Leave red circle blank and they create date files. Plug USB into car to update.

I just assumed the update would take a long time with maps . Would rather not wait an hour for it while car runs since i dont use stock nav anyways

also, it wont let you not select maps

so my upgrade to v3.4 from 3.0 went fine. I unchecked maps and map license. Upgrade took 12min.

The interface is super fast too. But no maps obviously. Not sure if I’ll load them at this point. maybe on a longer trip. I feel like the free space without maps allows the unit to run faster

So now my question is can I load the maps and map license on their own?

Yes, you can choose to down load maps or not when you update.

I just used the Cyan Labs usb drive method to update from 1.0 to 3.4. Everything is working great except now I dont get any album art while using spotify over bluetooth, while on 1.0 it did.

Any fixes for this?

Thanks.

Sometimes it takes a while to repopulate.

I just check the maps update today and it's still show 1.19 is the latest for me.
Yeah, same here. I do not know why it takes Ford so long to release to map updates officially.
Yep, but why not do the maps?
Gentlemen, I might be severely missing something here, but I was under the impression the maps aren't actually from Ford and we don't get them for free (or maybe one for free)?
I bought my 2019 Bullitt in 2020 with 1 17 NA, updated to 1 19.

I thought the maps are separate...

I just tossed the keys in the console, and turned the ignition on. We'll see if it speeds up the download.

Interestingly, the download screen was still up after 1/2 an hour. The auto shut-off of the radio hadn't occurred.

Hope my battery hangs in there.

I hope SYNC works better after this update. It's never been able to do WAZE and scan through the music on my Android phone at the same time. And recently it stopped re-starting playing the music on my phone automatically.

I also just updated Android Auto, so there's that.
Not sure if anyone responded already to your comment, couldn't find it.
But on the digital dash (which your 19 GT PP1 premium has I believe), you can toggle "auto engine off" and the car shouldn't shut itself off. I think you are supposed to keep the engine on when using USB update, although I'm not sure why.

My WiFi is trash, so it's always USB for me.

Bit, I'm out of warranty plus mine came with MFT which I updated to sync 3.4 system so I only use the Cyanlabs method for all my updates including maps.

Sync 3 maps are from Ford. Supposedly the first one is free and you pay for the USB after that. I also went from 1.17 to 1.19 so we need to wait 7ntil they release 1.20 and see what happens.

From what I was told by Ford map updates to download are free for 3 years. USB sticks are $40.
