Unable to downgrade from 3.0 build 17276 to version 2.2 or 2.3. When I try to installing the official 3.0 18025 it tells me it is already up to date. Ill keep trying but if anyone else has any hints ill take them.

I am now getting the annoying wifi availability pop-up at start up, but only randomly. I have the wifi notifications set to off but the system wifi still on, I may have to disable both.

I downloaded the update last night. Plugged it in this morning while I drove to the jobsite. It popp'd up about 20 minutes into my drive and said it was complete.
Like others, I'm getting the request to connect to wifi every time I start the engine. When I get hom tonight, I'll connect to my home wifi and see if that clears the message

I plan to do the same. Hugely annoying. I seem to recall that I got the same message when I bought the truck, connected to home wifi and never saw it again. Here's hoping!

So then I did a master reset and tried again. Same result. So no build 18025 for me. At least build 17276 is working fine.
Exact same experience here. Shazbot.

I just downloaded the update. I'm tempted to go outside and start it, but this 1st day of Spring Nor`easter has me thinking otherwise.

I downloaded and did the upgrade this evening, I don't see much of a difference except the steering wheel heat control is now on the main screen. I don't seem to be having any WiFi connection issues everything seems to be working fine.

What were some of the other changes with this upgrade?

Downloaded and installed update. First attempt it updated for over 1 1/2hrs and never finished. Shut truck off unplugged usb restarted and was done in 15mins. Literally zero change that I see. Dont have heated steering wheel so never got that icon. If I could do it again I wouldn't waste my time. Oh ya also getting Wi-Fi message as well.

Waze will be an app in the AppLink catalog and they say it`ll be out next month.
More than likely one will not have to use their phone for Waze because it`ll be an app for the SYNC 3 system.

Are you now regretting or wishing that you didn`t do the "unoffical" 3.0 upgrade?

My head unit wants to go back to AM at startup after the version 3.0 install. Anyone else have this issue. I turn the truck off with sirius playing and radio comes up on AM when I start the truck.
