Official Ford Sync3 3.4 Release

[UofMEngineer]

I re-downloaded the F-150 one I didn't get around to applying yet.
The script and files are exactly the same. (no delay in the script)

There's no change for the MY19 updates. It's only MY20's. Those will switch back on later this week / weekend.

I just now was finally able to download the update file!!!

Me too!

 

[EPTS550]

Done. It's so ugly though. I miss the dark mode of 3.3. I'm not a fan of blue and this just looks terrible to me. Oh well.

 

[ALLSTOCK]

does it feel snappier or any faster?

Saw the thread bumped, was just able to D/L, ~1.2G, about 2-3 minutes tops.

OK, going in ...

I updated successfully but now Sirius doesn’t appear! Any idea why? Nevermind: Just had to send a refresh signal.

I agree, I think the graphics are horrible, like it is meant for smaller screen.

Starting a new thread to separate it from the navigation thread.
Thanks UoMEngineer for providing all help and updates on the subject and the Navigation thread issues.

*UPDATE IS LIVE - Sync3 3.4 for 2019 Mustangs that are currently running v3.2 or 3.3 or a prior version of 3.4 on the MY2020.

New Version: 3.4.43 (20136)

For Sync3 with Navigation:
Currently after install, the system will reboot.
If the USB is kept in, it will install the same files again. This is endless.
It will not stay on the 'Safe to remove USB" screen and I'm not sure if Ford will fix the script to add in the delay line.
Remove the USB when instructed and let the system reboot.
You should be on 3.4 after the reboot.
If you would to avoid multi-reboots, edit your Autoinstall.lst file in notepad and change the last line:
Options = AutoInstall
Options = AutoInstall,Delay

For Sync3 without Navigation; may require multiple reboots.
Waiting on someone to report back the contents of the Autoinstall.lst file.
The last option line in the file should also have the delay(like in Nav) in order for the install to stop on the last step.

Update does not fix the displayed map version to the installed version.
It's not a real-time/file check update. It will continue to display what is already there.
It will update the MAP version in Sync 3.4 when the map pack is installed.
If you have to do both, upgrade to Sync3.4 first, then install Map Update 1.19.
If you have Map 1.19 already installed, after you upgrade to Sync3.4 you can reinstall the MAP update to display the correct file.

What does it do for you? Like any computer I don't update just to be trendy. The system in my 2017 is working perfectly. If it isn't necessary, why bother?

I totally agree. After a drive I guess it's not so bad. I just wish we could chose the color of the back and foreground.

So what's the verdict folks? To update to 3.4 or not? Now I'm not so sure if I should do it or not. It won't change the stupid maps to 1.19, and don't plan to reload them even if I could (a big if, since I erased the confirmation email). And don't have any other reason to update it. By the way, was the 'delay' error fixed, or not yet? Thx.

I edited the autoinstall.lst file to include the ,Delay

How exactly do you edit that file? Is it something we regular Joes without an IT degree can do? Thx.

does v3.4 fix the pop-up every time you start the car saying that Ford Diagnostics is watching you?

I think that's the FordPass man. I deleted it on my F-150, and no more issues. Didn't even set it up on the Bullitt, in spite of salesman insistence.

Sirius doesn’t appear! Nevermind: Just had to send a refresh signal.

Hey, how did you do that? Is there a regular setting for that, or do you need to access the 'secret diagnostic menu'? Please give us details . Thx.

The .lst can be edited in notepad. Very easy. The pop-up, I believe they improved the logic for when it's shown now. The SXM refresh you send from the SXM website.

I just did my update while I was out on some backroads with a couple of 7k pulls...... So it seemed to happen pretty quick. For the record I think it looks great compared to the 3.3 version and I love the blue look at night but then my car is blue too..... It went very smooth only one reboot so they must have have fixed that issue that others noted with multiple reboots. So I'm happy with the update so far!

 

[slowrey]

Just tried to download and it downloaded quick. Hollered at the wife I'd be back and 15 minutes later it said to remove the drive so I did. It rebooted and boom 3.4. Looks beautiful! Seems snappier as well.

How do I update the map update file? I did a map update back in January 2020 but not sure if that was the 1.19 or not.

I still can't download from the server; goddammit Ford! Ford is obviously struggling with the whole 'computer thing.'

OT, but this don't look good (dunno if this deserves its own thread): http://www.autoextremist.com/
