracted to the APIM... which is likely why there isn't enough room on the non-nav APIMs for v2.3 to install if you've been keeping up with the updates (v2.2 seems to have not cleaned itself up).

Yes, and Ford have demonstrated that they know what they are doing right!

Maybe by suggesting a minimum of 32GB they are ensuring that users get a new USB to do this, which also means the copy is 10x faster than if someone grabs an old 4gb usb instead.

The update is under 2GB.

Well I went a bought a nice new fast 64GB USB drive. Guess what? It didn't work.

I pulled one of my 10 year old 8GB drives out and it worked perfectly. :lol:

I think i'll use my trusty 8GB. Its never let me down yet!

Just to be sure, the 18025 is an update/patch for 3.0 Build 17276. You need to have that installed first.
