Coming Sync 3 update
#76
I did the update Tuesday afternoon. Since then I have had some nagging little issues, mainly with sirius. The screen wouldn't list the proper song playing or the station that was playing, the readout would also change station numbers and names but not list the actual station that I was listening to. The backup screen froze once and I had to do a soft reset to clear it. At start up the radio would go to AM instead of Sirius which was what it was on when I turned off the truck. This morning I went ahead and did a master reset and so far, all of the issue have gone away. I can now enjoy my radio again using version 3.0 software. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that these issues don't reappear.

My download speed varies all over the place. Sometimes it starts off slow, then picks up speed. I wonder if it's steam powered . . .
