You also need to use Forscan to modify your APIM config to enable DAB logos, if you want all the features of 3.3/3.4. You may have to manually update from then on, unless you ask a Ford dealer to wipe and reprogram your APIM to 3.0 with IDS.

It took maybe 15 min to update (from Sync 3.0/ Build 17276 to Build 20204).
#SYNC 3 UPDATE ZIP FILE#
5) Deleted the zip file off the USB stick. It should also be noted that if you are on 3.0 (or older) it is a one way procedure, once you use the reformat utility, you can't go back to 3.0, the oldest you can go back to is 3.3. 3) Unzipped the file in the USB stick folder using the Unarchiver tool (found in App store) 4) Opened the unzipped folder, drug those files back into the main root. It should be noted that if you are already on 3.3, the instructions in the OP are not necessary, you can just use the normal autoinstall.lst procedure and "update" to 3.4.

Titled Sync 4, the software and user interface took much of what made Sync 3 an excellent system and improved upon it. There is now a setting for automatic Summer Time MaLike many automakers, Ford recently released a new version of its Sync 3 infotainment system. That is mega handy and a feature I've missed from SYNC 1.1!!! Nice theme, I like it!, also updated maps to F8 which is nice! I will have a play and see whats new!įirst thing I notice is that long press of the voice button bypasses SYNC and activates whatever phone assistant is enabled on your phone.
