What the heck is the problem?

Can anyone confirm that after this upgrade they can now access upper Sirius channels like #309, JamOn? Also, can anyone confirm they did the just two USB upgrade directly to v3.4 19274 (by substituting 5U5T-14G381-CJ.tar.gz) ?

Apps:
5U5T-14G381-CD.tar.gz = 19200
5U5T-14G381-CJ.tar.gz = 19274

​​​​​​​Thanks

Thanks! I couldn't see installing 19200 and then immediately going to 19274.

Thank you - I actually found it about 10 minutes before your post! I was probably downloading while you were posting... it had to have been some kind of "Timeout" on the Zip procedure while the zip app was trying to make the original files to save from the Google drive, I guess! Now, I just have to work up the gnads to try it on my new 2019 truck!!!

sync won’t let you mess it up, keep truck running if you can(I remote started from FordPass and kept extending) follow the onscreen prompts it’s easy

Has @Tricon or anyone else noticed on the FB post Tony Hooton says to have TWO files on USB 3, while Tricon's Google Drive only has one under USB3? Kinda weird...

Here is the USB3 from the FB group/Tony Hooton. You can see the added files in the root and in the Sync folder..

I don’t know if the maps updated correctly. What should the Navigation Maps Version be? Mine says “NA 118” after installing USB 3 and restarting the truck.

Here is the USB3 from the FB group/Tony Hooton. You can see the added files in the root and in the Sync folder..

ROOT:


SYNC MY RIDE FOLDER:
AB is a utility that creates the Sync 3 Update Log File and it's not required or needed for this upgrade.

DONTINDX.MSA is a file that tells the system to NOT index the USB drive. Helps with large installs, but is not an issue with this upgrade if you don't have it.

Yes. You need it keep it running to avoid a loss of power during the upgrade(s). If you're using a USB 3.0 drive the upgrade(s) go faster.

Help with 3.4 to 3.3

Can someone help me with the process of downgrading from 3.4 to 3.3? I like the older style better and seen someone post that this is possible to go back to 3.3 or 3.2. I had 3.0 originally on my 2018 F150 with Nav.

Also, before I upgraded from 3.0 to 3.4, I did a backup of my APIM on FORscan. Could I just recopy that back to my Sync and be back to 3.0?

Thanks!

No. 3.0 has a different file structure. Ford does not currently offer a known utility to reformat back to the 3.0 structure.

I've not done this myself, but here's what's been widely reported to work:

Sync 3.3 19025 is 4U5T-14381-AN

autoinstall.lst contains:

[SYNCGen3.0_ALL]
Item1 = 4U5T-14G381-AN.TAR.GZ
Open1 = SyncMyRide\4U5T-14G381-AN.TAR.GZ
Options = AutoInstall

Standard file structure.

Apps file goes into a directory called SyncMyRide

Autoinstall.lst file goes in the root directory.
