Thanks to @Tricon and all others who posted on here and other threads about the upgrade! Based on all that - I was able to upgrade the Sync system to 3.4 yesterday. I simply followed the method posted here and it worked perfectly. I used three 16GB (2.0) thumb drives to download the information (after I formatted them to FAT32 in Windows 10). Took approximately 40 minutes total. Screenshot below.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this update on both here and the F150 site. I had no problems being on 3.0 but like to tinker and will be out of warranty soon. I did update using the cyan labs files and it went smoothly. The only issue I have now lol...is the head unit randomly reverts to FM radio or Audio off when I shut the truck off. I know this has been a common issue for people with several versions of Sync 3. It’s not the end of the world but has anyone had this issue come up after the 3.4 update that did NOT have the issue on 3.0? Thanks. FWIW I did not update my APIM firmware when I upgraded to 3.4.
Camera not working - installed 3.4 19264 with Tailgate off, (Truck Camper owner) and just put on!
Hi Guys - got a head scratcher for all of you on Sync3.4 and the Camera System! I have a 2019 F-450 XLT with the 5 Camera "Surround" Camera System! As we have an Arctic Fox slidein truck camper, we removed the tailgate within three weeks of purchase and brought it to our Truck Camper Dealer to be outfitted with mounts and some minor suspension additions. We then picked up our new camper and pretty much left it on from there on out. We even spent a good portion of last winter on a southern trip down through GA/FL and headed back just as COVID hit.
Anyway, I installed this Sync3.4 via USB sticks, sometime after we returned from FL, very successfully... everything went very smoothly. I've had no problems. Love it! We have not done ANY camping, as my wife is scared to death of COVID and I can't talk her out of it or change her mind so the camper just sits in the driveway. I just bought a nice Goldline cover for it, winterized it and put the cover on for the winter! I unwrapped the tailgate this afternoon (had it wrapped in a NEW furniture moving blanket in the garage) and had my neighbor give me a hand installing it. Removed the dummy plugs, sprayed a bit of contact electrical cleaner in both plugs (video and multi-pin) and plugged them in! Fired the truck up, tailgate locks fine but NO CAMERA! Unplugged and plugged the video plug a couple of times and tried again - still nothing!
Is there a chance that because the tailgate was OFF when I installed the software, that the camera never got configured??? If so, how do I get the software to pick up the camera NOW? I even plugged in my Camera-Source.com Camera (plugs into the same video plug) to make sure that it wasn't a tailgate issue... that one didn't work either! I haven't used that either since before Sync3.4 unfortunately...
Sorry for the LONG POST!
Thanks for any thoughts you might have... (as for Master Reset, will I lose my FordPass Account connection?) Thanks

Well, ended up trying some contact cleaner on the plugs, several times (first), then finally did do the Master Reset and still didn't pick it up. Have no idea where to go next! Any ideas would REALLY be appreciated?
Updated my 2019 F250 from 3.0 to 3.4 21098 yesterday using the cyan labs updater. Updated the maps to 2 20. Slow internet here, so had to download the last 3 files manually and put them in the download folder. Re-ran the updater and it validated all of the files and created the USB. All went smoothly. Loaded up in the radio in just over 28 minutes.
EZ Peezy.
Used a 16gb flash drive.
Still trying to determine if its worth the squeeze to update the firmware in the APIM. Not yet convinced that it is.
Currently my 19 F250 with V3.0 will not allow usage of rear aux. camera in-motion. The new '21s do. Anyone know if this upgrade to 3.4 allows a '19 to view the aux camera in motion? Thanks!

Im going to guess no. My 20 has 3.4 and I can’t use any cameras in motion.
