Sync 3 Software Version v3.3 - Anyone Running It?

If anyone is running Sync software v3.3 I was wondering if they could answer a few questions I have. (I prefer not to run v3.4 as I don't care for the look of the interface.)
.
  1. Did you upgrade from v3.0 to v3.3 or did your truck come with v3.3?
    • If you upgraded, any issues or concerns?
      • I understand that the Climate function is added. True?
  2. Do you have Phone Voice Assistant under the Phone Menu? If so, have you use it and share any details on how it works (specifically with Google Assistant (GA) as I'm an Android user). I would prefer to use GA over standard Sync phone commands when I'm not using Android Auto.
  3. Under the Settings --> Display menu can you change the Background?
  4. Can you fully search your USB music while in motion? Its been reported that this function is limited in v3.4 when configured to USA region.
  5. Is Android Auto Navigation displayed on IPC?
  6. Is a Caller's Photo displayed on the screen? (Naturally, only if associated within the phone itself.)
Thanks for your time!

(Examples from v3.4)

H20camper, I don't like the new look either, my truck updated it, it's self. You can change the background, but they all suck!! I personally haven't really noticed any improvement. just a different look. I haven't noticed the "Phone Voice Assistant". I know I wasn't any help I just wanted to complain a bit.

My biggest concern would be that my wife will insist I upgrade to this immediately....
But, she might have to fight me for time in the truck!
These trucks keep getting better and better!!!!!

My wife LOVES my new 2020, but we need to try that climax thing...

Seriously, my 2020 STX updated on its own a couple of weeks ago, but I really didn't notice any significant changes in the interface or the functions. Then again, I've had the truck for just over a month and WFH has pretty much kept me here to the point where I'm hardly driving anywhere. (Sometimes in the middle of the day, I'll just wander out to the driveway and stare at it for a while).

The other thing for me is that I use Android Auto nearly all the time I'm in the vehicle, so I don't have a lot of interaction with the Sync interface.
