Happened to stumble upon your tutorial regarding the Ford Sync. I had watched your video regarding mini split AC units. When I found this one I knew Sir you knew what you were talking about.......Thank you Sir!!
I want to thank you for your excellent help. I am not computer savvy, but you have made me an expert. Thank you so much. I will enjoy using my updated navigation. Please continue to educate us common folks.
I did watch another tutorial, and yours was the best. More step by step information here. I just did the update with maps in about 55 min. Everything went flawlessly. Great software.
Ok!!!! Finally got the 3.4!!! It took about 45min to upload to my truck!!! Thank you so much!!! Did everything you said to do, and didn’t have any issues!!!! I wish I had found your page a long time ago!! But I’m here now!🙏🏼👍🏼 thanks again!!!
For everyone watching this does work and I want to say thank you for your help I save 150 dollars but after the update my map malfunctioned so if this happens to you all you have to do is go to settings general scroll down and master reset the car this will update the maps and fix it if it has a malfunction Thank You 😃😃
Thank you so much for this. It worked like a charm on my vehicle. I went from 3.0 to 3.4 with absolutely NO issues at all. This is the easiest tutorial ever!!
Thank you so much. Just did an update for girlfriends 2016 Ford escape. First time update she never wanted to spend the money that Ford was charging. Was an hour to download and a half an hour to update the car. You are my hero today. Thank you again.
I have a 2018 Ford F-150 this worked great!!!! Thank you so much. It did take about 11 mins just for it to recognize the usb . Then only 25 mins to finish the update and install. Thank YOU!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I found that your presentation was the easiest to follow and the update worked like a charm. You're very kind and much appreciated. Be well.
I just did it in my 2017 Ford Kuga (in US it’s called Escape but in Europe we call it Kuga, basically the same car but with a different name) and it works absolutely perfect, thank you very much for such a good tutorial. 🤗
Thank you very much for the comment and glad to hear it all worked out. You may want to thank the author of the program on his website as he really gets all the credit. Have a great day!
This was so helpful, thank you soo much. Wasn't really keen on spending $150 for a map update when there was one for FREE :) I did all the steps then my navigation decided it didn't want to work 😱 but I master reset it after the installation was done (like you said to reset the bugs) then it was algood. Wooohooo
Thank you good sir! This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a 2018 Ford F150. And no matter what I would do, it would not update from V3.0. Thanks again!
Same here it wouldn’t down load after door open and start and a master rest. Nothing the Drive I plugged in wouldn’t do anything. Any help would be appreciated
@@jimosier7034 Not sure what the issue is Jim. I can throw out some guesses, but that's all they would be. Make sure that you don't have any other devices plugged in, that it's not a 2020 or newer vehicle. You could take a look at the files after they are downloaded from the Internet and compare them to mine to make sure they're installed. Other than that, I'm not sure Jim.
This worked exactly as you showed. It took a little longer for me, but I'm all updated. The only disappointment is that the maps version still doesn't have some new areas that were built in 2023 near me. I'll continue to look for an updated map version. Thanks!
I tried to do it from a MacBook Pro computer!!!!🤦🏻♂️ 4 times, and left it in the truck running, almost 6 hrs in total of the different times I’ve tried. I finally got my hand on a PC!!! And am uploading everything they way you’ve explained it step by step!!! I have the Sync 3 2.0!!! My truck is a 2017 ford expedition limited, I even took it to ford dealership, they the Wi-Fi connection, still nothing!! So I hope this works!🙏🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼 I will comeback with an update if it works or not. Wish me luck!!
Hi thank you soo much it worked but I had a map malfunction and to fix it for others if this happens all you need to do is go to settings general and then scroll down to master reset and it will fix the map malfunction Thanks 😃😃
Thanks for the laymen's version. You covered some items not in the more techy vid I watched. Success on the first try. 2017 Transit Sync 3 w/NAV, 2.2 16280 to 3.4 23188, NAV 1.15 to 2.22. SanDisc Ultra 3.0. It took 2 hours to download to the thumbdrive, but only 26 minutes to update the van's Sync.
Thank you for your film. I was very usefull and helpfull. Thanks to it I did myself updating the system together with maps. It took one hour and 15 minutes. Everthink went smoothfly.
Thank You!, Thank You!, Thank You! Updated both my Fords and this works PERFECTLY!!! Thank You So Much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@stuzman52 Again thank you for such comprehensive explanations. Everything went according to your instructions.🙂Now on ver 3.4 build 23188 and map NA 222 (Fusion 2017)
Did this yesterday. And my 2019 Premium GT ragtop needed the maps updated. Other new cars we have had gave 5 years of free map updates. Not Ford. They wanted $240 bucks. Hello Google and Android Auto. Free up to date maps with an even much better voice recognition system. Very dissapointed in Ford's greed pn this, but ended up with a better solution.
Works perfect for me, thank you so much. Would be nice if you can make a video of how to get the climate control on the screen, I need that. Thanks again
Glad to hear the software worked for you. As for your climate control, this should have been updated with the software unless you have a separate issue.
I've updated 2016 f150 sync 3 version 1 but after the update says software updates complete , i did the factory reset but its still showing the version i an on originally not seeing any changes. Any ideas?
Very helpful video. Does anyone know if you should upload the xml file to Ford? My instinct says not to, but install mentioned it. I've done it before, with official updates.
I downloaded and installed the version 3.4.22200 and Maps NA 1 21. Download took 90 minutes and install took 30 minutes. Install was easy. Is there a way to get the radio station logos for HD Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio? That's my only issue with the install.
Hi Randy! I did a quick search on cyanlabs website and came up with this. Read through the threads and see what they're saying. They show a fix, but keep in mind that I have not done this. So, take it for what's it worth. Have a great day! community.cyanlabs.net/t/radio-logos-missing-since-update/2839
Hello, I have a serious question. I want to update my 3.0.20204 version with F11 EU maps to the latest 3.4.xxxxx (although Ford announced officialy the 3.0.23219 version and probably F12 maps). However, CyanLabs in their site suggest the following about AUTOINSTALL METHOD: "You can't use this method to go from 1.x , 2.x or 3.0 to 3.4". For the REFORMAT METHOD they mention "Can be used to upgrade from 1.x, 2.x and 3.0 to 3.4". So, according to them, I should choose the REFORMAT method. But in your video, you have selected the autoinstall directly from 3.0 to 3.4. Will it work properly during installation? In your video, you are reading the reformat instructions although you had chosen autoinstall during the download. I've also noticed in Syn3 Updater, down left it has "automatically chosen" reformat mode. Thanks in advance. My car is a 2017 Ford Focus. The region is Europe.
I couldn't really tell you which is the best method. I would hate to tell you a method and then something happens during the update process. Hope you have a great day!
I have a 2017 Ford Mustang and just changed the sync 1 for sync 3 but is says is in 2.0 version. If i do the update with this program i can have any problems?
I don't know if you would have any issues. I would suggest going over to the website where the program can be retrieved and look over the community questions and answers. If you don't see anything, post your question and see if someone can respond.
Worked great, but not sure why I'm getting the rolling rocks and bronco horse on start up now instead of the Ford logo. I have a 2016 Ford escape like yours.
Not sure Jeff why your logo is different unless the author of the program made a change. You can go to their community on their website where people discussed different issues. Yours may be listed and a possible solution. Here is the address to the community community.cyanlabs.net/latest
When Sirius has their free weekends my radio would not work correctly (2017 F150) slow to respond when I try to change things. I took it to the dealer for another thing and I still have my extended warranty. The radio is covered if it was broke but I was told it just needs and update $178. He told me I could do it myself......found this AND.... I have to admit....although it looked easy I was worried to try. BUT I did it as you said and couldn't be happier. I wish I took a picture of the old version. Question....can I give that flash drive to another friend with a ford?
Glad it worked for you! It's not the best policy to pass the flash drive to your friend. He could have a different build of the software that you. It's best to let him put in his current build and the software will download the needed files for his system.
I click start .. GET THE WARNING , GET THE FORMAT POP UP ,, Then it downloads for 2 seconds and says complete but theirs nothing in the folder. help please
Not sure what your issue is, but maybe this tutorial from cyanlabs.net who developed the program may help. cyanlabs.net/tutorials/sync-3-automated-method-update-to-3-4/ The website also has a community of users who use the program, so you may post your question there and hopefully someone can solve your issue. Have a great day!
Using this software am I able to add maps to my head unit? I had sync2.0 then purchase a sync 3.4 module to replace it. But now I am missing gpsmaps functionality even though I had it before.
Can't answer your question. However, the author of the software has a website in the description. There is a community there which have lots of questions. You may do a search to find your answer or post your question there and someone may help you.
Hi Stuzman, I'm writing to you from Italy and I have to tell you that I haven't found a video in Italian as detailed and precise as yours. I have a Ford with SYNC 3.0 that has been giving me a "navigation error" for a few days. I thought that upgrading to 3.4 might solve the problem. What do you think ? I followed your procedure and I already downloaded 3.4 and maps but I'm afraid my APIM become a brick. Especially in the phase where you have to answer "No" or "YEs" if my APIM is from 2020 or newer. My car is from 2017 so if I'm not mistaken I should answer "NO". Thank you for your opinion. Have a nice day
Hi Marcello. I can understand your anxiety as I felt the same way. If you wish, you can visit their website and look at comments from other users of the program to see if there were any issues with them. I left a link in the description to the community if you wish to review that. For your case, you would say no since you don't have a 2020 or newer vehicle. As you know, mine was a 2016 Escape where I said no in the video. Keep in mind that since this a software update and anything could happen, I'm not responsible for any mishaps that may happen. Good luck!
I could not get the sound to work on this prsentation. It is difficult to follow the video while trying to read subtitles. Did anone else have this problem?
Don't have a answer for you. Go to the website in the description and there are users who post questions to the program. Also, they have a search function for issues.
I suspect that it's normal with the update Eric. Mine does the same thing. I just close the window and it doesn't appear again until the car is restarted. You can ask this question at the website for the program and see if there are any other comments about it. Have a great day!
Hi Troy and glad to hear that you found the video helpful! I don't drive the car that much as the car belongs to the wife. I asked her and she said that you cannot change the destination by using the touch screen while driving other than cancelling the route. But she said it should work with voice commands. I haven't confirmed this myself, but you could give that a try to see if it works.
Got a 17 plate focus here in UK brought car in 2020 with 3 months warranty still on car but sync 3 packed up so took back to ford they put new sync 3 into car so a bit worried about doing this update cos don't really know when it was manufactured is there a way on screen to check manufactured date for this one?
Not sure John, but I would suggest visiting the link in the description where the program is developed and has a community where users post their questions. You could also do a search and see if something is there. Have a great day!
You can post your question or do a search for your issue at the site where the program is downloaded. I'm sure there are folks in their forum that can help you.
There were changes in the interface and things got moved around which improved the looks. The maps were improved which didn't show the vehicle off of a road on newer roads. Also, when touching the interface for different functions, it was quicker and didn't have any lag. Since, it's all free, I would say that it's worth the upgrade. Have a great day!
HELP!! All worked as far as it went..When I put in on the last screen again as region, U.S, Canada Mexico, It said regions do not match. I looked at the top, and it was EU. I live in the US, why did it say EU? Can that be changed...I don't have EUon my Ford Fusion Energi. IOt says that if I continue, it may bugger the thing up HELP
Hi Milt. I don't have an answer of why the software changed. You may want to leave a post where the software is downloaded and ask your question there. Or maybe do a search on the forum and see if this issue has happened to someone else.
How do i know if I have navigation ? I have a 2017 F150. Its got SYNC 3 and the screen shows a 'MAPS' icon but when I press it it doesn't show navigation
looking to try this... but for me i have a ford escape and it doesn't seem to have the navigation enabled so if i download the navigation update will that give me navigation??@@stuzman52
Does this software upgrade allow for wireless android auto or is that hardware related? My 2018 platinum F150 is on sync 3.0 and I want to do this I actually have the latest cyanlabs 3.4 version with nav with voice on a USB I'm just worried about doing it
I don't know the answer to your question. I suggest going over to the website where the program is located and ask your question there. There is a community where someone may be able to help you.
You're saying rest but I assume you mean reset. If you have a issue after the update, then it's recommended to do a master reset. However, in my case, I didn't need to do this. If the update goes well, then I wouldn't worry about a reset.
I'm doing this on a 17 Raptor and right now it is at 2 hours and 12 minutes and still downloading it is making me scared to death that is something is wrong a green strip has not even started it still says please insert USB stick but it is cycling through the pictures
Not sure what your issue is... Go over to www.cyanlabs.net where they have a community forum. Do a search or post your question and see if they can help. Have a great day!
Hi Marcy, it may be because of your computer being an Apple device. I believe the program is designed for Windows. You could also check on their website and post your question on their forum to see if anyone else ran into this issue. Have a great day!
I would think that it should work, but you may want to post your question on the website listed in the description. There is a forum there where many questions are asked.
Don't know... Go to the website in the description and do a search for your question. There is also a forum where someone can possibly answer your question.
If you go to timeline of 4:12 and look where I select region, you can see middle east. I would assume this would include the navigational maps for the middle east if the nav function is selected. You could also go to the website where the program is downloaded and ask your question there. Have a great day!
Thank you for your video. I happened to have the same original sync as you did. Your explanations gave me confidence to do it. And I did. The entire upgrade went flawlessly. Please accept my gratitude.
Happened to stumble upon your tutorial regarding the Ford Sync. I had watched your video regarding mini split AC units. When I found this one I knew Sir you knew what you were talking about.......Thank you Sir!!

The website also has a community of users who use the program, so you may post your question there and hopefully someone can solve your issue. Have a great day!
Using this software am I able to add maps to my head unit? I had sync2.0 then purchase a sync 3.4 module to replace it. But now I am missing gpsmaps functionality even though I had it before.
Can't answer your question. However, the author of the software has a website in the description. There is a community there which have lots of questions. You may do a search to find your answer or post your question there and someone may help you.
Do you have a video on updating a Ford fusion 2020 or newer? Thanks 😊
Sorry, I do not... Have a great day!
Hi Stuzman, I'm writing to you from Italy and I have to tell you that I haven't found a video in Italian as detailed and precise as yours. I have a Ford with SYNC 3.0 that has been giving me a "navigation error" for a few days. I thought that upgrading to 3.4 might solve the problem. What do you think ? I followed your procedure and I already downloaded 3.4 and maps but I'm afraid my APIM become a brick. Especially in the phase where you have to answer "No" or "YEs" if my APIM is from 2020 or newer. My car is from 2017 so if I'm not mistaken I should answer "NO". Thank you for your opinion. Have a nice day
Hi Marcello. I can understand your anxiety as I felt the same way. If you wish, you can visit their website and look at comments from other users of the program to see if there were any issues with them. I left a link in the description to the community if you wish to review that. For your case, you would say no since you don't have a 2020 or newer vehicle. As you know, mine was a 2016 Escape where I said no in the video. Keep in mind that since this a software update and anything could happen, I'm not responsible for any mishaps that may happen. Good luck!
I could not get the sound to work on this prsentation. It is difficult to follow the video while trying to read subtitles. Did anone else have this problem?
I just checked Richard on the laptop and iphone and all works well with the sound.
thanks a lot, very good video :)
I did the update and my map is gone. I don't have a map, can you help me, please?
Don't have a answer for you. Go to the website in the description and there are users who post questions to the program. Also, they have a search function for issues.
After the upgrade, when I start my vehicle, on the screen it says USB HUBS ARE NOT SUPPORTED. PLEASE REMOVE. I don't have any USB connected?
I suspect that it's normal with the update Eric. Mine does the same thing. I just close the window and it doesn't appear again until the car is restarted. You can ask this question at the website for the program and see if there are any other comments about it. Have a great day!
Awesome thank you very much! Is there any way to disable the in motion navigation so passenger can change destinations.
Hi Troy and glad to hear that you found the video helpful! I don't drive the car that much as the car belongs to the wife. I asked her and she said that you cannot change the destination by using the touch screen while driving other than cancelling the route. But she said it should work with voice commands. I haven't confirmed this myself, but you could give that a try to see if it works.
@@stuzman52 thanks I’ll give that a try with the voice control
Got a 17 plate focus here in UK brought car in 2020 with 3 months warranty still on car but sync 3 packed up so took back to ford they put new sync 3 into car so a bit worried about doing this update cos don't really know when it was manufactured is there a way on screen to check manufactured date for this one?
Not sure John, but I would suggest visiting the link in the description where the program is developed and has a community where users post their questions. You could also do a search and see if something is there. Have a great day!
My sync system ist rebooting,but the installation screen with the cars doesnt appear.
You can post your question or do a search for your issue at the site where the program is downloaded. I'm sure there are folks in their forum that can help you.
@@stuzman52 It worked though 👍
Any major changes that actually make it worthwhile? I use Android Auto 99% of the time anyways...
There were changes in the interface and things got moved around which improved the looks. The maps were improved which didn't show the vehicle off of a road on newer roads. Also, when touching the interface for different functions, it was quicker and didn't have any lag. Since, it's all free, I would say that it's worth the upgrade. Have a great day!
HELP!! All worked as far as it went..When I put in on the last screen again as region, U.S, Canada Mexico, It said regions do not match. I looked at the top, and it was EU. I live in the US, why did it say EU? Can that be changed...I don't have EUon my Ford Fusion Energi. IOt says that if I continue, it may bugger the thing up HELP
Hi Milt. I don't have an answer of why the software changed. You may want to leave a post where the software is downloaded and ask your question there. Or maybe do a search on the forum and see if this issue has happened to someone else.
How do i know if I have navigation ? I have a 2017 F150. Its got SYNC 3 and the screen shows a 'MAPS' icon but when I press it it doesn't show navigation
I would think that if you can't type in a destination for a search then you probably don't have navigation.
looking to try this... but for me i have a ford escape and it doesn't seem to have the navigation enabled so if i download the navigation update will that give me navigation??@@stuzman52
Does this software upgrade allow for wireless android auto or is that hardware related? My 2018 platinum F150 is on sync 3.0 and I want to do this I actually have the latest cyanlabs 3.4 version with nav with voice on a USB I'm just worried about doing it
I don't know the answer to your question. I suggest going over to the website where the program is located and ask your question there. There is a community where someone may be able to help you.
I see in the board, it says to rest the settings in the truck???? Is that correct??
You're saying rest but I assume you mean reset. If you have a issue after the update, then it's recommended to do a master reset. However, in my case, I didn't need to do this. If the update goes well, then I wouldn't worry about a reset.
I'm doing this on a 17 Raptor and right now it is at 2 hours and 12 minutes and still downloading it is making me scared to death that is something is wrong a green strip has not even started it still says please insert USB stick but it is cycling through the pictures
Not sure what your issue is... Go over to www.cyanlabs.net where they have a community forum. Do a search or post your question and see if they can help. Have a great day!
Does it still come with navigation if I choose no for my car not having navigation?
If you select no for navigation, the program shouldn't install that feature on your car if it doesn't have it.
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. My downloading process is stuck. It's been stuck at the same place overnight. Am I doing something wrong?
Not sure why it's taking that long. Should only take about 20-30 minutes to download.
I haven't been able to download to UBS through my APPLE laptop. Is there a way to do this?
Hi Marcy, it may be because of your computer being an Apple device. I believe the program is designed for Windows. You could also check on their website and post your question on their forum to see if anyone else ran into this issue. Have a great day!
Can you just do the maps update as I already have Sync 3 v3.4?
I would think that it should work, but you may want to post your question on the website listed in the description. There is a forum there where many questions are asked.
Has anyone gone from Sync 3 version 1.0 to 3.4
Thanks
sorry mate. what is that noise in the background? the vibration
Not sure what you're hearing in the background. Sorry...
will it work on a 2021?
Hi. Will this work for maps in New Zealand. Cheers.
Not sure about that Barrie. You could leave a comment on the site where the program is from as they have a forum. Have a great day!
Will the ford pass app on iPhone still work??
Don't know... Go to the website in the description and do a search for your question. There is also a forum where someone can possibly answer your question.
How can i download a Middle East maps ?
If you go to timeline of 4:12 and look where I select region, you can see middle east. I would assume this would include the navigational maps for the middle east if the nav function is selected. You could also go to the website where the program is downloaded and ask your question there. Have a great day!
Do you still have to pay an annual fee?
Not that I am aware.
Do you have to pay for navigation?
No, it's all free! Have a great day!
Wonder if this will fix my CarPlay not working..
I'm not sure if it would help or not. Since Apple's CarPlay is integrated with Sync3, maybe it would. Not sure...
check your cord
Make sure you have an up too date hub/usb port. I had to buy one with USB 3? in order for CarPlay to work. Android Auto workd fine.
@@chrishoward6921 Thanks Chris for the added information as I'm sure it'll help a lot of viewers out there. Have a great day!
Thank you for your video. I happened to have the same original sync as you did. Your explanations gave me confidence to do it. And I did. The entire upgrade went flawlessly. Please accept my gratitude.
It didn't work with my Ford Focus.😢
I demand you bludey well explain yourself properly, one can’t get it to update with your instructions
