Any idea on when we can expect a new sync 3 update? (v3.5-v4.0) I want the new GT500 theme...

I know this sounds stupid, but when I do the install in the car does it have to be running, or can I just turn the car on?

On edit: Per the instructions it has to be on and running.

It doesn’t need to be running but is recommmended in case the battery dies/car turns itself off. I installed mine without the engine running.

Should work just fine. I got one of these updates that was from a Raptor. Seems to be the same files across the board, at least for the US.

If in doubt, grab a vin and put it on your ford owner account and you can get the latest sync update that way.

It is not vehicle specific.

Does anyone have a link for the non-nav update for version 3.0 they can PM me? It’s not showing up for me on the Ford Owner site.

Just wish it worked better with non-nav Sync 3 systems. This is probably WAD (works as designed) but I find it to be a PITA. When using my Pixel phone via USB and Android Auto, all speech commands are Google focused only. So that means if I want to use Sync 3 commands for SiriusXM or my music library on my USB stick, I have to unplug the phone. There really should be some way to use both systems without disconnecting the phone and Android Auto.

@SpeedRacerXT my thoughts exactly...very annoying the two can't function together (as far as I know).

Interesting... It doesn't appear to be available for the '16s (yet?) and my sync update history on the owner.ford.com site has been purged of everything before v3.0

...and apparently my vehicle hasn't checked in since Dec 2.

Yes, that's how they designed the CarPlay/Android Auto integration. Takes out SYNC 3 VR while they're active. Once you deactive CP/AA, then SYNC 3 VR comes back to life.

Do you mean v3.3? That is only applicable to units that shipped with v3.2+ as they have new APIM hardware.
