Sync3 Update

FYI those that own Sync3 Trucks with the older software. I was able to download the latest version of sync3 and maps from this site and create a flash drive to update my system. Now I have the new blue screen with updated graphics and most importantly the annoying multiple sms notifications issues I had is gone. The older version of sync3 had an issue with Google Pixel phones where when you received an sms text the system would randomly send you 3 or 4 old txts instead of the actual message that was sent. SMS text notification is working perfect on the new version. If anyone is interested this site has a ton of info and tools for upgrading.

This is good info but I'm wondering if the dealer can tell how you got a SYNC update (i.e. voids the warranty).

Did the update on mine from Sync 3.1. Like night and day. Voice integration much faster, more accurate, more commands. Replaced original USB in console with the latest USB part #HC3Z-19A387-E. Now have Apple Play and Android Auto.
More to it. Easy and rewarding, especially after leaving wireless updates on for 4 years with not a single bug fix. There were something like 10 updates from mine that it never downloaded.
