Yeah, I looked at the two sets of data and noticed the one command line being taken out. Rather than remove that line myself, I followed the instructions and replaced the works. Thanks again, SolylentSaxgod. Nice work!

Edit: When I copied and pasted the original from the text file, it must not have copied to the clipboard and I just pasted the same thing twice. I just did it again and it does in fact show a difference. Again, no argument intended. My bad.

So, after rebooting my cable modem (2x), my wireless router (2x), and my PC (2x) I was finally able to complete the official Sync 3 V3.0 update download (2.2 GB) in about 30 minutes. The zipped file name (truck configuration specific?) is JR3T-14G381-AL. I'll try doing the install tomorrow.

For anyone who has installed this 3.0 update, is it build number 17276?
I had installed Version 3 in November, when news of an "unofficial version" came out. Thinking this 3.0 version that just came out was "new and improved", I tried an update tonight. After about 5 minutes of the "Updating Software..." message on the SYNC3 screen, it said my software is up to date. Hence, my question on Build Number.
Was hoping the default to FM upon startup had been remedied....
TIA!

I`m not sure if it`s the same but just like the 2.3 update, factory navigation equipped vehicles have a smaller update file than vehicles without navigation which seems backwards to me.
My download was also 1.5 GB.

My update is installed and confirmed. Our XLT does not have the optional OEM Nav system (our TomTom is just fine, thank you), and I have no idea why the downloaded update file is larger than the updates for the NAV units. The update install took two attempts, but both were pretty fast (under 15 minutes each).
In terms of "What's different?", it's my understanding that I should now be able to use the Waze app on an iPhone.
HTH, and thanks for pointers!
