2 questions after upgrade:
1. How do I get the Android auto map (google) into the home screen for split layout?
2. Waze is not appearing in the list of apps in android auto, android auto and waze up to date. Is it still not compatible>

firstly, All files except the reformat tool are downloaded from Ford servers, the reformat tool is cryptographically signed with Ford's private key and therefore ensures the file is FORD property, this reformat tool was leaked from ford months ago.
secondly, I am not russian, i live in the UK and so do some of my moderators.

I can attest, the CyanLabs tool is outstanding and made this upgrade very easy and worthwhile. Thank you for your efforts.

A bit of background on how this tool became a thing, i wrote a manual guide on how to upgrade but people were still making common mistakes, wrongly formatted drives, wrong file names etc, I have dabbled with c# in the past and decided to automate the process, FordSyncDownloader was released, it was quite buggy and the backend changed quite a bit, Syn3 Updater and then Syn3Updater 2.0 was released each time to improve functionality and fix common bugs that were occuring, the application is also open source and available to download on Github.

You have your opinions and I have mine which also includes doubts.
I’m glad it’s working well for others.
All the best to you.
