Hey, Nice video guide and thanks for linking and not stealing all the credit as many others have, I haven't watched all of it but you just popped up on my homepage so I thought i would comment. Obviously, I am the creator of the guide on cyanlabs. Just a quick note on something you skipped over that can cause issues if not done is to make sure your USB is set to the older MBR partition type instead of the newer GPT (GUID on mac) partition type, this can be done In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, choose View > Show All Devices. then erase the device itself rather than the partitions.
Just did this on my 2018 RS and it worked great! Used a USB 3.0 and the process took about 30 minutes. The first half of the loading bar took 20 minutes, then the last half was 5-10. Climate controls worked right away! Haven't tested navigation, as my parking garage has no service, but I typically use carplay.
@@It7xc ya it definitely takes longer than a normal update since it’s such a big change. I think the biggest thing was the maps updating. All the updates I’ve done since the initial update to 3.4 have been normal (around 15 minutes) since you don’t have to update the maps every time.
Works perfectly fine with 2017 Mondeo (Fusion). I have a non-nav version so the update was about 4x faster. I did not install 20021 but 19200 as the non-nav might not have enough space. Have to check and might try later. I previously had SYNC 3.1 and recently updated to 3.3. The update from 3.3. to 3.4. was okay though. Had to start the car twice after updating but now works great. Great video guide - read the webpage though as well.
At first I was to worried I would mess mine up with this unofficial update but it worked like a charm on my 2012 Explorer with a Sync 3 upgrade. Thanks for the vids.
Just did a update for my mondeo mk5 2017 with sync 3.0 and F8 maps . Had startup logo " ST performance " and as screen the lincoln version. I am a happy man. Everything works perfect and the same as before. THX Great update.
First off, great detail on the video. I am in the process of following your step by step tutorial to update my f150. One question for you, do you get the Mustang logo at each start up and can that be changed to the Ford logo or F150 logo?
Just did it on my 2018 st2 but I didn't get the climate control button. I'm not mad but I'm curious as to what happened. It looks like the same sync otherwise, just with a gui refresh. Still worth it though, I'm glad Ford maintained the compatibility.
I've been researching doing this since 3.3 came out and they didn't support the 2017 Escape APIM. This is an awesome video. I hope you see this question. Once you do this, how will you update? Does it *see* updates like normal or do you always have to make a USB. I know the reformat is just a one time thing. Please let me know and again... Fantastic walkthough. Subbed.
To update past this you will have to go the USB route again. The website has more details because it's different depending on which version of sync 3.4 you have.
I'm helping a friend that has a Canadian 2017 Ford Explorer and he wants to update his maps will this method work on his vehicle? All the reading I've done from the info your provided tells me it can be done. Since I never did any updates on a vehicle before I would just like to confirm.
@@TechnationXyz Happy to report the process worked on my friends 2017 Explorer he is very happy. First time it didn't recognize the second usb had to use a different usb and it worked as expected.
You probably won't see this message given it's year ago. I am having the same issue on my 2017 ST3. I cannot get the climate to come on. How did you resolve the issue, and get the climate to come on?
tried this and it worked. Well done Now 1 problem i do have is that i cannot see the climate icon on the screen. is this something that is only possible in th US version. I am from EU

@Stephen G For your RS, are you having any problems with climate controls? Also, is the splash screen still appearing as the factory RS splash screen during start and shutdown? Thanks
@@azrael-pk6491 No climate issues (although admittedly I haven't driven my car but 20 miles in the past 2-3 weeks) and I see the "RS - Ford Performance" logo both on boot up and shut down
Hi from the Domincan Republic, i bought a Mustang 2016, and how do i know if its Nav or not because in my country navs defaults systems never cover us or simply if that doesnt matter?

I was wondering... With the update to 3.4, can you change the usb module to USB-C? Just throwing the question out there.

It should be released for you car I believe. You won't have to update this way if I'm not mistaken. You can check the Ford owners website (just assuming they have that in the UK) and yeah a dealer should be able to update you to this too.
I checked on ford.co.uk , says my software is up to date. I have heard of people getting 3.4 from Eastern European websites! I think I’ll wait until it’s officially released for UK.

@@TechnationXyz Thanks, my model is 2017 and I updated to 3.3. like a month ago and now just found this. So I am just curious if it is going to work when updating from 3.3. or if I should wait
Awe man. A friend of mine just told me if i have the GEN 4 late 2019 APIM with 3.3 on it, i can't do this upgrade on mine. Only if i have a GEN 3 APIM 2016-2018. :-( Is this true? If so, how can i upgrade my 3.3 to 3.4? i have Maps 1-19 on it already. My APIM is from a late 2019 Fusion.
You should be able to just download the 3.4 update and load it like you would a regular update. www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/just-updated-to-sync-3-4-on-my-ranger-2019.5988/

Is your APIM a manufacturing date of 2015? I messed up a got a GM5T-14G370-KL from 2016 focus RS but it was manufactured in 11/2015 sync 3. Not sure what version is defaulted on there. Was told I need to find a 2016+ for stability. Was wondering if you know you module born date as I didn’t want to Have a buy yet another one. I think I can get this pen updated to 3.4
TORQUE & TECH maybe by the VIN. Its on a sticker on the backside of the radio . I’m upgrading a 2016 ST1 with a 2016 RS donor reprogrammed. I’m guessing you might be on a 2015 module as you mentioned 3.4 was not intended for this model update. Any stability issues? Have you ever had any issues with your screen prior and after updates?
@@gofast8144 yeah I would assume so too. And nothing major. Screen flickering sometimes. Bluetooth can be a bit shaky (skipping or disconnects here and there)
TORQUE & TECH didnt think to mention your build date also on the driver door. The month and year might tell a lot which one you have based on the car build month and year this one was 11/18/2015 going into a 2016 RS. Thanks for replying. I use usb audio why I’m wanting the oem car play and just line converter and power my speakers with 4ch and mono for sub. Thanks for replying
@@gofast8144 ohh shoot yeah. Now that I think of it, it def is 2015. And you're welcome. Thanks for watching! Ohh I lied it def has the bug where it gets hung up on radio instead of switching back to Bluetooth sometimes when turning the car on.
@@TechnationXyz awesome dude thanks for the reply, do you know also if there's a way to go from non nav to having nav? 🤔 I use Android auto but just curious
@@danvalder No. The Sync 3 Nav APIMs have a different module. It is larger than non-nav units to store the map data. If you wanted to add Ford navigation to your APIM, you would need the APIM of a car that came equipped with it. MyFord used an SD Card and could be enabled by enabling the Nav option with third party software.
@@TechnationXyz it doesn't do anything for me unfortunately. I'm going over their site right now and seeing if I maybe missed a step. Idk it's kinda irritating lol
@@TechnationXyz I got it to work finally. I had a to use an app called Rufus that I use to use to make boot drives for Windows. It formatted the USB drive property. Im currently in my car waiting for it to be done lol

Hey, will there be an official release of SYNC 3.4. on Ford's website? I have SYNC 3.3 on my Mondeo (Europe) now and have read that people with 3.2 or 3.3 should not do it via this and wait for Ford's release. Which version have you updatet from? Thanks
I updated from from 3.0 I've heard that 2019s will get it officially.
@@TechnationXyz Thanks, my model is 2017 and I updated to 3.3. like a month ago and now just found this. So I am just curious if it is going to work when updating from 3.3. or if I should wait
@@ondrejhengeric7062 oh it's a 2017 I'm not exactly sure if you'll get it from Ford. I've only heard 2019s officially.
@@TechnationXyz Thanks man, I'm about to try it so will post here if it works for other people when done
@@ondrejhengeric7062 ok cool!
Hello, I have a ford focus with SYNC 3 2.2, can I update to version 3.4? Thanks
Yes. I'm not aware of anyone going from 2.2 to 3.4 so if you wanted to go from 2.2 to 3.0 then to 3.4 you could do that too.
Does this have Apple car play enabled ?
Hi, great video thanks for sharing. Would this update work for my UK Ford Fiesta 2018?
That I'm not 100% sure of. There are different versions on the link. I would honestly check the link and ask around there in the comments.
Lee , have u got 3.3 ? I’ve got a 19 focus . Ford website says no updates available
is there a version with a lincoln logo?
Does this update only work for newer Ford's ? Won't work with a ford st 13?
No you need to switch out your Sync system for the Sync 3 system.
Wonderful information , will this work with Ford ecosport India
Check the site I'm not sure if they have a version for your market.
I put climate control on pre install might install this if worth it. Don’t want to lose my setting my st start uo
You shouldn't lose it.
Awe man. A friend of mine just told me if i have the GEN 4 late 2019 APIM with 3.3 on it, i can't do this upgrade on mine. Only if i have a GEN 3 APIM 2016-2018. :-( Is this true? If so, how can i upgrade my 3.3 to 3.4? i have Maps 1-19 on it already. My APIM is from a late 2019 Fusion.
You should be able to just download the 3.4 update and load it like you would a regular update. www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/just-updated-to-sync-3-4-on-my-ranger-2019.5988/
I'm seeing different things from 2019 owners. On this page they are saying they followed all the steps. www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/rcmustangs-magnetic-fx4.2048/page-13
I have a 2020 & i dont have the navigation selection!! Why is that??
oh did you car come with navigation from the factory?
@@TechnationXyz i have sync 3.4 it says it's supposed to come with navigation but i donde have it. How can i install it?
@@LifeWithAshley_ it only comes with it if your car has it from the factory. I'm not sure how to add it after the fact.
Is your APIM a manufacturing date of 2015? I messed up a got a GM5T-14G370-KL from 2016 focus RS but it was manufactured in 11/2015 sync 3. Not sure what version is defaulted on there. Was told I need to find a 2016+ for stability. Was wondering if you know you module born date as I didn’t want to Have a buy yet another one. I think I can get this pen updated to 3.4
Dang idk what my module build date is. I can look for it for you. How do I find it?
TORQUE & TECH maybe by the VIN. Its on a sticker on the backside of the radio . I’m upgrading a 2016 ST1 with a 2016 RS donor reprogrammed. I’m guessing you might be on a 2015 module as you mentioned 3.4 was not intended for this model update. Any stability issues? Have you ever had any issues with your screen prior and after updates?
@@gofast8144 yeah I would assume so too. And nothing major. Screen flickering sometimes. Bluetooth can be a bit shaky (skipping or disconnects here and there)
TORQUE & TECH didnt think to mention your build date also on the driver door. The month and year might tell a lot which one you have based on the car build month and year
this one was 11/18/2015 going into a 2016 RS. Thanks for replying. I use usb audio why I’m wanting the oem car play and just line converter and power my speakers with 4ch and mono for sub. Thanks for replying
@@gofast8144 ohh shoot yeah. Now that I think of it, it def is 2015. And you're welcome. Thanks for watching! Ohh I lied it def has the bug where it gets hung up on radio instead of switching back to Bluetooth sometimes when turning the car on.
Is there an upgrade for those who don't have the maps? Or is it only if you have the Nav?
There is one for non nav too. Check out the link. It is listed after the nav update.
@@TechnationXyz awesome dude thanks for the reply, do you know also if there's a way to go from non nav to having nav? 🤔 I use Android auto but just curious
@@danvalder No. The Sync 3 Nav APIMs have a different module. It is larger than non-nav units to store the map data. If you wanted to add Ford navigation to your APIM, you would need the APIM of a car that came equipped with it.
MyFord used an SD Card and could be enabled by enabling the Nav option with third party software.
@@austinyates3682 great to know that's brother
Did you just use two USB drives because the size was small?
No mostly to keep you from going back in and redoing the drive for the second part of the install
TORQUE & TECH
Thank you for your response, but couldn’t I just download both files on a 32gb USB. I don’t have NAV so I guess both would fit?
@@CryptoCwis it's a two step process I'm not sure that would work but I also haven't done the update for none nav.
Hello, is it possible to activate NAV on a NO NAV sync3 ?
As far as I know I don't know of a way to activate navigation on no nav cars with Sync 3.
its stuck on please insert usb stick. Any suggestions? I have everything formatted properly
Inserting the second stick does nothing?
@@TechnationXyz it doesn't do anything for me unfortunately. I'm going over their site right now and seeing if I maybe missed a step. Idk it's kinda irritating lol
@@pimpustthugni lol I bet it is. Any luck?
@@TechnationXyz I got it to work finally. I had a to use an app called Rufus that I use to use to make boot drives for Windows. It formatted the USB drive property. Im currently in my car waiting for it to be done lol
@@pimpustthugni great! I was thinking that might have been the problem. Glad you got it working! Hope you like the update.
Its works in F fiesta titanium 2018? I have sync 3.0 original
Yep you should be good to go 👍
Will it work on a 2k14 focus SE?
Sadly no. You'd have to actually buy the Sync 3 system and install it then you can do it.
TORQUE & TECH I appreciate the response. This is what I get for buying a Ford car. 🤦🏽♂️
Hello, there is just a little bug. Some times it doesn't recognize my USB flash drive, and sometimes when it does, only half what's on it. That's the only miner. The rest works great.
Will it work with India spec ford ecosport 2018 sync 3?
I'm not exactly sure. Check the link and see if one is for India. I can't remember off the top of my head.
When I plug in the first USB I’m getting error code PKG_ERROR. Any suggestions for this?
Is it the error with the red screen?
TORQUE & TECH no it’s right off the start. when I plug it in and start the car it does everything yours did in the video but then before it actually goes black it just throws that error code. I appreciate the help
@@garrettkirby2132 hmm that's odd. Maybe the file was not unzipped properly. I know when I was trying to update officially from Ford once I was getting errors.
TORQUE & TECH that was the problem the files were not unzipped properly I redid it and plugged it back in and got it on here. it works like a champ! Thanks so much for this video you rock man!
@@garrettkirby2132 great! Glad I helped out. And thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy.
