ok not understanding this you say in the above quote it’s 2017 F250. Then it’s not a F250 ?

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>

secondly, I am not russian, i live in the UK and so do some of my moderators.

I would take that Russian comment with a healthy dose of sarcasm, but I do understand your desire to defend the honor of your product.

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

All good, whether it was sarcasm or not I just wanted to clarify the situation

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.

It’s all good but........there’s no need for you to get so defensive if all is on the up and up.

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.
