Since the last update on my 2017 netted me nothing but the "revert to random AM/FM on restart" and no noticeable upgrades I'm all done with Ford's updates. My new 2019's head unit works as it should and I'm not about to let another of the updates screw this one up. Especially since the last issue was widely known and Ford really didn't do much about it.

And it was cheaper than buying a whole new truck!

I just updated my 2017 F350 to the version 3.0 of Sync 3 as well. I was under the impression the new update was suppose to include the Waze app? When the update completed...there was no Waze app? Any ideas guys?

Waze on phone.
I think you have to have Waze on your phone to use it through the head unit. I haven’t tried it yet, so this is just an uneducated guess.

Post the update.
Is it possible for you to post the update file. I can't seem to get it to download from the owner.ford.com site. I know they require the VIN number to download, but it shouldn't affect the file.

I trade every 2-3 years anyway. The radio thing was just coincidence.

I think you'll need to get the correct file on whether you have Navigation or not.

No, 17-19 trucks will never see Sync 3.4, it's the 2020+ trucks that get this update. Google Sync 3.4 update and there's a bunch of sites with the download links. You just need to put the files on a USB stick and run the eMMC format, then system update. You get all the newest maps as well if you have NAV. Updated maps were badly needed, bunch of streets were missing by our house. Not anymore!

Thanks for any help, I'm really confused.
