UofMEngineer, not sure what type of file it is. On windows I right clicked, made a new folder and dragged a bunch of MP3's into it and called it singles. Loaded that and a bunch of full CD's (mp3 format) onto a USB drive. So when I click new search, explore device, music it shows up there. Voice search artist or album won't show the file.

I'm confused. Isn't the map updated with the Sync update? Or is the map update done separately?
Separate. The consensus seems to be, 3.4 first, then the 1.19 map update ... the latter is available here:

https://syncnavigation.com/ford/home

(or if you've already installed the map update, a few people have reported needing to install it again).

They are separate. Sync update is 1.2 gig roughly and the maps update is 12 to 16g depending on your version.

LOL edit: wow like 3 answers at once

And those files have all the expected meta-data?

I'm also downloading Beta 4, and streaming a 4K show, the network here is congested :D

Thanks! Downloading now.
I have just downloaded the 3.4 file, will go do it over lunch break probably. Site was down all day yesterday as far as I know.

With the maps, I got a 1.19 downloaded with the email link saved, but wasn't able to do it via 3.3. I tried the proper procedure, never changed to 1.19 from my 1.17 (on my '19 Bullitt), so hoping it'll work after I put the 3.4 on.
Can't wait, to me it's worth it if even for the 18 station radio memory (rather than 6 > change page > another 6 > change page > last 6). That was silly to have it like that.

Directions from Android Auto in the cluster are nice, about time we got that, my '18 Accord had it on from factory, but granted, that was a new infotainment system that debuted with the Accord...

So a heads up to the few like me that used forscan to adjust the factory EQs. This update resets them back to the stock ones. I was like why does my stereo sound like crap again... so if you haven't used forscan in some time like me your gonna have to go and set that all up again... and that blue... ugh. IM with the other guy wishing I had not done this update now.

Hmm, my maps update threw an error at the end, but recycled as expected, system came up, maps at 119 (1.19), working as expected (even nav'ed to a few locations in CA and PA, from FL :D)

Going to test something as soon as I get a full restore on a dev device :D

Q
Have a 2015 EU car which originally came with sync 2.
Swapped it to sync 3 in 2017. Now I want to upgrade to 3.4 but my vin is of course not accepted for upgrade :)
I made a USB stick with the latest version of cyanlabs.net V20136.
My sync3 display was purchased in Dubai
A nice mix but a bit afraid to launch the stick.
Anything I can check to be sure it will not mess up everything ?

Thx
